Posted April 5, 201312 yr Does anyone have any info as the reagrds to the diffrent takes of this track ie why the UK release is different to the US one
April 5, 201312 yr Probably a multitude of reasons. The uva side of this Sam & Dave 45 ("It Was So Nice While It Lasted" -- US) 1st gets a mention in Billboard mag in March 1963 when it is noted that Roulette's Bud Katzell had cut the song on the duo -- BTW till their 1st 45 release in 62 they were still known (for all their live gigs) as Sam Moore & Dave Prater ...... The track was released again in March 66 but with a different tuva side ("It Feels So Nice") and not "You Ain't No Big Thing Baby". "You Ain't No Big Thing Baby" escaped in the UK (on King 45 + LP) in 1966 .......... both the 2nd US 45 & the UK 45 being put out to 'cash in' on the duo's Atlantic / Stax success. My guess is that the tracks they had cut for Roulette in 62/63 were remixed for their 1966 outings, to make them sound more like the duo's Stax tracks. The uva side of the UK King 45 -- "No More Pain" -- was the duo's 1st release on Roulette in 62. Edited April 5, 201312 yr by Roburt
