Hi Loll,

It was issued with and without strings - with strings, on the original US and UK 45s. Without - and completely by accident - on one of Ady's Kent CDs of Chess material.

There's also the Montanas originally unissued UK version, which they recorded for Pye and which I mixed down from the original mastertapes (as both a vocal and instrumental) with Nick Smith, and issued on a Sequel CD back in 1998.

That's probably enough holding on for now....

Thanks for the info.

Loll

can´t listen to it right now, but as far as i remember the 2 versions also have different backing vocals, one is like a male choir and the other one is singing very high-pitched, which i like a lot more...

greetz,
