it's a different version alright - parts 1 & 2 - same falsetto
the second side starts with what Bob Mays calls 'the sexy talking part'
yeah I know it's totally different now, the recording I had of the 1974 version was muffled which made me think it was the same just recorded poorly or transferred poorly. Is there a red label and a blue label of the later version? I vaguely remember seeing a blue label but I'm probably confused about that now.

Bob, do you know the later red label version of the Mark-keys - 'Heavenly Thing'?
I think I prefer that one
simply because it's rarer
I still don't, I had an opportunity to get one cheap years ago and didn't because I was confused about it being a totally different version -- I had a recording and just thought it was a different edit for some reason

the exciters!!
a) the exciters isn't the title of the song
b) the name doesn't start with the letter 'x' which was the context of the conversation
there are a bunch of soul groups whose actual name starts with the letter x but matt was going for a song about a girl or guy whose name starts with the letter x.

I have googled it, carefully mind, and nothing jumped out. Sounds kind of LP track tucked away on a late 70's rock/funk LP, Will search tonight but not hopeful!
I got one that doesn't really count. There is that really weird late 70s soul record, produced by Marvin Gaye, by a singer named Xavier on the Capquarius label. it's called "love man". And he's talking about himself. So the song is about an Xavier. But it's not in the title of the song, only the artist.

For a project I'm doing that involves songs with names in the titles (Bobby Is My Baby, Carlena, etc., etc., etc.), I'm stumped on X and Y name records. Can anyone think of a soul, R&B, blues, funk, or gospel record that has a male or female name in the title or lyrics that starts with an X (probably a lost cause) or a Y (Yvonne, Yvette, Yolanda, Yul...?)
Thanks!
in doing a web search for y names i hit this page;

I've got one and seen them for sale on here for about £160 odd. All seem to have the USA pen marker both sides - a clean one must be rare? Also I thought it was listed on Dave's site as Baby Huey on Breakthrough - either super rare or a mistake?
Baby Huey & The Babysitters - Just Being Careful - Breakthrough H 1001 - £1200
I asked what that was in another thread recently and someone said it was a mistake and should have said shann
