Never was a dancer ,that's why SIDS to my mind is From a musical superiority streets  Ahead 🎶🎶🎶👌

Yep, Sidney's version is very nice although to be honest the rhythm plods along to some degree and sounds as though Leiber & Stoller left the sound microphones for the instruments in the laundry while the orchestra played in the room next door ... whereas Jerry Cook is right upfront and  just hits you in the face from the very first note and demands that you move your feet as fast as they can take you.

Matter of fact, if someone asked  "name one record that epitomises the (60's) northern soul sound" , I'd have no problem at all if they put forward Jerry Cook's record. It really stands right up there as one of the greatest dancers to ever hit the scene.

Both are great but my slight preference  is for Sidney Barnes -  I really don't get the disparaging remarks aired regarding his vocals - he sings it perfectly in my book. Pretty baffling.  As an aside I also think Standing On Solid Ground is a pretty decent record. :thumbsup:

A weekly which version poll..

a revived topic brought this one up

all you need to do is just select the version of these two that you enjoy the most!

this one

Sidney Barnes - I Hurt On The Other Side

or Jerry Cook

Jerry Cook - I Hurt On The Other Side

as  always feel free to expand, explain, educate etc etc via replies below!

 

 

I can't believe Sidney is in the lead.  The next thing you'll find is Leicester winning the Premier league!!!  You live and learn.  For me no contest Jerry by a country mile.

The people who were there at The Wheel ,The Cats and The Torch when Jerry was first played I'm pretty sure would have thought there's no competition, Sidney appeals more to the smoother end Mecca etc. and pails into significance.

Which prompts the thought that maybe in the earliest days of the scene, the Sidney Barnes record was in fact known and possibly played  a  few times but then discarded as not quite making the grade and then Jerry Cook was discovered and the rest as they say is history ...

I originally found Jerry Cook along with Robert Banks  in 69 bought them  blind because of the name cook and Banks for 2/6d each. Sidney Barnes was not discovered untill late 72 I think by that time Jerry was more of a oldie and obviously DJs wanted to play more new discoveries.

One gets the feeling that the last few commenters are trying to suggest that those that voted for Sid did so because they're either old, know nothing about the rarity of records, weren't around in the old days and that you know for a fact that Jerry Cook is the better record. All of which is absolute cobblers.

In my opinion Sidney is the more soulful of the two - that's it. You can try and intelectulise it till the cows come home but you won't change my mind. :thumbup:

I've been into soul since 1963 was born in 1951 rarity of records doesn't come into it we are judging the best version of a tune so being an anorack doesn't matter in the judgement I was into it before the old days and Jerry Cooks version knocks the cobblers of Sid,s and I've been a DJ and a dancer so you won't change my mind Sid,s version is a mediocre NS sound Jerry,s hits you right between the eyes

no offence meant

peace on earth

Yum Yums all day. The under produced, raw, girly vocals are something quite special. If anyone disagrees I'll fight em for it! :wicked:

Pete

:thumbup:

My favourite record of all time.

Yum Yums I mean.

By the way, if anyone has the Sapphires version, flip it over, the B side is sensational, "You'll never stop me from loving you".

I didn't vote in this current poll because I don't like either version or the song itself.

Ay up Smiffy.

I hope all is well mate. I knew you would agree on the Yum Yums - raw, naive but absolutely beautiful record. The vocals and lyrics are sublime. One I always forget when talking about favourite records - but its definitely one of mine.

Pete
