Did My Baby Call

Posted

Hi there,

does anyone know how many versions of Did my baby Call by Steve Mancha there are? 've heard a soundclip of one , but there is a far superior version on The Essential Detroit cd compilation. Were both release on vinyl? If anyone can shed more light on this for me, i'd be grateful.........

thanks,

I can think of 4 off the top of my head

I think Essential Detroit CD is Professionals version.

But both vocal is Steve Mancha.

I seem to remember something about Tim listing it as the Professionals version on a CD ... but it actually being the Steve Mancha version .... could be very wrong though .. it has been known beer.gif

Great record by both .... here's the Steve Mancha version which i was given as a 21st birthday present would you believe .... 19 years ago .... from my pal Carl Fortnum ranting_1.gif

That was a nice Birthday present!! That version is good, but i think the "essential detroit cd" version packs a better punch(imo anyway).

What a great song well sung by mister mancha - have always loved the Mad Lads version released in 1972 on Volt 4080 as well.

There is a huge doubt in my mind as to whether The Professionals version of DMBC features Steve Mancha on lead vocals: he had a tremendously distinctive voice and the guy who sings the group version has never sounded anything like him to my ears. Anyone out there agree with me? Soundclips would be a good place to start: anyone got any for a side by side comparison?

Will up load the Professionals later as the site cant accept them at the moment due to the move

I've put the Steve Mancha one up Gareth .... don't have the Professionals i'm afraid .....

hi guys

steve mancha and the professionals share the same backing but the groove city release

has a longer intro and is a different and IMHO superior vocalist. but as joan said. When it was put on the

detroit cd i think they got the versions mixed up

I bought a copy of Steve Mancha, thinking that it was the version on the cd. :angry: Bloody pissed off when it wasn't. The professionals is the superior version I.M.H.O. just for the long intro alone, very atmospheric played loud. :wave:

Is there a version by Joey Kingfish, or did I just imagine that?
I think so,maybe on 1 of the goldmine groovesville cds. Did my baby call is fantastic,for me the professionals wins,my alltime favourite double sider,detroit perfection.
