As mentioned above, I think the A-Side is 'I Call It Love' another 70's reworking, cracking double sider. Value? I paid £50 8 months ago.

Also worth looking for 'Just Be Yourself', i think similar kinda value.

Yep 50 Would be a great price, filled the floor in Sleepless nights in Dublin last time i played there.. Was surprised to find that this was so cheap!..

And just to complicate things there's a 60's version of Pretenders "I call it love" with another flipside, "Feelin' good" on Carnival 550. Not at all as good as the 70's version IMO :thumbsup: , which is Carnival 560 and a super double sider at £50.

I think the 60s pretenders version is fantastic. There's a similar, lo-fi sounding version by a group called the Tempos on the Orivious label.

Same here Mark, didnt know the 'Its everything about you' side until i got the 45 and just loved it from first listen..

Actually bought the 6ts version before that thinking that this was the correct record and wasnt too happy when that one arrived, though its quite nice and the flip feelin good is a great instrumental, there is also a vocal to 'Feelin good' by the carnival kings isnt there.. cant remember the name now...

Different strokes for different folks I suppose. I'm more into 70's atm... :thumbsup:

I could be wrong! :thumbsup:

I first heard The Pretenders later version at The first Soul Essence weekender in 93 but have been told it was popular before then.Great 45 I prefer it to Lee Shot Williams

value wise, The Pretenders is nearer to £100 than £50 I'm afraid....

Lee Williams is about £50

My friend just bought it for £60, there was one on Paul Capon's list I believe for roughly the same, one went unsold on ebay not long ago with starting bid $100, a couple of others on ebay went for about $100 recently. One apparently sold on here for £50. I rest my case.

I'm sure you're right!

Mine cost £20 early last year, but it was def selling around £100 when a friend wanted/bought a copy a few months later!

Vocal to Carnival Kings "Feelin' Good".....is Manhattans..."all i need is your love" also on Carnival.....real good 45........ :thumbsup:

I stand corrected I have no excuse other than I have been playing "It aint me no more" on Tchula this afternoon not thinking wont happen again officer :thumbsup:

Yes 'It's Everything About You' was played quite a bit out and about circa '86-ish. That side got the spins rather than 'I Call It Love'
