Doing a poll to see what`s you fav version of all this on  different track titles.

 

I could also do with what year they were released,this is what info i have got from previous threads on this:

 

 

 

 

I`d rather leave on my feet-Clyde Milton on Disco Tac Records "Ž— CM 101

it seems this was first version,maybe late 70`s/79?    

 

 

I`d rather leave on my feet-Emmanuel Laskey on Dt 100

Came out in 1980 on 2 presses.For me the Green one and best version. Silver is a different mix.So this was first release on this label so rest are 

all from the 80`s.

 

You turn me on-Fourth Day on Dt 104.

Great double sider and the best version for me,same backing as I`d rather leave etc but different lyrics.No year on this,any ideas?    

 

You Turn Me On-Magnificents Dt 104.

Slower version from memory(used to have it)  same label number as Fourth Day so did they get released same year?

 

 

Feel free to add any more versions  

 

 

Clock is ticking

Clyde Milton for me as this is the version i play out, never bothered with the others, Rick

I also thought there are different versions of the Clyde Milton on different coloured labels?

He wrote the song, but I'm with Wayne and think the lyrics on fourth day suit the music better

Can't we agree it's just a pretty good tune from the late Dennis Talley and great that he kept recycling it.

 

Will try and find my pics of 4th Day, Emmanuel in the 70s etc. But that reminds me....when I interviewed Mr Laskey in 1999 on Soul 24-7 radio he was living in a project in abject poverty, he claimed he'd been ripped off of all his records etc. And a singer who gave so many so much pleasure with his singing.

sad but a common story on artists money from records.

 

I like them all.

 

I have clyde & laskey's,

 

never got round to buyin fourth day,my hate had it but sold it soon after as didn't like production compared to lackey's,think fourth days was same as laskey's silver label production.

 

I listen to laskey's full disco version b-side everytime,just love the inst break in it.

Steve,have you still got  podcast of the show i could listen to pls? Looking for year of release on all these?

 

Thx for all replies so far 

 

I agree the disco mix is the better  side and the one  i always used to play but now i`m getting into the other side

Hi Wayne,

Cherry Missmas to you and the Salster!

 

BTW - think it was the first radio interview I ever did.....

Great interview Steve,love to hear the  unreleased Motown material Mr Laskey  Did back in 1978 .Might be a welcome payday for him as well.

 

Have they been found yet?i know there`s been a recent Motown box set ,maybe one for the future

i prefer the silver emanuel laskey..the violins on the green are a bit `whiny` to me... had the fourth day but sold it last year

 

the magnificents seems to be popular

Bought EL and 4thD as new releases...so still prefer 4thD and EL (green label version)in that order...old(v.old)habits....die-hard!

The Magnificents were Jack Ashford / Lorraine Chandler's group yes? Got their "There can be a better way" on MAM, which we used to think was the same as The Smith Brothers, but isn't. So who were The Magnificents? 

Green version by far!

all great, voted for Clyde Milton for his vocal...just took to his voice straight away, but they are all great, actually I haven't heard The Magnificients as yet...
