Great stuff Pete. I started going in 1976 Wigan and Yate mainly. As I lived in South Wales at the time. Forgot about a few of these - great choice. The first all nighter I went to in '76 I bought three singles which were Sam & Kitty - I've Got Something Good , Gene Chandler - Mr.Big Shot and Danny Monday - Baby Without You. Still have them in my collection. Anyone remember the racks of records that used to be in newsagents back then - also in some service stations if I remember correctly. Used to have loads of US & UK soul 7" in them. They were about 40p a single I think. Anyone know who distributed them? I always wondered where they came from. I bought so many records just in my local newsagents alone. Rob M

The plot thickens. Was the Sugar Simone version ever played on the scene? There's one on ebay for $250 at the moment. There goes the 50 quid valuation - or maybe not. Cheers Rob M

That's Interesting Pete. Which was the original version? Sugar Simone or John E Paul? Do we know?

I was thinking the same thing.

Thanks - sounds like it could be, although I'm sure the one I heard was a duet. The Sugar Simone is a great version though. I'll have to track a copy down. Cheers Rob

Just PM'd you. Cheers Rob

I was in a restaurant in London recently and over the sound system I heard "I Wanna Know" not by John E Paul though. It was a duet with a male & female vocal and quite a bit slower than John E. Paul's version. Sounded like a Sixties production. Anyone know the version I'm talking about? Or was I dreaming? I think it may have been a radio station playing it.
