Giving Up On Love- 1st post edited; that proves I'm an idiot!

So I was down the Majestic near Liverpool St, for some soul and shandy and this record kicked off sounding like a Superbs track I didn't know-I'm a big fan. Then a rich male baritone broke out with a glorious production which absolutely slayed me. I asked a knowledgeable DJ I was stood with who it was and he admitted he didn't know either but we both felt the voice was familiar. Having a suspicion that soul veteran John Marriot would know I popped over to the other side of the bar to ask him and he told me-Jerry Butler 'Giving Up On Love' on Vee Jay. When my face had cooled down I expressed amazement that I'd never actually heard it before though I'd seen it a hundred times and probably had filed it in my collection meaning to play it once I had a bit more time. John and Jeff took comfort in the fact that there are still old new records for us all to "discover" and indeed it's amazing/shameful the amount of tracks that hit you like that; Margie Joseph's 'What You Gonna Do' was another one last night and Bobby Womack 'Something For My Head' shot into my current top ten when I heard it on Tony Rounce's Phillip Mitchell Songs CD. As a footnote Majestic is exactly my kind of club Betty Everett 'The Shoe Won't Fit' and Johnny Nash 'I'm So Glad You're My baby' also got spun; at 61 I need sounds/tempos like those.

Just grabbed one myself and the production is by Parker, Daniels, Akens so I think we're looking for an L A based Parker. I can't think who that might be though. Richard Parker?

It could have been an original mod record, it was always around

Nope, just on the mod circuit I think

Thanks, we've got the gold Era re-release so hopefully you've got the orig Andy

Thanks folks

I wouldn't agree with you there Robb. Apart from Othello Robertson I've not come across an Era black music recording that wasn't in-house. They are usually Herb Newman songs so he controlled it very tightly.

This always gets 'em going. Billy Watkins, Othello Robertson, Jesse Davis, Stevbe Flanagan on Era. I really wanna know who broke 'em rather than who spun them first I suppose,; both would be interesting though. Ady

Yes Timmion licensed it from us for the vinyl LP release. We put it out on Dave Hamilton's Detroit Dancers Vol 3 on Kent and The Detroit Funk Vaults on BGP. There may have been an acetate or two floating about in the 80s, it's one of her many great unissued Dave Hamilton tracks

Well the next question is what was it?

So did you get that big want and is this the longest sales thread ever?

Could anyone send me a basic scan and MP3 or a link to where I can hear the flip of Meet Me At Midnight please? ta Ady

It's listed but I can only remember 4 J copies? Ady

They had a weird release on Era distributed by Happy Tiger around 1970. It was Jewel Akens and Eddie Daniels at least. Dos anyone know anything about them? Ady

Could some kind soul send me a hi res scan of I Get A fEELING PLEASE? cDS IN RETURN. tA aDY

Not available elsewhere

Those are the only originals I've seen, not sure about when she died.

I Have Something New would have gone big in the late 80s/90s. I play it early doors at the 100 Club sometimes

Ace has the master tapes from Colpix, an EMI subsidiary, they are scheduled for release next year. Nice tracks and a good find. Ady

I hope this doesn't mean membership of the Hollister surf club will decline.
