Rachel Sweet - It's so different here

[RAMBR0]

I've got to give this props, I only knew the Gota feat Viv McKone version (bit more production to it, but it essentially keeps the song intact)...I'm assuming this one to be the original, no?

[Chalo77]

The flute part is GOLD!!

[ambadad]

Met her when she played at Sheffield Poly Union in the late 70s. It was an 18s and over venue, yet she was no more than 17. I was among the stage crew provided by the Students Union so got to meet her at the soundcheck and after the show. Very nice lass who put on a great performance. I have the album on white vinyl and this was always one of my favourite tracks too.

Beatnuts coming out with a new album in 2011 "Planet of the Crates"

[msOctober12]

THIS tune is aptly title because it is SO DIFFERENT from everything else she recorded...WOW (that's a disappointed wow, by the way)

[msOctober12]

Hey, Im familiar with the instrumental done by Gota some years back, But this blows the roof off of that version (naturally). THIS IS FUNKY AS HELL!!!! what year was it?

[duppykitoon]

Great stuff. I bought her LP when it came out, it was pure, virginal white vinyl.

[simoninzaghi]

a great voice over a silky beat

[loverution]

I'm sorry, but if Rachel Sweet had more songs like "It's So different Here", she'd cross over to R&B like David Bowie and all others. This is R&B! I'd say, "Damn you, Rachel" out of love, of course. It's a wonderful jam.

The Beatnuts coming out with a new album summer 2010 called "Planet of the Crates" look out for it!

[1981timur]

Nice track

[dreadhead703]

Nice mellow groove

[hunn89]

cool post...

Japanese Jazz fusion artist Gota did a nice version of this also.

[1981timur]

nice one for the heads up, will look that up at some point

[TheGiftedOne1]

This song is soo great...and her voice is just awesome. Luv that track!

[Thekunt]

this song is the bollux!

big up cHiller!

[EvansSt83]

this is a really cool song!

[EvansSt83]

This sounds like indie-rock, neo soul,and hip hop rolled in one song.

[Cabronblanco]

hadnt heard this in a long time. LOVE IT! really stands the test of time; didnt know the beatnuts had sampled it.

[gladegladeglade]

I wish someone would post Wildwood Saloon if they have it... What a great song.

G

[vazjam]

Agreed...love it to bits...I'm gonna have to get to grips with this technology: To Do List: Buy stylus for turntable; learn how to transfer groovy grooves to new fangled discy things and post on inter-net thingy...May take some time but I'm on the case...! Best wishes to all RS fans x

[nicademus666]

I wish someone would post "Truckstop Queen" it was on the Stiff Akron comp.  With the scratch and sniff cover, still have it, still stinks like rubber.

[vazjam]

Yeah...me too...shame about Akron...Cuckoo Clock with Lena Lovich rocks also, as did most of the Stiff label stable...Damn; must buy a new stylus for my turn table so that I may once again enjoy the eccentricity of that white vinyl disc... X

[irishhomie3]

Didn't she cover Elvis Costello's "Stranger in the House" on this album?

[nicademus666]

Yes, she did.

[AkuaRising]

This could have been released this decade. I like it. I just discovered her at the thrift store today.

[tasha122277]

this song is original. nothing like it really.

[PeroxidePop]

Yeahhhhh - someone post who does Lisa Like? Fab US girly mall song.

[meowzer999]

My favorite track from Rachel's smashing Fool Around debut (Cuckoo Clock, close second)

[TheGiftedOne1]

i meant, "so hot"...

[rocknrollphilip]

while her first album,fool around, is excellent, her best album is protect the innocent which isn't represented in any way on you tube. what's up with that?

[bostweed]

Yeah, Spellbound was it? Great single, but i guess there's no video as Stiff wasn't interested anymore by then.

But CBS should've made a video for Shadows of the Night, huge hit potential which Benatar proved later

[tislamic7]

this is very dope!!! gotta get it

[incrediblecHiller]

you find the album for 5€ on (german) ebay.

but it's pretty much a one tracker in my eyes...

[GoneWildProductionz]

true dat

[gr8tfully1]

who is lisa????think i saw her sitting around the Firestone parking lot! yea, real good song. PLEASE POST IT; someone!

[muars]

fett ...

[pluswun]

this song is crazy!  this could have been released today and been a smash!

[xekbixsi]

ok now i know for sure

[incrediblecHiller]

;-)

[xekbixsi]

sampled by the beatnuts - "we got the funk"

at least i think so, sounds like it

[tonymaka]

'Whats in the cuckoo clock' and 'who does lisa like?' are the best tracks on this album. I saw Rachel perform live and she was excellent.
