Anthony White - Hey Baby & Never Let You Get Away From Me on PIR

Anyone got any idea which is the rarer of the two on issue?

Also Hey Baby had a demo but Never Let You Get Away From Me wasn't on the flip of the demo of Never Repay Your Love. But having said that I know Never Let You Get Away From Me was on the LP but was a minute shorter than the single version.

Have seen a few Hey Babys both demos and issues for sale over recent months but only one Never Let You Get Away From Me

Hi Richard, funny you should mention this John H was playing Hey baby last night when I popped in for a coffee. He might have some idea!

I've got both on issue but have not seen anything like as many "Nevers" as I have "Hey babys".

The demo of Hey Baby just went for $300 on E bay huh.gif

I've got both on issue but have not seen anything like as many "Nevers" as I have "Hey babys".

same here, I have them both on an issue, so I always kinda looked out how many "never let you.." are for sale, and I would agree, there seem to be more copies of "hey baby" around..

never let you get away.deffo harder.

my m8 got 2 mint copies,2 year ago(sold me 1 for £15,bargain).

took him ages to get copies.

he sold his copy on hear 4 £35 latley,still a bargain.

Sheer lunacy...

Well, he/she was from Japan smile.gif

Have been looking for one but ain't found one :lol: yet :yes:

Got a nice 12" reissue of Hey Baby with Jean Carn (I think) on the other side. I gave 20 quid for it about two months ago at Denton British Legion..Yeh i didn't believe it myself the next morning when i realised i hadn't bought a proper copy.. 20 notes for a reissue what is the world coming to, cos i already have it on LP anyway..Still two top tracks

Was it ever issued on a proper 12" ?

The LP with Hey baby, is a Epic/CBS/Philly promo comp with the another ex modern/northern biggie form the 80ts "All I want is my baby", just can't think of the girl artist who sang it, the other tracks are disco types. I must dig it out and check.

Cheers

The trouble with this track is it's too short both on the LP and 45. I have an acetate of it that runs to nearly 5 mins with Anthony ad libbing, roaring and screaming his way through the last two minutes......sadly most of you won't have heard it, cos it's a real treat. Dunno what they were doing cutting him off in his prime like that :lol:

Any chance of posting up sound clip of the extended version on here at all please Steve??

:lol: are you sure about this? sounds just like the version on my issue 45..can't recall it from the top off my head, but I'm pretty sure it's longer than 4 minutes..

will have to check later tonight at home..

best,

Stefan

Please do :thumbsup:

Please do :D

it's 4.35...surely must be the same version on all issue copies, no?

flip is never repay your love

D'oh, now I am going to have to dig out the acetate to see how long it is - I know it's longer than the 45.

As my mate Sepia said I just got rid of mine to Barry Waddington who had it on his site.

Seen a few more copies of- Yes your in love- recently yet thats supposed to be the rarest out of them all.

Never gonna get away from me is IMO sheer class!

What does anyone think its worth them?

"Never Gonna Get Away From Me" is a great philly-soul uptempo, with the exciting "Harris Machine" trade mark at the intro and Anthony's deep voice at his best. I only have this title and three others (the beautiful soulful ballad "Never Repay Your Love", "Stop & Think This Over" and some other) in teh 14 albums set box "The Philadelphia Story" (UK, Street Sounds). Also afriend of mine recorded for me a domestical cassette with Otis Redding's cover of "I Can't Turn You Loose" by Anthony White on Salsoul.

I hope someday can find the "It Could Be Magic" album and wonder about unissued PIR stuff (I read that he was working in a second LP for PIR before leave the label)

Didn't Gamble & Huff destroy much of what was unissued, alternate takes etc ??? So there isn't much to plunder.....unfortunately...

Hello,

When I saw these posts by Weldon A. McDougal III at Sixtiesdetroit web forum, I'm feel so glad about some day solo stuff by Sharon Paige can see the light... And there are (as you can see in the photos) much more PIR, TSOP and outside productions stuff unissued (Lola Falana included!!)
