the stateside issue is a different recording I think. Live I think and not as good

Isn't the HMV / ABC recording taken from a live album Mik? I'm sure it sounded like a club recording with an organ trio backing or something like.

I'm not 100% but I think that the Stateside one is taken off the live LP. The HMV / ABC / Sparton issue is a different studio recording of the track with the same band (the Bobby Bryant quintet) and doesn't appear on an LP. I'm sure it's the ABC / HMV one that you want.

Cheers for the info, Mik Would like to hear the live cut out of curiosity.

Now, anyone on here able to help out with an HMV / ABC / Sparton copy?

USA version is not live, and its the best version of this by anybody I recon... never heard the LP versions but assume the live one would not have the punch of the studio recording, sticking with my yank Issue I recon..

Hi,

Great record! In demand in Spain... The number of the ABC issue is 10841. Not an expensive record. I paid for my copy about $ 20 a year ago...

Hipe that helps

Oh Yes, been after this one for a few years without trying to hard (obviously).

My DJ partner David Hulston used to drop "Solitary Woman" at our new release/rare groove night back in the 90s. Strange choice, given the nature of this awesome moody and mean 60s left fielder, but always worked for me.

So if anyones got a spare, let me know. It does'nt seem easy to obtain.
