What's Yer Fave Tune By The Precisions?

Posted

Ok, here we have a phenomonal band who have made some seriously soulful stuff, i like pretty much everything they've done including the B-sides but if you had to cchoose yer fave what would it be?

I'm gonna settle for 'Why girl'!

Amazing intro, superb lyrics, great dancer!

What's yours?

great choice simon,i go for "such misery" which to me still sounds great after all these years also "if this is love" a great tune and it only sells for about a tenner on drew plus i think it was issued in the uk on a track 45...soulie55... :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

DREAM GIRL FOR ME TOO!! :thumbsup:

"I wanna tell my baby" :thumbsup:

What Would You Do on Wild.

I think that (Send me a sign) would be my choice as best track.

think we had a debate a while back on the merits of such misery vs woman lover thief, didn't we?

I love both versions. incidentally, is the drew original of SM rare these days?

ARE WE ALL ON THE SAME PRECISIONS HERE? 5 OR WAS IT SIX DIFFERENT GROUPS,PHILLY,NEW YORK,BOSTON,DETROIT ETC.

BAZ A :thumbsup:

DREAM GIRL FOR ME TOO!! :thumbsup:

Dont forget the great flip to this "Instant heartbreak (just add tears)" Great double sider and really cheap too.

ive got an acetate of "instant heartbreak" which is a good 5rpm slower than the released version (dream girl is the same as released)..i wonder if thats how it was recorded....and it was speeded up for the Drew issue...... :thumbsup:

What I Want. Without a doubt their best tune period!

Tough one to call...

Great Jerry "Swamp Dogg" Williams produced dancer "New York City" on Atco , must have been recorded by the Precisions 'bout 68 or 69 after the Drew label folded.

Surely not the "same" Precisions. This group on Wild were a Boston band, f I remember correc tly.

Different group entirely.

For me it's between "If this is love" for it's sheer energy and "Such Misery".

"Sugar ain't sweet" just doesn't do it for me.

great tune... :lol:

..."Such Misery". Such brilliance....

I don't know if the Atco lot is the same Precisions but if they are, I also really like an unissued track from their Atco session, "I Kissed Her Face" (also recorded by its composer, Swamp Dogg...) and not just because it's unissued and therefore unknown to most people. It's a ballad, BTW...

Most of the Detroit Precisions is top notch, especially What I want!!

Of the other Precisions the group on Hen Mar - My Sense Of Direction is fantastic!!!!
