Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 There's a much rarer pressing of it on State - the first issue, with the group name shown as "Rumours". They changed it because Fleetwood Mac issued their LP of that name at virtually the same time... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve Plumb Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yes Baz, their version of "It only happens" on State is nice. Jordi Isn't that the original version Jordi? Sure Tony R will know? Cheers Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jordirip Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Isn't that the original version Jordi? Sure Tony R will know? Cheers Steve I have a feeling it might be Steve, a check on the writers might be a clue but I can't look as I'm at work. Interestingly I used to play in a band with a brilliant bass player, and his uncle used to be in Delegation back in the 70's. Jordi Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jordi Dene/Gold isn't it? used to write for Delegation & other Brit groups, that's why I assumed it was the original and promptly pulled when Aretha & Jackie wanted to record it! Uncle Tony will sort us out I'm sure As has been mentioned they are a good little group and of course their 'One more step to take' still gets plenty of spins on the Modern scene! Would loved to have seen you on them bongos mate - bet you had a little goatee and looked as cool as f**k Cheers Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
bri pinch Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Dene/Gold isn't it? IT ONLY HAPPENS/THE PROMISE OF LOVE IS A GREAT DOUBLE SIDER, QUITE LIKE BABY, YOURE MY MYSTERY T'OTHER SIDE OF YOU'VE BEEN DOING ME WRONG ANORL . BRI PINCH. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Would loved to have seen you on them bongos mate - bet you had a little goatee and looked as cool as f**k Cheers Steve I have a feeling that Jackie W. might actually have recorded "Happens" first, as he'd already been in his coma for around a year before Rumours/Delegation released their version. But theirs does have a simple, demo-like quality (and only the lead singer appears on it, from memory) so it might have been the demo for Jackie that just got slung onto the B side of "The Promise Of Love" to save recording another track! Really love Delegation - they would have been so much bigger, had they not existed in the shadow of the Real Thing. None of their records are valuable, but "Where Is The Love We Used To Know" is one of the best UK soul records ever, And possibly even better than that is "Oh Honey" - as any collector of Low Rider Soul will know! Ken Gold and Mickey Denne was/is a great songwriting team, too. Very underrated... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

phatspinner Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 While we're on the subject. Does anyone know how JW came to record the UK song, it doesn't seem to fit in with the other material he recorded which was sourced from the regular writers in Chicago ? Also I have a Spanish copy on zaforo, the other side is a ballad, "Where is love by Sonny Sanders and others yet the picture sleeve states "Nobody but you" It must be the right cover because the numbers match up. Can anyone shed any light on this? I take it it was issued in US? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Djmelismo Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Didn´t see this thread until now. Interestingly, today I listened to several Delegation 45s and LPs + the Denne & Gold album on which they do their own versions of some of those hits. Will perhaps post a clip tomorrow from that Denne & Gold LP, there was one track in particular that I really liked.

JACKIE RECORDED IT ONLY HAPPENS, FOR HIS FINAL LP NOBODY BUT YOU IN 1975, ALSO ON THIS LP IS ANOTHER GOLD/DEENE SONG THE SUBLIME, YOUR THE SONG THAT I CANT STOP SINGING(HIS GREATEST RECORDING, IMHO). REFERENCE THE SPANISH ZAFIRO COPY, IT HAS AN IDENTICAL PIC COVER TO THE USA COPY OF THE NOBODY BUT YOU LP. IT ONLY HAPPENS NEVER CAME OUT IN THE USA ON 45. BRI PINCH.
