Did this get a 45 release?

I think its his best tune. Does it get plays on the Northern scene?

Ive never heard it out. White Soul doesnt get much better. Nice re-edit of it down a couple of years ago.

Geez I've got at least 3 copies of this 45 sitting around at home. I've heart the timebox version quite often and the four seasons once, but not spun by a northern DJ.

I've played it out at a few 6ts dos in Brighton Andy, can play it at the next Globe if you'd like to hear it.

Should be able to pick a copy up for about a fiver on Phillips 45.

Not too sure you'll get one for a fiver at the mo,unless you find one that slips under the radar.

Seen a few on ebay lately with a few chasers ,usually around the £25- £30 mark

Amazing how when someone releases a version in the charts ,how people rush out to re-activate the old one's

Whoever has done that new version thats in the charts has crucified the song. Its sacrilege I tell you!

Think Frankie Valli may have got more spins if it were not for Timebox. That is or was the played northern one ...

Look forward to seeing you at The Globe mate!

Thats cos it's miles better

Soufully speaking, yeah Timebox version better than FV. Miles better? .. hmmm

Not on about soul, it's just a better version...nearly bought it when I was 8 years old

You were buying records when you were eight?!

It's all about the soul in here! No really Timebox version embraced by Northern fans as it is more soulful than Frankie Valli. Though don't want to knock FV too much he had a lot more success than Timebox and there's a reason for that.

Thats cos it's miles better

Agreed.

Best thing I can say about the Frankie Valli version is that it's better than the bloody Pilooski remix!

You were buying records when you were eight?!

Weren't you?

Weren't you?

No, ice cream. Oh and short trousers ..

No, ice cream. Oh and short trousers ..

Thinkl it was because I played my moms records from an early age, and I mean like 18 months, there were always records everywhere, by the time I was 9 I had bought (and don't go thinking I was rich, they were all ex charts)

martha & vandellas - DITS, rolling stones - honky tonk women, beatles - get back, beatles - hey jude, beatles - ballad of john and yoko, the move - blackberry way, desmond dekker - israelites, the foundations - build me up buttercup, the archies - sugar sugar...I even bought, and I still don't know how I can have heard it, marvin gaye & tammi terrell - you ain't livin until you're lovin...actually probably heard it on the radio same as I heard Timebox.

Just listened to the Timebox version. Its nice but for me I think the FV version is better. Perhaps if I had heard the TIMEBOX version first I would think differently. I prefer FVs vocal as well

Wow so you were actively collecting in the Sixties? Do you still have any I wonder that you bought when you were 8/9?

Nb, Mom btw.? This is the black country Mr Smiff, not bloody Venice Beach..

Wouldn't say it was collecting, it was just buying records. I still have the Marvin & Tammi, The Foundations and a copy of Sufferer by The Kingstonians which the lad over the road gave me when he packed up being a skinhead

Used to play it at "Brighton Beach" in the late 90s, as an alternative to the Timebox.

You used to be able to pick it up out of Goldmine/Beatin Rhythm for three quid a pop.

Geez I've got at least 3 copies of this 45 sitting around at home. I've heart the timebox version quite often and the four seasons once, but not spun by a northern DJ.

So is there a Four Seasons version that's different from the Frankie Valli one? And if so, in what way?

A few years ago had problems with a guy on ebay when a record never turned up. It was only a relative cheapie so after a couple of e mail didn't pursue it. 'Bout 6 months later the guy e mails me to apologise, saying he'd had some sort of breakdown and would be sending the record pronto, Anyway couple of days later the little brown package arrives and there's two freebies thrown in by way of apology, one of which was the above!

Anyway, shelved it with the "too poppy, not proper Norvern" (IMO) stuff and forgot all about it till came across it again a couple of months ago. Took it out and gave it a spin. Considered putting it in playbox but decided against it Bloody hell, if I get slated for spinning a few 70's tunes they'd probably crucify me for spinning this

Timebox?yes...........in his top 5 oldies,you'll have to read the Crossfire thread

Picked this up last week...

Wow so you (Smiffy) were actively collecting in the Sixties? Do you still have any I wonder that you bought when you were 8/9?

I can't be the only one in here who's still got pretty much all the records he's ever bought.

I started in 1964 with E.M.I. record tokens I got for my 11th. birthday in June. These are the first two records I ever bought - they're still in their (admittedly battered) original sleeves and I still treasure them:

Picked up a 4 Seasons on original UK Philips today if anyone wants it.

I can't believe people are paying for the 4 Seasons 45 these days, I had a pressing plant box of issues a couple of years ago, couldn't give them away & ended up binning them to get them out of my house. I like the Timebox 45 better but don't own it so the 4 Seasons one will have to do for now. The 4 Seasons version should be the same as the Frankie Valli version (although I've not seen a solo Frankie Valli version of Beggin' on 45 so maybe someone is confused). Good song, I didn't know someone had remade it.
