       Gone With The Wind Is My Love

       Not Motown but a classic sound. 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?

       I think that the original is really the Gloria Jones version Mr.
       Snakepit.
       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.

       Didnt know that Roger.
       The Rita version has been a huge NS sound for years. On a lot of
       tapes in mid 80s.

       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.

       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.  :)

       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.
