Hello,

 

Maybe someone can help me to see things clearer with Tams - This Precious Moment ...

I am aware of different presses and versions :

 

I know about a 1982 Supreme belgian press which song I love.

Then, there are two different takes on 1978 yellow Sounds South label : one with sax in it, one with violins (the same version as the belgian press).

And I am a bit clueless when it comes to the 1978 red Sounds South press ... How many takes are they with this one ?

 

I think part of the answer is in the cat# number : according to discogs, there are two numbers for each press (red and yellow) : S0 14098 and S0 14099.

 

I want to buy the violin version, how the hell should I proceed ?

 

 

 

 

TO BE CLEARER ...

 

Is this the same mix as the US red label press ?

 

Red and yellow are the same mix, same as the Belgium one above. The other version was from the album.

My yellow One is/was different than the Belgium one , I cant play it as I just sold it but I know it's not the same as above    

 

The Yellow one has the Sax in the beginning 

 

Cheers

do you know what I can't bloody remember what my Yellow one sounded like DOH ! but this one off youtube

That one above doesn't match the picture, i'm sure that's from the album.

I had both red and yellow at the same time and i never noticed any difference.

Is it possible that there are 2 takes ? A friend of mine has the yellow one and it sounds just like the belgian one ...

Laura, I've just sold the yellow Sounds South 45 and it is definitely the same as the Belgian copy above.

Thanks Neil ! What about the red copy ?

My red copy does not have the sax bit at the beginning. Sounds very much like the Supreme version. It's the same length (2:35), dated 1978.

I can see why Laura didn't want that mix, its inferior to the normal version.

The recording on this is not lifted from the Yellow labelled version 45…….Must be a later mix from LP or some other release ? People do these sort of things all the time on Youtube. They lift a scan of a 45 from somewhere and a sound clip from another source.

 The red and yellow 45 versions are both identical recordings and the Belgian copy sounds the same too….

Ivor Jones, thank you so much for your answer ! Now, I finally know ! Alan T was already pointing at this direction and I was beginning to blame Youtube as well

 

Regards,

Laura

Sorry for the confusion 

i had the red copy.... and the belgian you tube clip is mine from the actual 45...both are the same

Just a matter of interest ,what was 1st? Red or Yellow? I was under the impressive Red. Just been looking at prices and the yellow is listed on line at £99-160, yet Red at £88. Am i missing something here, cos i never thought it was hard to find both colours.
