David Cassidy " All I Wanna Do is Touch You" Rare!

[lallypopgirl1]

I had the record AND this B side recording. Wonder where that thing is now! I loved David Cassidy!

[lallypopgirl]

I had this 45, think I still own it somewhere and played this side too! Loved him and his music and still do!

[daidycat1]

I always loooooved this song so much!!! It's a shame it was just stuck on the B side of Cherish. It could have been another hit single. I also used to sing this song back to DC's photo. Cause heaven only knows I would have loved to touch him and feel him touchin' me. ;)

[Venling]

PLEASE use grooveshark to archive this for posterity. High bitrate and STEREO (never use "joint stereo").

THANKS!

[jenzeppelin]

Jesus, what a title!!!

[LCRV1]

That is so True!!!!!! I found a new NEVER played copy and it sounded like a Bad needle had dug out a new Groove ...I was very dissappointed, you have a good copy!!!! That explains then why so many sounded so bad.. Is there any way perhaps you could send an MP3 copy??? I tried to download it from YouTube but it wouldn't work. I do have it in my favorites though, thank you very much!!!! It is a great tune!!!!

[YesMan46]

@LCRV1 Glad you like it, I'm contacting you through the Youtube site mail about the MP3!

[LCRV1]

Thanks...I wish it was on a CD...I have the 45..bought it brand new....never played, but it souds awful!!! Youre sounds much better..LOL

[luvevearden]

@LCRV1 There were FIVE pressing plants in the US at the time of Bell Records. Over TEN, if you count the record clubs back then. Many of my friends insisted that their 45s of the PF, or albums, were super fine with no distortion. Perhaps from ONE pressing plant; but mine sounded like sandpaper, and had to return three, count 'em -- three Bell singles as they would not play. Love This song, but to the others I have spoken with who think there were no problems at all - BULL

[LCRV1]

Wow...great Tune....it should have been a Hit!!!! But is it on any of his Albums??? I have the Cherrish CD, and it is not on it...thanks for Posting this!!! What a singer!!!

[YesMan46]

@LCRV1 No they never put this on an album yet, it's just the B side of the original Cherish 45 rpm, it could have been a hit, very pop sounding, almost like early Beatles!

[LCRV1]

Was this on any of his Albums??? I have the Cherrish CD...it is not on it. Great Tune

I would like to find it. Thanks for posting it!!!

[Ellen5010]

Thanks for posting. Never heard this before.

[YesMan46]

@Ellen5010

Oh great glad you like it, it is a great song!

[WINGSLOVESMUSIC]

@Ellen5010 my best friend and i used to grab the beddle off and make it say...........i just want to touch u.....

man those 45's got alot of wear and tear! this one should of been put out on an album

[WINGSLOVESMUSIC]

@Ellen5010 this one was my fav from the 70's.

[ajb1776]

The person who recorded this must have a record collection that is humongous and priceless.

[dreamerst73]

I think it's a very good song, but even kept off for long time; thank you for posting!

[cassidy322]

Not heard this one for years...............brings back memories of youth clubs..long summer nights..first loves...in the 70's....thanks

[xtopperx]

I'm totally jealous. I bought a 45 of this after hearing it here and it's way scratchy compared to this one.

[xtopperx]

At first I didn't like this, and I still feel its too much of a departure from the rest of Cherish. It probably wouldve gone better on Rock Me Baby, though it's got alot of classic Wes Farrell influence in it, and I dont hear so much of that on Rock Me Baby. I think it has a upbeat Christmas time vibe to it. Thanks for letting me hear this, I just found an old vinyl print still sealed from an Amazon dealer. Sweet!

[YesMan46]

That was a great comment, why did you remove it?

Anyway thanks and glad you liked it!

[YYCCEE]

Extraordinario. Hace solo 2 dias casualmentee pude encontrar en inter el track original en HiFi. Una de las mejors de DCassidy. Me traslada a la epoca colegial, summers 70's- Tuve el 45rpm original, en aquella epoca en casa eramos fans de la serie Partridge Family, lo he vuelto escuchar despues de 35 años, extraordinario , genial,

[PawlieGR]

Wow! A "turntable"! Great piece of nostalgia. Thanks for posting.

[MrAmirr76]

thanx a lot!awesome!!

[surreal2008trueblue]

Thanks again for posting....I keep coming back and listening to this song!!! There are some great vids with pics of DC out there, but your posting of a simple 45 record just further proves how timeless, talented, and wonderful David Cassidy truely is!!! (i meant that remark about simple as a compliment!!!) If you have any more please post!!! ~Peace

[EtoilepourDavid]

Echoing everyone else's comments: the sound is incredible. What a great track. His voice is quite fine here. Never would have heard it if not for your video so thank you very much for uploading it.

Do you have Frozen Noses, by chance? That's another one I've never heard. I think Cassidy322 would like to hear it as well :)

Best,

E.

[YesMan46]

Thanks, glad you like it... I don't think I've heard of Frozen Noses, where is that from?

[EtoilepourDavid]

From the DC Downunder Fansite's discography, it seems to have been the B side of the "If I didn't care" UK single. I don't think it was ever released in the States and it's not on any album from what I've found. I can't even find the lyrics online but the title intrigues me no end!

[YesMan46]

Wow, no wonder why I never heard of it, is also 1970's?

[EtoilepourDavid]

Yup. May 1974 on the Bell label. "If I didn't care" reached #9 in the UK and was a gold record.

[EtoilepourDavid]

YesMan, in case you're curious, "Frozen Noses" has been posted by Cherish David.

[msss22]

David, I was just watching many Partridge Family videos, and I saw that title "Frozen Noses" on their song "Rainmaker".... I DON'T think it was a song, but that title "Frozen Noses" is a poem in their video/song "Rainmaker."

[EtoilepourDavid]

Thanks for the reply, msss22. Actually, "Frozen Noses" IS a song. It was written by David Cassidy and appeared on his solo release of "If I Didn't Care". CherishDavid posted it not too long ago if you're interested in hearing it. Just do a search for "Frozen Noses" with Cassidy and it should turn up. The poem you saw on the "Rainmaker" video might have been a portion of the lyrics - someone did a screen saver of them with a picture of David skiing. Blue background if memory serves.

[cassidy322]

@EtoilepourDavid  Frozen Noses was on u tube.......have a look :-)

[EtoilepourDavid]

@cassidy322 Thanks. Yeah, I heard "Frozen Noses" when it was posted by CherishDavid a few months ago. I might have sent you a message via YT to let you know it had been posted - you brought it up first here several months ago. Interesting track, isn't it?

[cassidy322]

@EtoilepourDavid Thanks.....................I am a fan of Led Zep,Beatles,Stones, Genesis, Queen, Feeling, Duran, Motown, Jackson, Glam Rock, Abba ...classical too...Mozart is amazing etc very eclectic. I like early Cassidy for the good melodies, innocent lyrics, and the clarity of vocals....the songs have a feel that is hard to put into words........a backdrop to my teenage years ....walking Jane my first girlfriend home on balmy summer nights when we were 14...she introduced me to Cassidy.

[cassidy322]

Even better than previous comments.......First time I have heard this one at all............incredibly!

Hey.............nobody has put Frozen Noses up yet?

[caseyblue224]

Really cute idea for video! Thanks for posting.

[Beatles4ever63]

this song is soo spectacular!! i wonder if its on iTunes!

[cas3003]

My best song of David's this period.

I listen to it over and over again.

Thank you so much for posting it!

[rockerchic63]

love you!!!!

[rockerchic63]

holy cow!!! i havent heard this song in eons!!! my best friend got this 45 for her b-day we listened to it all day!!.....he will always be one of the coolest guys ever!! thanks for posting this!!! =)

[YesMan46]

Glad you like it rockerchick, that's why I posted it here...

not available on any CD as of yet!

[tiredoldbag]

Havent heard this in years - thanx for posting it's brilliant!

[Cherstars]

This was such a good song, I have this one too, great song!

[HateMccain]

'Lecagr' is absolutely right! "All I Wanna ..." is far better than "Cherish". But, I've always wondered if the original studio master recording of it was in stereo, even though the 45 was in mono. But, what a wonderful and delightful song. I've always loved it. It's my favorite solo Cassidy track. I hope it gets a CD release, and soon!

[lecagr]

Sometimes the "B" side of a single is better than the "A" side, as such is the case here. This is a nice song to play on a warm, breezy summer day. Written by Irwin Levine & L. Russell Brown who were songwriters for Bell Records. They wrote a number of songs for Tony Orlando & Dawn, the most famous one being Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree.

[YesMan46]

Nicely said, good information, thanks!

[lecagr]

You're welcome, thanks for posting this good song so others can hear it also. It should have been included on the Cherish LP, but for unknown reason it is not on the album. Although from 1971, this song has a bit of 1965/66 sound and feel to it. Interesting track from David Cassidy, very enjoyable indeed.

[summerof72]

ive always loved this song...too bad it never made it to a CD! : )

[SQDLVR]

I love this song from 1971, I was in second grade and played this song till the grooves were white on my close n' play phonograph...My dad had to buy me another one copy...which he kept in the family stereo after he committed the song to reel to reel and a cassette tape for me...I still have the 45 now...thanks to my Dad buying me another copy and rescuing it from my close n' play!!!

[Strongsong]

Good song, I had it in my collection in 1971, Bell Records. The song is a Tony Orlando & Dawn formula: "Candida", "Knock Three Times", "I Play and Sing", "What Are You Doing Sunday", "Carmen" etc; or Mike Kennedy's "Look in My Eyes Pretty Woman"; or Bobby Goldsboro's "Marlena", etc, etc.

[osvaldoe]

Well anyway, it's a great find! Thank you so much for sharing.

BTW, "Bulletin Board" is on the way to CD. Spread the word..LOL...maybe we'll get all those unreleased PF songs too.

[YesMan46]

That's good news, thanks!

[osvaldoe]

OOPS! Sorry for the double post. I thought the first post didn't come out but I guess sometimes it takes a few minutes to appear.

[YesMan46]

That's OK, I don't know why they didn't include it, many rare tracks are on the B side of 45's with lots of old groups...

[osvaldoe]

Why wasn't this included on the "Cherish" CD?!!! There was certainly plenty of room there and they could have used it as a bonus track!

[osvaldoe]

Why wasn't this on the "Cherish" CD? There was plenty of room there and they could have certainly used it as a bonus track.

[tiredoldbag]

did they use this in the pf too???????

[charliedontsurf70]

i wonder if david realizes that hes still the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beachboyjer79]

Nice Cassidy song firt time I heard it althought I proubly have the lp around somewhere

[YesMan46]

it's not on an LP, just the 45.

[laustererk]

God I remember this song. Amasing the things we forget over the years!!!!

[baronesz76]

GREAT SONG -

[ste740]

I'm a hugh fan of David Cassidy. I bought the Cherish album back in the 70's. This track is not on the album so of course I've never heard this song before. So thanks a bunch. Now, I want my own copy. I love any new songs like this one. What a pleasure!!

[wildbilltexas]

When I was a kid and a Partridge fan, a friend brought this record to school, and played it on the school phonograph. I remember not liking "Cherish"..too slow. But I LOVED the b-side and went and bought a copy of it that week.

[YesMan46]

everyone likes this forgotten DC catchy tune...

[girlytoads]

Thank you so much! It's a delight to hear this song. Saved to Favorites to savor over and over...:)

[thefabulousthomasj]

Thank you, YesMan!!!

This is one of my favorite David Cassidy tracks, and it has yet to be released on CD/iTunes. . .hint, hint! (are ya reading this, Sony/BMG???)

I'm saving this one to my favorites. . .

. . .muchas gracias!

Tom

[YesMan46]

My pleasure!

[Llarion]

Great sound! Have been looking for this song for many years electronically! You've got quite a clean disc there; the sound quality makes it through the conversion well! Wish there were MP3s of this tune floating around. Oh, well...

[YesMan46]

Thanks, This was recorded live in my garage where there are 10 speakers of varius quality and my new JVC video camera

which reproduces sound well.

[sundaeg1rl]

Wouldn't it have been easier to connect a lead from the headphone socket or out socket into the computer? Usually works for me

[YesMan46]

No, does not have the seperation, too much treble. I wanted

 a "live sound"

[Idolmakercat]

I have seen a lot on you tube and this sure is different but nice. At least people still have and use their turntables. I still have mine and all my 45's and LP's. I have been asked to sell them many times. I am so glad I kept them.

[cherish1950]

How wonderful to hear his song again after so many years. I played it to death when I was a teenager and still have the record but it is scratched. Thankyou so much for posting. I agree nothing beats the sound of a record.

[Pinupip]

Ahhh... that old familiar crackle when the needle hits the record... memories. Loved this song then and now. Thanks for posting. :-)

[YesMan46]

Yes, it's music to the ears! I still believe records sound better, more of a full sound with better seperation.

[dominique777]

I LIKE IT!

[Annehammersley]

Awesome!

[sgc4]

Thanks! This is one of my favorite songs by

D.Cassidy. I haven't heard it in over 20 years. Thanks so much!!!

[andreklau]

Wow

IT'S SOUND INCREDIBLE!!!!

Thank you for posting
