I know this has been released on 2 labels (?IX and Sounds of Memphis-MGM). From memory these are two versions (SOM one earlier?), but no sound clip specifically on the SOM version (which I think was the superior one), anybody kind enough to post?

Cheers, Mark

XL is before Sounds Of Memphis. They sound like the same version to me but I think the mastering and pressing is slightly better on the SOM. An essential purchase for Southern Soul fans as the other side If I Can't Run To You is one of the greatest female deep records ever recorded.

They are exactly the same version. Recorded in 1968 and produced, despite what the label says by Charles Chalmers. The first release from late 71/ early 72 was on XL, but the mastering You Don't Love Me is really poor on that one, especially over a loud system. The SOM release from 72 sounds fabulous.

As Gareth says the B-side is astounding and sounds great on both pressings

Both are available here, along with another 18 great tunes
