Fake live album 'on top'. Studio real sessions with fake 'live effects' blended/mixed' in between every songs. Was trendy to do so I guess. Indeed shame to spoil it as such. But great LP still. Timothy Wilson 45 on Budha otherwise. Cheers, Tim

Great track from the "Live" (but not really live ) LP on MFP Music For Pleasure, but never a single as far as I know.

I remember getting the LP from a local 2nd hand shop for not much more than 50p with a few others like it, then not playing it for many years, only to then "re-discover" it after seeing the this track on one of Mr Hampsey's "They Call it Crossover" CD compilations a year or so ago.

It is a real shame about the fake cheering at the start and end, but I forgive them as it was a long time ago

Cheers, Steve.

Also Stage IV version on Millie

The O'jays version is as clean as a whistle with no overdubs on the 'I'll Be Sweeter Tomorrow' CD on Sundazed. Great collection of their Bell stuff with a couple of unreleased tracks. Sadly not on a scratched piece of vinyl with WOL and ring wear but it sure sounds good !

Originally from their Bell LP "Back on top", the same LP was then re-released by Bell as "The O'Jays" in circa 69/70. Then issued again in about 74 on MFP, and 76 on Kory. Looks like the tracks owners were trying to cash in the O'Jays popularity. Superb album in my opinion, although the dubbed on "live" noises is a little off-putting.

"Just another guy" was LP only as far as I am aware. The original studio version (undubbed) didn't see the light until the aforementioned Sundazed CD "I'll be sweeter tomorrow, the Bell sessions" in about '02.

The song was co-wriiten & produced by sweet soul legend George Kerr.

PS. I swear we've had this question before btw.

There's a fantastic unreleased version on the recent Kent Spinners CD too!

Hear it:

Thanks for the info Paul. I have always wondered about a Motown connection with this track as it's published by Jobette. Now to get a copy of the Spinners CD.

Great stuff,

Dave
