Sorry, I should have said it's on a various artists thing a bit like the California Raisons thing I'll get it recorded so you can listen, I really like it as a cover version Just now, Kenb said: do you mean The Sugar Lumps on Uptown 'Won't You Help Me'? are they on LP somewhere? It's UK and a made up name and please be patient with me as I am trying to research it Edited August 29, 2019 by Blackpoolsoul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Is Sugar Lumps the group or the name of the compilation? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dylan Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) From Wikipedia A cover version was recorded by Aretha Franklin's sister Erma Franklin in 1970 as the B-side to a pair of Jackie Wilson songs (A-side: Whispers (Gettin' Louder)) and was part of a 1986 NME Northern soulcompilation cassette, Feet Start Dancing. is it this one or another ?

I can 100% assure you it's different version from a sort of novelty LP There is also a very very nice version of Sweet Illusion (Junior Campbell) 22 minutes ago, Chalky said: Is Sugar Lumps the group or the name of the compilation?

Blackpoolsoul Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Re-mixing time in study is booked for 13th September and will have cuts of the 2 tunes ready around the 20th so will let everyone have a listen Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Woodbutcher Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 There are half a dozen or so different "unknown artist" LP's from that time that contain anonymous covers of the track in question , guess it could be from any one of them , shan't list them all as they're easy enough to find on Discogs. Would be interesting to know who some of the cover artists were though , they can't all have been unknown singers. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Believe me there is no way of finding out or I would have done, they must have been called in to perform these tunes and were NEVER credited and this LP never has been on Discogs Edited August 30, 2019 by Blackpoolsoul 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Blackpoolsoul Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Right here we go, chopped for obvious reasons Will be interested on thoughts, as like every other record it will be marmite (I believe it is possible that other yeast extracts may be available) The sweetest finale.mp3 Edited September 19, 2019 by Blackpoolsoul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Stillsoulin Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 just another cover, not enough soul for my ears, sorry Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tomangoes Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Never knowingly heard that version. A bit karaoke ish. For me nobody has done a better version than JW of his own songs, but I will say his versions of others songs have not all ways been the best. IGTSF is top drawer stuff from JW.

Thinksmart Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Never heard the Chants version out and not compiled but had the wonderful 'I Don't need Your Love' on 7" demo. I adore that song. Someone doesn't like JW. Gosh! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
