Guest johnny hart Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi , Browsing through R ,N,Soul site (all 36 plus pages) Happened on this Instrumental Steve Lee have it on an acetate/Semi as by 4 Seasons with drummer? At about £35. Being a fan of crazy instros,sort out a convincing looking copy on discogs as by Wendall Parker& Cape Ann Kings on Carnival7 liable at £350. ,whoops £3. 50. Sounds like across between ,Lord Thunder and "You,ve Been Away". What's the Real Story? Many Thanks Johnny . Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Andy Rix Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) My memory says this was first played by Nev Wherry as The Tartans - Loose Your Feet .... and then revealed as Wendall Parker - My Love's On Ration (Capricorn 7) ... but it was all a scam as it was just the band track to the 4 Seasons - Watch The Flowers Grow ... which had been 'mixed' from the stereo LP version where the instruments were essentially on one channel and the vocals on the other ... I'm pretty sure if you listen to the 7" of Wendall Parker you can just hear the vocals of Frankie Valli ... so it was never a real record, if you get my meaning Andy Edited January 25, 2017 by Andy Rix 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Exactly Andy Rix, and the flip was the instrumental to the Four Seasons 'Dawn (Go Away)' Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Paul R Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I keep meaning to ask the same question. I didn't recognise the A side, but the B side was definitely "Dawn". I didn't know if it was a legit release or not. Thanks for the info. Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest johnny hart Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Many thanks to Andy , PR and SS, Have checked out the "Flowers" track from 4 seasons double LP 29 Hits of Gold and it is the band track is the same all be it accelerated a few percent . And yes Francis Castellucio is chirping away in the far distant as Alvin of the Chipmunks,on the Capricorn 7 mix, I shall further my madness by purchasing the 1967 single of 4Seasons " Watch The Flowers Grow"for 83p,off which I will now do .(its on Discogs) LOL Johnny,Malaga ,Espana.

Ian Dewhirst Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Who pressed this up then? I actually found a copy somewhere and thought it was a real record albeit slightly oddish...... Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Paul R Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I know I bought my copy in the late 80s off Dave Banks. Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
