I'm positive that the Compass 45 is a legitimate first US issue.

That would be their version of 'Love Slipped Through My Fingers' LP only, never issued on a single.

'You dont mean it' on Compass is legit, fairly sure that they played the backing to Towanda Barnes version on A&M

It was the first version that I bought back in the mid seventies, as the Towanda Barnes one was the popular and harder to find one at the time, I prefer the Ohio Players version and have played it out a few times.

Their version of 'Love Slipped Through My Fingers' is nice, but the quality of the recording is not too good.

Play it without fear

Martyn

Agree with you Martin,i prefer the more soulful and original by the Ohio Players on Compass.Played it out a few times,great tune.

Oh no it wasnt (panto season sorry Earnie)

So was it an acetate, and what was the sound quality like ?

Reason I ask about the quality is I always remember the LP (or even CD version?) sounded pretty poor.

Martyn

I can remember this being on the Global wholesale list @ 75p a copy in the early 70's, so there's loads of 'em out there somewhere..........

And why are the horns so off-key on the Towanda Barnes version? Must have been a quickie session or something......
