Two great timeless tunes I used to play out regularly what a voice Harry Starr had always played If this is Goodbye normal speed usually to finish my set or Another Place Another Time, Proper big productions

HI Hooker , i think it good too , just the speed thing put me off buying copy

It’s a fabulous record, it doesn’t need messing about with.

If the producer , arranger , writer , engineer , band arrived at a finished product to be pressed then why would you think you know better ... ?

I used to have similar discussions when 'graphic equalisers' were all the rage and all of a sudden everyone was a sound engineer , generally a deaf one at that ...

Totally agree.. play the record at the speed it was produced and pressed for playing 👌

Does anyone here know Harry Starr's real family name? Other than his release on End Records and his group's IPG record, what other releases did he have?

He was married to Eloise Pennington of the spellbinders.

As far as I’m aware they are the only two releases he had. There is an unissued recording that surfaced on the End story CD compilation that came out some years ago.

Harry Star on IPG sounds ok to me at the correct speed, but some records do sound better slowed down or faster.

For instance, I have the, not very good, Ray Dahrouge Polydor 1979 version of The Anderson Brothers classic "I Can See Him Making Love To You". I think it does improve it when slowed down by -6 revs. I can almost enjoy it!

But singers rarely just were in the music business for only a couple recordings. As he was married to a member of The Spellbinders, maybe, in addition to his 2 releases as a solo artist, he was also a member of a group for at least a short while. Given he had such a good voice, I find it difficult to believe that he wasn't in the business longer than that short window.

I don't know of anything else he did, just the five tracks. Both 45s we know about did nothing, maybe he realised he wasn't going to make it and took normal work?

I tried to get Elouise to talk about him but she wouldn't. He wasn't a nice person by all accounts.
