LINDA GRINER..

GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD..GOODBYE CRUEL LOVE.

MOTOWN.

I know it was available on the rarer demo titled 'world' and i recently (finally)bought a 'love' issue. I have always listened to it from Chris Kings Northern Motown cd from 1997 which seems to be a slower take to my vinyl issue. Im sure when ive heard it played out it was slower..So..is it pesky pitchin or were there 2 takes for demo and issue.. or am i just going mad!! (maybe bit too late on that) cheers nick. (jb.. mr motown..need your help mate)

Can't imagine anyone pitching it down!I know when I have played it out, I have pitched it up, slightly, as it seems to drag, when played out! I had the 'map' WD.

So the demo 'world' is a slower take to the issue 'love' then.

Lyn Romans father had the surname Griner did she change her name to avoid a "name clash" or are they one & the same ? Can't for one moment imagine that they are but at the same time you can't help wondering ?

I am pretty sure they are one & the same person.........i quite enjoy her Brunswick stuff.

NICK , I HAVE A ISSUE OF "LOVE " .....I MEETING UP WITH PETE GRIFFIN TOMORROW SO WILL PLAY HIS DEMO UN MY ISSUE SEE IF THERE THE SAME

BEST STEVE T

remember those white labels she autographed on the bus?

Very interesting & informative interview with Linda Griner in this months Manifesto magazine.

Says she didn't even know of the existence of the Goodbye Cruel World copys.

Must have only been a kid when she recorded it judging by the recent pictures of her.

Cheers Steve..LOVE Demo v LOVE Issue speed & take hopefully the same. Any World owners confirm slower take and end my madness..I had a World Demo (very briefly..) a few years ago and sure it was slower like the cd.
