"you Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies"

Posted

Just spent the afternoon in a record store basement and found quite a lot of nice 45s and LPs (mostly swedish freakbeat/garage/mod type stuff) and amongst the stack of records I brought home was an obscure 4-track gold flexi disc by swedish band Ola & The Janglers. It features a storming version of "You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies" that I thought some of you might like to hear. I've known about it for ages, but it's proven quite hard to track down (especially in playable condition considering that it's a flimsy flexi disc and almost 40 years old!). This is the Dana Valery/Simon & Garfunkel classic given the same kind of 60s freakbeat treatment as The Purple Hearts did on their take of Jimmy Fraser's "Of Hopes And Dreams And Tombstones". I'm not saying that this is "soulful" or should be played in a northern soul setting, probably best to point that out... rolleyes.gif:rolleyes:

For all you swedes, that's "Clabbe" (yowza! yowza!) at the top right in the second picture... Ola Haakansson who was in this group formed the band Secret Service in the late 70s and scored a european/south american hit with "Oh Suzie"... and then in the 90s he started the independent record label which released The Cardigans hit records ("Lovefool" etc.). The lot of them turned out to be music biz people...

I remember Steve Ceasar buying a Columbia issue of "Intrest" with the artist name scratched off, got it home and guess what? Yep it was Simon & Garfunkel, thank god for portable players thumbsup.gif , btw it was only £3 which should have set alarm bells ringing.

The Australian only release of "You Don't Where Your Interest Lies" by Fia Karin on the Spin label remains the best "northern" style version of the tune (IMHO) and is very rare too , Aussie collectors will confirm that ...

Anyone care to post a clip of the Fia Karin version ? ...

Thanks for all the information must now go and look for some of this stuff.

Wouldnt mind a purple hearts if anybody as one for sale,and this version of YDKWYIL his cool.........one of these too!! :unsure:

cool version, nice one. just a brilliant song I think. Was the '5 and a penny' version tailor made for the northern soul market?

No, I don't think so. Someone should have been hung for playing it though...

Make me an offer (cash or trades), but as I wrote, it's a HARD record to find.

Not that it really matters, but the Purple Hearts 45 is easily £100+ (in-demand by garage rock / freakbeat collectors as well). I wouldn't mind keeping the Ola & The Janglers in my collection, but as I said, if you want to have it make me an offer in cash or trades and I'll think about it. :unsure:

My mate paid £40 on the internet for purple hearts,i`ll hold out for the same.

I would say £20 for YDKWYIL,and that would be absolute max!!but £15 i would be well happy :thumbsup:

Ok, fair enough. Think I'll keep the Ola & The Janglers and put it on eBay at a later date. Thanks for the offer though. :thumbsup:

No, it was just a standard release on Polydor in the UK in 1968 years before it was played at Wigan.

I had a bit of contact with the singer from Five & A Penny a few years back.  She probably read a review I did of their record and wanted to ask me why I thought it was "utter shite"  :lol:  I think she said they were still performing etc etc...can't remember now

My Fia Karin has that same sample sticker too !! but not the "new cut" words !

That offer for the Purple Hears was laughably low even then, RIP Lobby Loyde, he died a few months after these old posts were made.
