Which is 3000 x what John offered it to me for in the early 70s............and I turned it down! There couldn't possibly be a rare Sussex record could there? You could build houses with the amount of Sussex records that were in the UK at the time..........:) Ian D Edited September 14, 2016 by Ian Dewhirst Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Frankie Crocker Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 1 hour ago, Mike Lofthouse said: It always struck me as an unfinished song and performed like a demo with the intention of writing a suitable chorus but they forgot to do so, probably that's why they binned it. I don't think it would of set the world on fire in the US if it had been released at the time. An interesting point Mike. The La La La-ing gives the impression of improvisation and something lacking. That said, the backing singers have rehearsed thoroughly and are in sync with the string arrangements. I suspect it sounded good in the studio, but once the demo's were cut, someone said it lacked oomph, would not sell and therefore the release be canned. I think it has a touch of class, sublime tempo, clear lead and backing vocals, great orchestration but flawed by the La La La-ing that aims to give a sense of happiness but sounds like filler when you analyse it intently. But give me a flawed track over a poppy chart-topper anyday. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If it wasn't for the accident of its rarity it would surely have been consigned to the league of so-so 70s records. I'm with you. second-rate record.

I've always considered this to be a pretty average record - nice, but not one I'd ever want even if I could afford it lol. I would like a box full of pretty average records like this!!! I think it's well above average. It's got a lot of Class! It oozes quality!!! Edited September 21, 2016 by Guest Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
