... I've found a copy of Cristina's 1980 cover of 'Is that all there is?' which Annie Nightingale played a lot way back then. I loved it, but Leiber and Stoller didn't. So they had it deleted.
I've just downloaded this too, I'm afraid - the temptation was simply too great to overcome /whimper/. The SM twist to the stroll along the river clinches it! & that deadpan ~i've seen the whole fucking thing before - yawn~ way in which the song is delivered. Brilliant!
I remember Annie N. playing it, too! Was (still is) on my list of singles to look out for on travels. But it was actually deleted within hours of official release(ie same day). Obviously the radio stations had pre-release copies & I think these are the only ones ever to get out there...
Oh yeah, in case you're wondering just who I am...I was doing a friends of friends trawl being an LJ newbie -concetrating on people I sort of know from bicon. You *definitely* now get a place on my friends list!
I had a copy in my hands, around 1983, when playing around with the student union's DJ decks while setting up the lighting for some event or other, wand felt very restrained in returning it to the box.
A photo would help - my memory for matching names to faces without them both together in front of me is a-pall-ing.
After all these years!
