What are you listening to in 2021 and why might anyone be interested

Hello adeypoos.

Both versions are available on Qobuz in HD, the 1972 original mix and the 2014 remaster (only four of the seven 2014 remastered track’s are available here in the UK on Qobuz).

The 2014 remaster is my favourite.

A pedant writes: The Four Tops’ (superior) version was the cover. Walk Away Renee was written by the Left Banke’s Mike Brown.

Trying out a loan ND555 whilst the CD player is away for repair. There will be a good mix of genres played to give it a run out.

Thanks bhoyo. I didn’t know that. Always assumed it was a H/D/H composition. Four Tops definitive cover a year later in 67. I like both versions.

Reggae George Three Wicked Men is a glorious roots Reggae obscurity recorded at Tuff Gong Studios, hard to find in good nick and at prices that would make a banker wince! I’ve been after this tune for donkeys years ever since hearing Rodigan playing a dub plate of it and came across this crisp 10" re issue at Dub Vendor, it has the original Jamaican Mix & Dub with a new remix on the flip, nice one!

Yes indeed, I’m enjoying the vinyl edition. I may have posted it recently
Nice swinging big band with a hint of Soul Jazz, this being a homage to Jimmy Smith, Wes Montgomery and Oliver Nelson. Great sound too

R. Dean Taylor - The Essential Collection
Protege of Holland Dozier Holland, he was the only white artist signed to Motown in the late 60’s and 70’s and was Motown’s great white soul hope. Some very good forgotten songs from the time.

Theres A Ghost In My House/Indiana Wants Me. What a great Motown 7" that was! Something of a Northern Soul classic too I believe.

The original Sassafras. Pride of Wales.:black_flag:󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Great blues rock.

The Welsh Sassafras a bit more bluesy Quo boogie, a very different beast from Sassafras and Friends who is Gary G. Bogstadt who hails from Philadelphia. I must admit I do prefer the Welsh Sassafras, but the American Sassafras aren’t to shabby either.
