is this the hidden track on the album

mark

No, Mark, it's on their Fantasy album, 1979, Mercury Records. Don't think it's hidden??

i have the album but one of the tracks is not listed it sort of starts right after another track if you know what i mean, think it is this one no mention of title on the track listing. mark

I'd nod me head at the bar!!

yep, many thanks from me as well, managed to get the Tavares, Notations, Heaven&Earth and 3 degrees, not bad..for someone who wanted to stop buying for a couple months

Hope I can contribute myself soon, but so far I haven't figured out how to insert the records into the CD burner of my laptop..they're too big

Hope I'll get beyond the technical problems before the thread is no longer on,

Best,

Stefan

ne mind sweetheart,,,,get it sorted for the next Thursday X-CROSSOVER session and look forward to hearing your records...Delxx

Picked up a copy of the " New Concepts...Give me another chance...Phillips " a few weeks ago , and think this track is top notch. Noticed on the credits its written by Jack Daniels and Johnny Moore, and has Jaden music on the credits too, another link to Johnny Moore. Does anyone have any background on this track, would be interested.........

I know it's all down to personal choice, & no offence to you Miff, but i think that's an awful rendition of a classic tune.

Should think it made Larry Blackmon want to put his Codpiece over his ears !

I read somewhere that Cameo originally recorded 'Find My Way' as the New York City Players, did it ever get a release as them ? anyone ?

Another under rated group.

Hello Roger,

I've been playing out this tune ocasionally, and always have good reaction in the dancefloor, absolutely fantastic one.

Is the first time I saw someone else talking about it , maybe is a very common Lp, and has the lack of beeing expensive or rare

Unfortunatelly I don't have the skill to put some files here

Hi Aitor, there's other gems like that tune on all their albums - 'I Leave You Stronger' on their Horizons album is an all time favourite of time, I'll put that one up on Thursday.

I read somewhere that Cameo originally recorded 'Find My Way' as the New York City Players, did it ever get a release as them ? anyone ?

I seem to recall when the record first got spins it was as by the Players on Chocolate City records. Then shortly afterwards copies appeared as by Cameo.

But I just found this piece of 'info' :

Formed in 1974, Cameo started out as a 13-member group created by former Juilliard student and New York-area clubgoer Larry Blackmon, called the New York City Players. Signed by Casablanca Records to their Chocolate City imprint in 1976, the group soon changed its name to Cameo. Cameo started with a deep, funky sound, but it was obvious from the start that their sights were set on the dance floors. Their first albums Cardiac Arrest, Ugly Ego, We All Know Who We Are and Secret Omen contained dance floor songs such as "I Just Want To Be" and "Find My Way," the latter which was a major disco smash and was included on the soundtrack to Thank God It's Friday.

Not having got a copy by the 'Players' I can't confirm the actual name on the record as to having the 'New York' as part of their name

So we still need some confirmation on this one

Anyone got a scan of the first 45 - were they promos only?

The 3 Degrees version was actually out several years before the Players version on Chocolate City.

Hey John,

I always believed it just said 'The Players' on the original 45 (no mention of New York).

I seem to recall some grief from Ohio Players management, hence the quick press name change.

My copy, though, does say "Cameo" as does yours. I also have a 12" somewhere (which I think came out some time later).

Hope you're well mate. Must catch up soon.

Thanks for the memories.

Didn't realise that Sean, always thought all Cameo's stuff was self pen'ed.

Still don't like it though

Must admit.. I prefer Cameo in this instance too!

And of course before that release it was done by The Tymes in 1969 on Columbia - (Mines on UK Direction)

Yes Sean - we must catch up... it's been a while now

How rare are the Players/New York City Players copies then Sean ?

Looks like Essence will be next chance. Unless you make it to Spondon? Think me and Kev are supposed to be on in the New Year?

Not heard the Tymes version. Stick it up here when you get a mo (save you doing me a CD ).

Take care mate.

Sean

How rare are the Players/New York City Players copies then Sean ?

I'd say very rare.

I dont have one... and if John Benson aint got one either I'd say they're almost extinct!

Sean

Be interested to hear the Tymes version, i've just had a scout around the various juke box sites but couldn't find one.

Just listeneng to thier version of 'The Way Of The Crowd' which was on Karen's (soulgirl) site, like that

99% sure was the players as well, as have a memory of sending off for it as the players and being suprised when turned up on doormat as cameo

the 12 inch has got to be the version that was featured in thank god its friday film and on the soundtrack lp a few years later, was suprised at time to hear it featured but suppose could have been something to do with simons soussans involvement in film

mike

Actually I haven't CD'd it yet - one of the many, but it's not a bad version.

I've had it since the early 80's, but coincidently Steve G reviewed it not all that long ago for In The Basement if I recall correctly

I'll try and make it a date for Spondon - sounds like my kinda 'do'

PS - 'The Way Of The Crowd' is on their "People" LP also on Columbia / UK Direction
