Pat Kelly Question

Post by TheExpanders »

I am looking for the 70s Steppers version of "You Don't Care For Me At All". I'm part of a band that will be backing Pat Kelly in California in June, and he specifically requested the Steppers version. I only have the original Rocksteady cut.

Thanks in advance!

Respect.

Uniques do a great version of this on their showcase album.

Hi Expander,

The very nice take of 'YDCFMAA' that Rootsman & Bellyman mention, if that ends up being the cut you need, let me know - that is if you don't have it already.

There's also a 12" by him called 'You Don't Care' (Body Music UK). I don't have it, wonder if that's the one he wants ?

Also - have you guys discussed if/how you're gonna play the song 'How Long'? If you do, maybe you'll consider the Yabba You produced take? You guys could nail that version good!

Just throwing it out there :-)

Hi Expander,

it's interesting that Pat Kelly has specifically asked for another version than the original one drop.The artist very rarely requests a version other than the original and don't usually know as many versions of their own songs as us anoraks.

I speak as an anorak and a musician who has performed this tune with Pat Kelly and this may sound slightly controversial but the artist should send the musicians the version they wish to perform.

Its always a let down when you look forward to backing one of your heroes and they turn up to the first day of rehearsal and undo all your hard work.

Good luck with the gig
