Sebastian Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 Rivingtons - Years Of Tears - VEE-JAY - good harmonies Glad you liked it. Frank Polk recorded the original version of it on one of his Capitol 45s. A much "deeper" take on the tune and probably the preferable one to my ears (if I have to choose, which I thankfuly don't ). Here's an RA of Frank Polk as well: Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

"I Love You Always" is the preferable side IMO although both are fantastic. Recent copies on eBay have been selling for $50-$65-ish... I.e. £20-£35-ish I guess. Have never seen a vinyl copy, only styrene demos and issues. Has anyone got a vinyl one? Wanna sell it? Edited March 18, 2005 by Sebastian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I need a vinyl copy first! They do exist, I recently saw one 'in the flesh', but still need one. I will pay £40 for a M/M- VINYL copy of the Rivingtons on Vee Jay. Yet another superb track introduced and popularized(?) in this country (Sweden) by me. The Frank Polk version is quite weak in comparison IMO, he's a good singer, but still an inferior version, at least for northern purposes. Rivingtons "Years Of Tears" is better than many £1000+ group sounds IMO. Has it ever been played anywhere in the past?

Sebastian Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 (edited) Wonderful stuff mate!, methinks you are very influenced by southern soul, Atlantic/Stax yes? link What else is there? Nah, just kidding. Yes, I'm very into gritty r&b/soul that leans heavily towards the rock'n'roll side of things. I like my soul/r&b with an edge. Saying that, I also love plenty of non-gritty soul as well... Ahhh! I love it all. I'm glad you liked my selection!

The Frank Polk version is quite weak in comparison IMO, he's a good singer, but still an inferior version, at least for northern purposes. You sure introduced me at least to "Years Of Tears". I only knew that 45 for the flipside earlier. 2 good sides made me splash out £20 on it quite soon after I found out about it. The Frank Polk version is better than Rivingtons IMO, what does it matter whether it's any good for "northern purposes"?

Sebastian Posted March 27, 2005 Author Share Posted March 27, 2005 (edited) *Eh? It matters a lot, at least to me. I also think the Rivingtons is a much better tune regardless, better put together and more flowing, simply better in every way. Frank Polk is good soul, but nothing special really whereas the Rivingtons is a real standout tune with an identity of it's own. I think that tunes that are good for northern are usually much better than tunes that are not. I listen with my feet I guess (and that is probably why my taste is so peculiar ). Apart from good deep and 'general soul', I usually dismiss records if they have the wrong beat, too messy, or if there is something else 'wrong' with them, if they are wrong they are simply not right for me. I can't stand mud music and 'rock n soul' for instance. I disagree with you on everything you wrote above. But you knew that... To me there is no such thing as a "wrong" dance beat. Just people who don't know how to move to music that doesn't come with a 4/4 thump thump thump thump beat.
