There is something odd about this record, it's years old but seemed to make its first appearance in 2012! Does anyone know the story behind it?

My understanding is that she recorded it as "Gloria & The Tiaras" but Dore weren't allowed to release it as she was contracted to another record company so they got Rita Graham to re-do the vocals.

The Rita version has been a huge NS sound for years. On a lot of tapes in mid 80s. #Post#: 6081-------------------------------------------------- Re: Gone With The Wind Is My Love By: Roger Date: October 31, 2020, 7:56 am --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Snakepit link=topic=905.msg6080#msg6080 date=1604145843] Didnt know that Roger.

[/quote] Yes, I remember it appearing on a lot of NS playlists in the '70s and it received a UK release on Destiny (label run by Kev Roberts aimed at the NS crowd) in '79. The original US release on Dore 45Cat has at February 1967, it seems that it goes for very silly money nowadays (over £5000!!) and even the Destiny release can fetch £50. (HTM) https://www.45cat.com/record/nc344313us Incidentally. the original Dore release and the '79 Destiny one are both timed at about two minutes, the 2009 UK release on Kent is a longer version at around three minutes … you'd think that with 50% more music it might be worth over £7500 but 45Cat has it worth a mere £45 … sounds like a bargain to me. :) (HTM) https://www.45cat.com/record/city009 Roger #Post#: 6084-------------------------------------------------- Re: Gone With The Wind Is My Love By: Snakepit Date: October 31, 2020, 8:50 am --------------------------------------------------------- I've got a Dore double CD..mostly NS interest...and there are some very nice tracks on them #Post#: 6092-------------------------------------------------- Re: Gone With The Wind Is My Love By: humboldt Date: October 31, 2020, 6:00 pm --------------------------------------------------------- You beat me to the punch. I was about to say that Gloria's is actually the original version by a whisker! It's my preferred rendition. #Post#: 6097-------------------------------------------------- Re: Gone With The Wind Is My Love By: Roger Date: October 31, 2020, 8:46 pm --------------------------------------------------------- The long Rita & The Tiaras version … :) ...
