Swifty Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Originally it was the Moments for me but it's a little flat compared to Chuck's version imho , don't like Spooky & Sue version though. So it's Chuck for me Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Only one winner. Mr Jackson if ya don`t mind! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Len Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 The Moments for me, but really to do with 'association' of memories of Jon Buck playing it at The Fleet Peterborough at my first All-nighters. Chuck Jackson great I know. All the best, Len Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ian Parker Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I sold the SHARP album a few years back,. Used to play it all at one time, love The Moments take, but Chuck does it for me , I saw him sing it live at Nottm Sherwood Rooms, so it has a special place. Spooky n Sue is quite nauseous to me Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve Foran Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I got the Moments LP as a new release from a girl I was seeing from Kettering for my birthday. Still got it and my preferred version. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave Moore Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I love em all but voted for Mr Jackson. His vocal gymnastics just shaded it for me. Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Girdwoodinc Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Are the two votes for Spooky and Sue by Spooky and Sue? 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I think they're all good. Voted for Moments as it's the original and first one I heard. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul16 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Spooky and Sue was the first version I heard, via a muffled sounding bootleg back in the 70's. For me though, I think that the Chuck Jackson version is the best. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I do tend to trust my ears before anything where in the past I use to give the credits-bility to the "pioneers". Only I dropped out of that "authentic" collector point of ear and rely on my first impression mainly. And I am always curious as glad to hear versions I am not aware off and so forth. But on this example tho whole song (production-wise and in vocal variations) Sp&Su still works better to my ears. I love Chuck, but to me the "echoey" just drawn down the song and the moments is kind of synthetic and "flat" to leave me dubious. Sp&Su is kitsch in my book and I do appreciate that still from time to time... Edited November 16, 2017 by tlscapital 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tomangoes Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Cleggy sounds from S n S, but chuck means it the most. Similar story to Tomangoes.....Husband missing his wife etc. Best follow up record, Shane Martin - I need you! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Kenb Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Chuck’s is like drinking honey with a touch of brandy. Golden and powerful. The Moments is like drinking chocolate. Smooth and rich. Spooky & Sue’s is like drinking champagne with a splash of vodka. Refreshing and tingling. today...Spooky & Sue get my vote. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Diamond1 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 The Moments for me. Used to play the Sharp album in the 70s . Another great track on the album Beautiful Woman. Des. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soul Shrews Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Au contraire if its a different mix if only slightly (and I am not convinced yet) then its not the same backing. Ooo la la Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ooo la la Paul In the audio intellectual chosen few circles it is the concienscius that when using the same tape of an instrumental backing track, no matter how reworked, it is acknowledge it to be the "same" backing track. But in the slumbs of the Bourgeois Paul le Shrews such fine understanding in distinction of mixes using the same backing track indulge mental stress and confusion. Accordingly it helps the poor soul to simmer down with the belief it to be not the same backing track due a rework of the mix. There is alway an educative, rational scientific explanation to everything. Voilà ! LOL Edited November 17, 2017 by tlscapital 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul Shrews Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Must admit I hadn"t played the Moments for about 15 years or so (untill 10 mins ago when I saw the reply, but only on YT so not the best sound for me) but have played Spooky & Sues often to check condition before selliing. Still not convinced its the same backing. But I have been surprised before like when I found out Sue was Sue Chaloner Cheers Paul 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest woolie mark Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Chuck Jackson for me, because you get his fantastic version of Beautiful Woman on the other side of a 7" single. Hang on a minute though.....isn't this a disco record? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
