Are these two the same b/t or at least same tune?

Why'd You Put Me On

Love Is Gonna Do You In

I know thw Bobbi Row is credited to Don Julian but did the Larks ever record it? A sound clip and or scan of the Autographs would be good.

Bounce. Anyone got the Autographs?

the autographs "love's gonna do you in" has nothing to do with bobbi rowe "why'd you put me on" if that's what you're asking, they're totally separate tracks. Both are great records though.

just to clarify, by "separate tracks", I mean totally unrelated songs

Thanks Chris and Bob, that's put that one to bed.

Presumably no one knows of a Larks version of Why'd You Put Me On

I'm confused, Bobbi Rowe and the Englishmen are the Larks. Are you just asking if there is a released 45 credited to the Larks?

Really, they sound very white to me, where did you get that fact from Bob?

it's listed that way in the soul harmony singles book and it sounds exactly like don julian lead with the larks to me and not white. I guess that book and my ears could be wrong, I don't know what the source was for the book. The larks did record under other names -- e.g. the pretenders.

I can see why on a cursory listen somebody thought the two songs were similar but I agree that they aren't. Lots of LA group's were trying to be the Imps not just the Larks.

Thanks I'll give it another listen with that suggestion.

Thats's a my fault baby!, the chord progressions are similar, I guess thats were I got it from, unless I can find that old tape from Tim Ash and it wasn't the Autographs...

Hi Ady

Always suspected they might be Don Julian and the Larks trying to cash in on the British Beat boom by calling themselves The English Men and recording in a dreamy pop harmony ballad style. The phrasing of the vocals and certain idioms used in the lyrics betray them as 100% black Americans I think.

For what it's worth I think this is a charming record for all its idiosyncracies: it's been in my hypothetical sales box for a long time, but on the occasions I play it I always think "that's actually really good" and decide to keep it.

A few years ago John Manship's site listed the Bobbi Row 45 on another label, Safe, for £250.00; I wonder if anyone has a copy on that logo or whether it was just a typo?

The Safe release is n his latest guide so it must have come out on one of DJ's little occasional label.

Thanks

I have at least one other larks money 45 on safe. I have seen the bobbi row on safe before (although John posted it below).
