Godzilla Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Is it this? I'm not a popcorn expert but I think a mate once put this on a CD for me. Don't shoot the messenger by the way! 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It is that. It's credited to ROG Whittaker on the record (Fontana I think, without checking). I've actually got this on a 45. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soul-slider Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Found a Cilla Black L.p in the charity shop the other day and it had a nice version of 'Everything I Touch Turns To Tears'... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-QL-nEPXuw I also have it by 'Brian Poole' I'm pretty sure the tune got played on the scene but which version?

Barry St John was the only one that got played. Brian Poole only collected by UK label nuts. There's something else on that Cilla LP isn't there, Yo Yo or something like that. There's another male version of it on US Amy or Mala. Barry St John's is the only version (for me anyway.) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 That's the one, Barry St.John'!!! Cheers Pete. The picture on the youtube video is not the LP I found, this is the lp I got, original 1966 Parlophone... Cilla is backed by 'The Marrionettes' and the L.P contains versions of: 'There's No Place To Hide' '123' 'Baby I'm Yours' 'The Real Thing' (very uptempo Motown soundalike) 'Everything I Touch...' 'In A Woman's Eyes' Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 'The Real Thing' (very uptempo Motown soundalike)... As in a cover of the Tina Britt song Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

'In A Woman's Eyes' Thats the LP I was thinking of, there's two from that periood with stacks of soul covers on, shame her voice isn't better/stronger. I still like the B side of You're My World, "Suffer Now I Must". Best get away from talking about Cilla Black before someone crashes the thread to tell us off.

Soul-slider Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah, the backing is great and so are the Marrionettes but Cilla's voice needs a bit more power. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Well, as we are talking about naff 'pop' UK being incorporated into the UK Popcorn/Soul scene, how about this tune... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380457831777?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1064wt_1371 I got one last night for £2.45 post free and there's another on ebay at the moment for pennies so I'm not sure where the £50 price tag came from! Apparently played at Mod nights. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
