Can't tell who your replying to. If it's my comment, well I am real and I said it's a nice version - not better. I just think it's a nice version and the fact that it's rare is a bonus. It'd still be a nice version if it was a tenner. Are you seriously saying it sounds like Muriel Day though? :wicked:

Godz

Ignore them Mark, it's a great version. Any chance of a scan please?

Godz

...my back is broad...can't scan the label lads - my house is upside-down for the moment due to buliding work - if anybody wants to have a closer look, I'll have it in my sales box @ Soul Revolution tmrw tho?

Nice to have caused a bit of friendly debate tho...

Agreed Ken.

What on earth is it about this record that's causing people to be rude to strangers, use "angry face" emoticons and so on?

Strange.

Godz

Twas only a bit of banter and my angry face is no worse that you're avitar Mr Zilla

WHATS BAD ABOUT THE RECORD ? VOCALS? ORCHESTRATION? PRODUCTION? NOT ORIGINAL VERSION?

THERE OFTEN SEEMS TO BE SOME CONFUSION IN DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN GOOD OR BAD WHEN WHAT IS REALLY MEANT IS LIKE/DISLIKE/NOT TO MY TASTE ETC

I LIKE BOTH VERSIONS

ALSO THINK ITS IN BAD FORM TO RUBBISH A RECORD THAT A FELLOW SOURCER HAS UP FOR SALE-- WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCEPTABLE IN THE LOOK AT YOUR BOX FORUM

SO THERE

I remember when this was first played and not a bad version at all......Its a very special record that can out-do an orginal cut on anything in my view..

I prefer the Velvelettes but as I said this isnt bad.

:thumbsup: - I'm cute!............... :yes:

Or so Mrs G tells me anyway. Mind you she says I ain't put much weight on too...

I remember when this was first played ...

When was that Mel? I remember someone (Sam?) playing it in the late 70s, probably at Wakefield Unity if memory serves.

I think it was around '77 mate

If Im wrong someone will tell us.... :thumbsup:

Cheers Mel :yes: Was it Sam? or were a few people playing it?

I've just remembered that I had a record with a blank label that I stuck a Letraset Action Transfer of a blue shark on and stuck it in my sales box for a laugh. Loads of people were like "is that the blue sharks - how much?"

What an idiot I used to be laugh.gif

Godz

I cant remember who actually first spun it Godzilla

sorry mate

at the time I was frequenting the casino and Samanthas as well as other all-nighters.So it could of been anyone at that time......sorry I couldnt be of more help to ya.....too many red n browns mate :thumbsup:

mel

LOL........ :thumbsup:

Just who were THE BLUE SHARKS?

this was one of Soul Sams aberrations..about 75/76......he got a fair bit of stick for it as i remember...popular on the dancefloor but not with the record bars......it was crap then and its crap now...imo........ :thumbsup:

Wow - I never realised this 45 was such so contentious!! Thx for all of yr contributions folks - this one is now sold and many thx to everybody for having a lively debate on this...

Best...MRez

PS - Is it really THAT bad a version? My God! I've heard a lot worse tracks played @ Soul do's... :yes:
