Are 2 totally different recordings and the LP sounds like a Pied Piper production in a lot of way, particularly the girly backing vocals. It's far superior to the 45.

They certainly are different recordings Ady and different lengths as well. Is the A-Bet reissue of the album identical to the original release on Money. I note that the publishing company must have been taken over by Jobete by 1972.

Muchas Gracias Amigo.

Totally different, even different keys, and I equally like both versions. Each has a different feel.

I have a recording of the A-Bet reissue version on my laptop at home. Can post it either tonight or tomorrow if you guys still need it, please PM me a reminder if that's the case...

Edit:

Have a recording of the 45 version as well that I can post...

I forgot about that, Ken, but they're only 96 kb/s quality.

And they sound better because they're not allowed. Like forbidden fruit.

Go on, have a listen ...nobody's looking.

Just dug out the Money copy and listened to them both. Can't hear no Pied Piper 'sound' Ady. Think I prefer the original version especially with that majestic/fanfare intro. I'd never heard the LP version before so thanks guys.

As I said, I like both but the 45 version has a nice simplicity to it. Calm and confident.

Think i have this on A-bet 45,never listened to it.

Nice cover shot, Ken. I'm trying to zoom in on the price sticker. Does it really say 35p? And does that include postage?

Not the girl backing vocals? Perhaps its just me.

I've got a Doris Duke I'm a loser , like that Dave , on Canyon but with a Contempo sticker .Interesting eh ? Best,Eddie

Just bought the ABET DEMO.

Noticed that my other copy has JUKE BOX Above the Number, R & B Underneath?

Other Copies about without this on the Label, now wondering why they needed to specify.
