Some of you will have heard this before but if you haven't, please please please listen, not so much to the record - which is in fact a tremendous version of Otis redding's "Security" - but to the singer. If you didn't know that this wasn't the person it sounds like, you wouldn't believe it. I know that sounds confusing but have a listen and see what I mean. It's definitely not who it sounds like.

First, Raven joined the Mike Leander Show Band in early 1965. Then he was deputised to produce a few recording sessions by such artists as Thane Russell and a Scottish beat group, the Poets. Finally, after Leander's band fell apart, Raven formed Boston International with saxophonist John Rossall, and this group spent the following five years touring between the UK and Germany and recording occasionally

Well I was about to say what a load of rubbish but it's there for all to see on the label..I knew he did the Poets Immediate 45 though, used to have it

The singer is Doug Gibbons who was an associate of the Rolling Stones and apparently in Australia where this track was popular there was much speculation that the vocalist was Mick Jagger. There is also speculation that Jimmy Page played on the track whilst the Outsiders, Doug Gibbons' band, recorded two Jimmy Page compositions for Decca, again apparently with the participation of Page.

Just played it and straight away thought it sound's like Mick Jagger...

Absolute dynamite version! Sounds superb over a big sound system. Wouldn't mind a copy of the 45 myself.
