Description
STATESIDE SS 2060 DEMONSTRATION RECORD-SOLID CENTRE
Released 27/10/1967
Owned since new.
Extremely rare pressing with alternative flipside.
FLIPSIDE: "Building Up My Dream World"
Later reissued with Where Did The Magic Go on the B-side also as SS 2060. Building Up My Dream World" is identical to "Dream World" which was the B-side of "Nobody Needs Your Love". Perhaps they were initially unaware of this hence the change. The majority of copies feature "Where Did The Magic Go" as the flipside.
Originally recorded by David and Jonathan, and then Gene Pitney in 1967, the latter's version of the song reached No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1967, but failed to chart in the United States. The song was subsequently covered by a number of other acts including Cilla Black, but it achieved its greatest success in 1988 when it was covered by Marc Almond. Originally recorded by Almond alone for his 1988 album The Stars We Are, the single version reunited it with its best known singer Gene Pitney; their version became a number one single in the UK for four weeks in January 1989.
Superb collectors item.
