Also love writer Mark Capanni's blue eyed (original) version on Capitol but I know some people think it's utter shite. There was a thread on here a while back with Ian Dewhirst singing its praises. I've got a warped copy that needs blue tack and a drawing pin to play properly but well worth the effort :D

I still love it. It's just such a great song and I prefer the production on the Mark Capanni original to the Jackson Sisters version (which I had multiple copies of in the 70s and couldn't give 'em away lol). For me it's just a great song period. But that Mark Capanni production is something else. And super-rare. I'd love to have one as it would fit nicely with the stuff I'm collecting these days....

I think fantastic in its own right - always need to play again as soon as it's finished :D "We'll go to Napoli, by cloud so you can see, the world I've created just for you..." wonderful

NB. interesting to see both versions used in the recent Nottingham Forest film 'I Believe in Miracles' - Jackson Sisters plays at various points throughout, then Mark Capanni at the end. Didn't think it was that well known - obviously someone had good taste :rofl:

I thought that Contempo was a legitimate label that paid for the rights to issue or re-issue material they hadn't produced themselves.  Am I wrong?  Did they actually press up and sell bootlegs?

Both the Jackson Sisters and Capanni versions are fantastic. Capanni did write the tune, but his version was released a full year after the Jackson Sisters 45 on Prophesy. 

I've read that the Polydor 45 features a slightly different mix of the tune compared to all other releases. I've never had the Polydor 45 so haven't compared them. Anyone else?

I was told the Polydor release had a bit more high-hat than the Prophesy/Mums releases.  The polydor release was on eBay a month or so and the seller said they compared it to the the Prophesy release and couldn't tell the difference.

Then it's probably just a case of slightly different mastering/processing when the Polydor stampers were manufactured.

This thread has brought to light something else to me as well. I never realised the Polydor release was a full 3 years after the initial Prophecy/Mums 1973 release, the Polydor is '76. I only have the UK release Demo, it does have the great b-side though. Nice record.

Hello Ivor.  Have had the UK demo forever.   Must have played the B side at some point - prob very quick.

Anyhow, this thread made me dig it out and REALLY listen to it.   Oh yes great.   As others have said on here also.

I'll get beat-up from Eddie if he see's this - keeps telling us all to play them (B sides)and LISTEN !

I'll need the comics down the back of trousers again me thinks.

Cheers.........................    Tom.
