Ila Vann - You made me this way

Recommended Posts


A big THANK YOU to the post originator for the favour you have inadvertently bestowed upon my ageing ears..

I can't believe I have never before heard, or somehow come across this 45 previously - possibly due to my historically prioritising 6T's tunes over 70's recordings.

But what a fantastic slab of Soul THAT is !!

If, as indicated, it was a big Mecca spin then surely it is ripe  for some current turntable action? I would defo be giving that some regular deck time were I in that position - and will now be quietly looking for a copy (at a bargain price, of course.. :wicked:)

Does get a few spins these days, especially down south at Crossfire and 100 Club all-nighters.

Well, there ya go then !! That just goes to confirm two things..

1) My sentiments as to the 45 being deserved of turntable exposure at today's venues - the fact the 100 Club gives it deck time being a huge accolade in itself !!

2) Obviously.. I don't get out anywhere near enough.. :g:

And.. I'll STILL take a sensibly priced (Fingers definition) copy :yes:

Why do folk go on about records they want to get on here before they have got hold of a copy?  Only bumps up the price next time anyone who wants to sell one Googles it. And we all moan about prices going up? SMH...

I bought my first copy from Soul Bowl in the mid 70s for two pounds it jumped in the middle passages but this was solved with a 2p coin on the headshell of my Garrard decks playing arm,(didn't understand then what a fickle material styrene was back then), picked another mint copy up about 3 years ago for £90 and this plays very well on my Technics deck, I won't be putting any 'pennies' on this one.

Sits alongside those other 70s Femme Favourites, Margo Thunder, Jodi Mathis Loleatta Holloway Eloise Laws  etc.
