Was this only ever released on vinyl as a 7'' packaged with 1999 released ltd edition cd (JBA - 002) ?

I bought one of these about 5 years ago on e-bay - the single only with no CD-

It's a one sided press and is Joe Boy #JBA 002V.

HI ALL ...The pros & cons of this classic song, TIMI YURO cut is a superb version, and a HOLY GRAIL, TO FIND A COPY AT A OXFAM SHOP OR CAR BOOT ain't gonna happen, every body who knows very little will be aware of it? the record for me, comes from the tail end of must have UK 45s along with RAY MERREL, TONY MIDDLETON, PARADOX, SUE LYN, & THE RARE UK MGMs, value £750....

PAT LEWIS on the other hand was a JOE BOY DEMO given away with a CD, HOWEVER the positive side is this PAT LEWIS is a classic Detroit SOUL SINGER, she is very affay with the northern scene and had the comfort of playing TIMI YUROS Record, thus ensuring she got it right, well in my opinion she got 100% right and making it the best version, so that's what I think and I own them both, DAVE K

Couldn't have put it any better .

Must admit I enjoyed all three the Joe Boy releases , similarly packaged , great tracks on the cds and each with a 7' single . Must dig out the one with the previously unreleased Roy Hemmings version of 'night owl'

Pat sang this at Solid Hit Soul February 2012, sounded great & went down very well with everyone there.

Funnily enough I never knew until now that she had released it ;-)

Is it an old recording or a more recent thingie

• Solid Hit Soul with Ronnie Walker live + Residents Des Parker, Stuart Tyler, Shane Cox & Dave Greenhill.15th February 2013 Shooting Star 125 Middlesex Street London E1 7JF 3 minutes from Liverpool Street Station
  
• Hi All thanks for the comments, it goes as a big plus that the TIMI YURO was upstaged by PAT also shows that it is a great song, must say that TIMIS "INSULT TO INJURY" is fave of mine
  
• Just looked at the SOLID HIT SOUL VENUE! is very close to the shop that sold the top exclusive BEN SHERMANS 68/69 always a Que on SUNDAY morning, then we would walk up the lane, to SHCMOCKER who sold JAYTEX & BRUTUS, ALSO LEVI STA-PRESS A BIT OF SPIRIT OF 69 NOSTALGER from "more than SKIN DEEP"

I think Baby Washington did pretty well with it.

I hadn't heard this until i started lookin around on YouTube. Timi Yuro in Spanish. Great!:

yes baby washington just scraped into the billboard 100 with it in 1964

That comes from a Timi Yuro fan site where they put all of their unreleased recordings up for everyone to hear, there's some fantastic stuff there if you can find the site.

The alternative take of Insult is fab:

Yet another interesting post on this site.

She sang this at a live appearance at one of the Ritz all-nighters circa 2000. Anybody remember which one? As for Timi Yuro, remember Ted Massey playing it at The Central Hotel, Cannock, late 80's. Personally, I prefered her version of, "What's a matter baby?" Did that ever get played anywhere? LJ Reynold's instrumental version ( The Penguin Breakdown) was quite a popular Alan Day play at the tail end of the "Up the Junction" all-nighters in 1972.

I did find one at a car boot, granted around fifteen years ago now. 50p! I think I prefer the Baby Washington version, but the two are so different it is difficult to compare.

The Pat Lewis is a great version, definitely on a par with the Timi Yuro version IMHO 

My Favourite is the Thee Midniters - It'll Never Be Over For Me (Whittier 501) 1966 The voice of Little Willie G and the defiance in his voice is tremendous I know it's too slow for any decent dance floor action but when I listen to it at home it just makes me feel prepared for lifes ups & downs.

yeah, midniters for me.
