Lookin for original chune

Post by dreadnought »

Back again with another question..Who in jahs name originally sang the U Roy version of "Running Around With Tom, Dick & Harry"? Wicked chune and the vocals r tantalizingly familiar but I cant pin it down.Big respect to all whove helped so far and regards to those who answer this one.What a chune!..Whooa

The only thing I know, is that it's Ken Boothe singing.
I haven't heard the original myself yet. Would love to though.

Now...you...come...running...back.

Yes, it's Ken - take your pick. "Now you come running", "Come running back" "You Come Running Back". It depends which version you find first.

My copy is an old (but not quite original) 12". I suspect the label just took a 7" version and extended the song by repeating sections of it (like some of the Yabby U represses).

I've never uploaded or downloaded a tune in my life but if you have trouble finding a decent mp3 copy, let me know - at least I can use my CD recorder now!

I have 'Now you come running back' by Ken Boothe on 12 inch 45. It's an absolutely beautiful track.

Maybe I should upload it to www.leggorockers.com/downloads

@ Version Controller

Uploading and downloading is very very simple (at least on a Mac it is, can't be much different on a Widoze PC can it?).

And it is really easy to do on my mixtape site, either up or downloading is a snap.

Like it is as easy as hitting the 'download' button. The file will then copy to the selected area on your computer (to a folder named 'downloads' usually or your desktop area even). Even if you loose the file, you can just use Spotlight (or whatever Windoze calls it) to EASILY find the file again. Although I am told that this search function isn't very efficient on a Windows machine - but on a Mac it is extremely good and also VERY fast.

On a Mac you then just click the 'burn' button in the folder menu bar where the file is kept and it'll copy it direct to a CD-R. Again, I guess it works pretty much the same on a Windoze machine, doesn't it?

Uploading is just as easy.

How hard is that? Well, it's a lot easier than driving a car for instance! :D
