The Moments. WPR002 The Moments “Baby I Want You” b/w “Pray For Me”

 

Just a quick question,

 

Are both these songs the same (mix) as the original 45 ?

 

Thanks

 

Baby I Want You is the same as the original single, it's slightly lo-fi and a bit slower than it used to be played out at but I'm positive it's the same recording.

I used it on this podcast

Thanks Pete ........... 

I'm pretty sure they didn't have access to tape and had to master off a recording of a 45.

Original master tapes of both sides of Moments on Hog plus a previously unreleased track* were advertised on Ebay some time ago (2 years maybe?). Don't know if they sold in the end.

 

* Might have been the flipside of the Wax Poetics reissue but am not sure.

that was definitely at least a couple of years after the waxpo reissue. the reissue just has both sides of the hog single and a writeup that corrects the previously incorrect published article where they said there was no connection to the stang group.

I see, thanks. Didn't know the reissue is that old. Thought it's a recent one.

I see Bleeker Bob's record shop in Greenwich village where I first found the unnamed acetate that was christened the Fabulous Impacts came from has closed.

Oh no! A true legend and long time friend-Bob Plotnick. Very few got on with him, but what a character. I was with him and Mick Jagger in '81 talking about Northern and how much Bob hated limeys.....brilliant!

My first purchase off him was 100 copies of the Dealers-You Got It(Big Bunny) back in '75.

the waxpo article was just a mizell interview and they were like "do you know the moments on hog is worth a zillion dollars" and they were like "really? we have tons of those in our basement!" of course they never surfaced but it's what led to the reissue.
