| Why do we always hear what sounds like a live version of Gimme Some Lovin', and never the original hit single ? It happened again last night, when Mark Radcliffe played it. |

Pass. i-Player's not working this morning so I can't Listen Again, but I suspect it's the American re-mix, which appears on Steve Winwood's Keep On Running / Best of... compilation, amongst others. "Extra production work, including background vocals and percussion, was added via Jimmy Miller".
Just doesn't sound right, does it?

"Gimmi Some Lovin" contains all the ingredients I craved in those days. I couldn't get enough of it.
I loved the opening bass line and those first powerful chords on the organ were fantastic to my ears.
I remember getting annoyed with our bass player at the time because I wanted him to "slide off" the 6th note as I insisted the original did... he said it didn't and persisted in playing a cut off note. 
It was, and is, one of my favourite tracks... and louder the better!

| Last week's SOTS once again played the remixed version. So I've sent a tape of the original to Phil Swern, but haven't heard back yet! |
