Pointer Sisters - Send Him Back [USA Atlantic 45]

[nsouldek]

first heard this at music hall alniters in aberdeen.sounds as good now as it did way back in the day.over 30 years ago now, wow

[B4inSF]

Never heard this before--nor have i ever heard OF it! WOW! It couldn't be 1976....I did a GOOGLE and here is what I found: Send Him Back was a b-side on the 7'' Destination No More Heartache released on March 1972 by Atlantic performed by the legendary family girl group , the Pointer Sisters. ----'72 is much more like it!

[Hoovercat]

Hi

Where is it possible to get this song ?

[karmannghiaman07]

@FABRICEDAVILLE

Hi, its on After Hours Vol3, have a look on Amazon, alas it won't let post a link.

Just wondering if anyone knows anymore Pointer Sister tracks in this vein; unfortunately I can only find soft jazz ones or cheesy 80's ones which are not to my taste?

[telarock]

@karmannghiaman07 Another great early release from the Pointers is a tune: Dont Try To Take The Fifth ... find it on Youtube ... the URL wont post here.

AWESOMEE!!!!

[gayforgays]

I was a POINTER SISTERS fan from Yes We Can Can on, very loyal, and I NEVER HEARD THIS SONG!! So damn hot, it shhould have been a huge hit. When was it recorded? And that is Bonnie in the lead right?

[TelephoneStone1]

Recorded in New Orleans on 27th Sept. 1971 and released on Atlantic Records in 1972. This was first regularly played at the Northern Soul venue, Blackpool Mecca's Highland Room by resident DJ's Ian Levine and (ex Torch) Colin Curtis in 1975. The record was deleted shortly after its USA release and is still one of my and Northern Soul DJ's all time favourites. Released in 2005 on UK Warner Music CD "After Hours 3" straight from the master tape - What a Gem!

[telarock]

@TelephoneStone1 - thanx for the background info. this is a fave of mine.

[tzein85]

I heard this re-mixed and playing in a club in Athens last night. Just brought back soooo many memories, i had to come and find the original.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

Jxxxxxxx

[drwhatson]

First played (like so many other so-called "Wigan Classics" on Youtube) at the Highland Room, Blackpool - in 1975, not 1976.

[7DDuncan]

[tonydam]

[sodami]

Oh man. I first heard the pilooski edit of this. The original is amazing as well. Can't believe how incredible some music was back then.

[7DDuncan]

[child1959]

@7DDuncan Do you remember when the Beachcomber opened in the morning from 8am till god knows when - then there was the early sessions in M's from around 7pm - WHAT A CLUB!!

[littleRascalBreakerz]

Dang! This is a tight song! The beat speak volumes!! Today's commercial music sucks!! They don't make beats like this anymore.

[allwayssoul]

what a bl**dy good Classic, love it allways

[dogstoat]

1976 I think it was - floor-packer at the Casino!

[amandalee7777]

Send the SOB back...No - back to where he caaame from...

[kpthfaith]

Lovely to hear this again brings back such memories, although personally it probably reminds me more of Cleethorpes than Wigan.

[cornishdeb]
