I am hoping to find a copy of the sped up instrumental to I have faith in you as below

Thanks to some info I am led to believe that it was on the other side of a Barbara Mcnair bootleg which was on a white label with a solid centre and on a Goldmine double LP (Green cover) Northern Soul of detroit.

Any info or copies then please get in touch

Cheers!

yeh had this a few years ago same copy as youtube clip but cant remember it being speeded up...more of a case of being

pitched up?

 

anyway happy hunting and a great instro

Really couldn't think why any DJ would want to pitch it up as it's perfect for me anyway, got this for a fiver at a London record fair in the early 90s (?)

I'm sure I heard it was a pressing fault, and that's why it's sped up, I wouldn't change the pitch personally, I'll leave that to the pop corn DJ's

The white label boot and the LP track are both at about 48rpm

Pete is the quality all as crap as this sounds are is this just a poor recording!

Well I've got one which I had on an acetate which is perfect quality, right speed, everything.  The one on the LP, single, and on the cd Northern Soul Time are all of lesser quality than that first recording, only slightly but definitely more lo fi, and they are all at the wrong speed.

If anyone wants the best quality, right speed version, I'll upload it somewhere and you can all just download it for yourselves

Here we go

 Cheers Pete!!

The vocal version on the recently released 'Soul Master' CD is much longer than the 45 version ... worth a listen for those many extra seconds !

Wigan 75 , Detroit  Symphony , Sounded  wonderful in the main hall , didnt realise the 45 was speeded up , did think it was a bit short, Also on early goldmine cd   " The soul of Detroit " 

Worst case scenario I'll settle for cd, any links as to where to buy. Is it the same as what Pete uploaded? Need to download it on my computer tomorrow

why not download, burn it onto a cd then get yourself a carver cut

Because it would sound dreadful?

To be honest, now I've heard Pete's upload (cheers!) I quite like the 'normal' speed, I'd only ever really heard the sped up version.

I don't think it was originally speeded up, just when it came out on Soul Of Detroit and on the bootleg 45.

Why, it's a great recording

Terrific Insremental very slightly speeded up. still play it out when the time is right Lovely Atmospheric sound A Timeless Tune  picked it up for about a £5 Twenty plus years ago It rivals the vocal versions which is realy a big statement.  all 3 are terrific. take your pick..

Keep on Trucking Mick L

Why, it's a great recording

 

I'm not disputing that Pete, but it'll have been compressed when you made an MP3 of it and then more info will be lost when it's cut to a carver - far from the best vinyl format in itself.

It's one thing having acetates cut from vinyl, by first recording as a high quality WAV or AIFF file (which are not completely lossless anyway) but cutting a carver from an MP3 is going to result in something sounding inferior to your acetate, I'd wager.

I swear I can't tell the difference - I keep getting these albums in lossless format and I convert them to mp3!

I'd guess you're listening to them at home rather than in a large room over a big PA? My computer sounds great playing youtube clips through the hi-fi at home, but I know it would sound pretty poor out of the house.

I was playing with a couple of (non-soul) DJs last weekend and one of them was playing MP3s from a laptop in a room that held about 500. Sounded diabolical next to vinyl. Same at an annual event I do with people playing all formats - we have hell on getting the laptop guys to sound decent if they're playing MP3s

I haven't left the house for four years so you would be right there

You should get out for a walk sometime - it's lovely!

No I mean to a soul do...I did get a dog so that I could go for long walks except he attacks every other dog he sees, hence me not doing as much walking as I thought I;d be doing

I was kidding originally - but now I think you should just stay in!

depends how badly he wants a 45 of it tho

If I couldn't play it out then I'd just stick to it on cd or mp3 to be honest. Car/at home tune
