This is one of those covers where Vanilla Fudge's melodrama fits the song perfectly
  3:26pm
Moog1 Radio:

Sandie!

Avatar 3:31pm
Erica:

Yeah this is my favorite version of Big Time Operator.
  3:31pm
Moog1 Radio:

and that's just the lead off track!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:32pm
Funky16Corners:

It's criminal that it wasn't released over here at the time, considering some of the stuff that DID get issued
Avatar 3:33pm
Erica:

Hey Larry you should check out Australian Pop hits of the 60s. It has the songs you have and more.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:34pm
Funky16Corners:

I have a bunch of Aussie 60s stuff, originals and CDs. Do you remember when I did the all-Australian show?

Hey Vincent!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:38pm
Michael 98145:

No idea this Jackie cover existed
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:39pm
Funky16Corners:

I think this might have been a minor hit at the time (1968)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:40pm
Funky16Corners:

Of course everything that didn't make the Top 10 is ignored by Oldies Radio
Avatar 3:40pm
Erica:

Also that Candi Staton version of In the Ghetto is better than Elvis' version.
  3:41pm
rw:

Hellooo!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:41pm

Agreed. Have you heard the Gene West version (actually Barry White under a pseudonym)?

Jeff Ash:

That Jackie DeShannon cover is on her "Laurel Canyon" LP from 1968, which is both excellent and hard to find.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:45pm
Candy-O'67:

Hey, JR!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:45pm
Funky16Corners:

@Jeff - She should have been a much bigger deal.

Jeff Ash:

Yes, Larry, agreed on Jackie DeShannon.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:53pm
Funky16Corners:

When you take into account her considerable talents as a songwriter, as well as a performer, and the quality of her records, you'd think she'd be better remembered, at least beyond her big hits
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:05pm
Funky16Corners:

This is a surprisingly subtle reading by Los Vanilla Fudge...
  4:16pm
Phil in Framingham:

Judy dyble recorded a couple of albums as half of Trader Horn after fairport before switching over to her career as a librarian. Well worth a listen.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:16pm

Me too, and it's so tied to the original arrangement I'm always surprised to hear a cool cover

Sergio and Brasil 66's cover of this made my jaw drop...

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:39pm

@Vincent - I'd never heard of that record until about a month ago. I suspect that she made a play for a different audience and it went nowhere at the time
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:40pm

Thanks, Larry! I was just going to pop on and invite everyone over!

Absolutely... I think I may have the mp3s on my computer from years ago though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:45pm

The record is sweated so heavily by sample spotters that it got super expensive
