hi all,i have just uploaded my copy of the smith brothers-there can be a better way into refosoul and youtube,and then i was searching around on here for a topic on the song,its interesting to see that the magnificents on mam released the tune,and upon playing both side by side,they are defo the same song without doubt,and if delta numbers mean anything,then the smith bros is defo the first release!

dont know why the hell i put the tempos on the thread back in 2014?

hi gang just curious to who put out the bee northern soul compilation lp,and what year was it? its a bit of a shoddy lp...is it a bootleg? the cover is a plain white sleeve with a typed tracklisting on it. thanks lee

actually i was serious about reggie being andy williams...because of the similarities with voice,parts of the production,and the a.williams,i was almost sure it was him trying his hand under another name,maybe he thought it would get him in with another crowd! but your right,he was a big star at the time,it wouldnt make any sense,and of course...a williams is andre.

I had the reggie alexander 45 ' its better' and I was convinced that reggie was in fact andy Williams ' the crooner' because a. its sounds like him b. the twinkling piano and c. the writer credits on the b side of the 45 is ' a.williams'

cracked or not...in vogue or not...flippin great tune...so no one bother bidding cos im having it!

mega tune from the monitors,love the temptations version just a tad more though,although I don't think the temps version is on a 45,i wonder who recorded it first?

you beat me to the punch/old love pm with price/condition thanks lee

a tenner inc postage?...surely not more...haha

a copy on jm's for £20

god knows...but it sounds fairly new,going off the sound of the production

spellbinders...cracking lp!

that's interesting info,about 10 years ago I ended up with a Patrice Holloway acetate called 'for the love of mike' and a Brenda Holloway acetate called 'lonely boy',i wonder if they came from the same source? the story was that they had been rescued from a junk skip? either way I wouldn't mind the serenders acetate,the tune just ticks all the boxes for me,just love the tempo,the vocal style,and the instrumentation!

great info my friend...dare I ask where this acetate resides

does a 7" acetate exist of the tune,or was it off a 10" with other bits on it?

ray pollard on ebay

I suppose there were a few things that came out around that time....the worst one for me...and im guilty of buying it...was the frank Wilson instrumental...sounded like it was made on a casio keyboard...got it at keele in the early days...haha

is the eddie Holland the only track that was issued onto a 45,or are some of the others turned up over the years on French eps...etc..

yes its chris Marriott,i have the lp,its from 1993,poor quality im afraid,some of the songs sound like they are from a cassette tape,but the effort is there,and the lp comes with an old school hand written tracklist ' triangle connoisseur sounds''the motown/hitsville masters vol1'...don't know if it reached a vol2? but the creations/serenaders is the tune for me.
