Rain - Out Of My Mind

[seanandahalf]

I've still got the original vinyl album - Phyllis looks absolutely angelic on the back cover. I was a huge fan of Kitchener bands - having seen most of them live at The Pavillion in Sauble Beach. Copperpenny were fantastic - I have a really rare 45 of them doing "Summertime" in the Billy Stewart style. I heard Rich Wamil was playing in a great group called "Gravity". I can be contacted via e-mail at northdan@bell.net

I started college around this time and on the daily drive to the university this song would pour out of my brother's 1962 Volkswagen 6 inch Dynamic speaker -- That speaker was phenomenal -- as was the music of this time [and this song] --Thanks for the video!! Terrific song!!!

[mottledbrain]

It's been a long, long time. Thanx for this.

[TheSoulbrother7]

The record hit big on English Northern Soul Scene reaching anthem status at Wigan Casino Allnighters in the early 70's and still considered by many as a classic dancer of that era heavily played producing new dance styles and crazes.

B-side Here With You.Class Record 5 * Post !

I'm very surprised of this "beat" for Rain while "Make Me" was an hard rock tune! This one seems to be DISCO!

[mojofilter02]

Nah. Disco wasn't invented until three years after this record was made.

another great Canadian classic played on CKLW alot. I have this song on an Axe LP collection.

[arober2]

Hey, Mojo, do you have in your magic briefcase

"Stop me from believing in you" by Rain?

[mojofilter02]

Sorry, man, it took me some 35 years to find this one record by them! It'll be awhile before I find another one!

[denowolf]

Thanks for posting this classic, I used to pester the DJs something rotten for this one.

[beigecat]

fab record a real northern stomper a pure claccic gem.

[cdrich50]

Thank you, you've done it again, I saw Charity Brown and rain at the University of Waterloo when I was about...(age)...Well forget that. Great song...thanks again

[secordman]

Thought I'd click on some songs I didn't know. But hey, I DO know this one after all. Last comment of the day for me, tremendous visiting your videos today, thanks for the great memories and I'll keep checking in.

[wufwufwufwuf]

memory's flood back from this many thx

[crawfish999]

Say, do you have a video of Reno by the Gemtones? It's an instrumental. I still have the 45 bought in Montreal circa 1964.

[mojofilter02]

I'm afraid not. I suggest you look up user "tokensurfer" and ask him. He has a lot of very obscure Canadian records, many from Quebec.

[charliesbear]

Here's an obscure Canadian single that needs some exposure: "Understanding is Sorrow" by another Kitchener Ontario group called YUKON in 1971.

It got a lot of play on CKXL in Calgary back in the day.

Doing a recent Google search revealed that it had indeed been up very briefly on YT and then pulled.

Was that you Mojoman? If so, would you put it back up?

[mojofilter02]

No, it wasn't me. But if it was up and then pulled, I'm not willing to risk my account to post it again. Three strikes and you're out, and all that.

[charliesbear]

Understood.

Are you familiar with the song?

Have any idea's for tracking it down?

THANKS!!

[mojofilter02]

Sure, I know it; I have the single. I can find only one copy for sale on the web, at a site called gemm, for $20 due to its scarcity, and it's listed as only in Good condition. I wouldn't pay that much for a record in less than VG+ (better than Very Good) shape. You can create a search agent on that site that will notify you when another copy is listed. Eventually a better one will turn up there, and it might be less expensive.

[crawfish999]

I moved recently and my 45 rpm boxes are out of my reach. I hope to get to this soon & would be glad to run your test(unless my sister visiting me from Waterloo took the 45 back home with her).

[mojofilter02]

Thank you. If you are able at some time, I'd appreciate it.

[crawfish999]

I'd never sell it.

[mojofilter02]

Could you do record historians a favor? Can you tell us if your copy is presssed off-center? I believe that most of the times I've heard this record on the radio, it wandered back and forth, inducing seasickness because the disc was stamped off-kilter. How to tell: place the disc on the TT, run it and look at the grooves to see if they appear to go back and forth instead of remaining still. Thanks!

[crawfish999]

I still have my copy on the London label.

[mojofilter02]

Hang on to it! It's worth some coin already.

[cjthemusicman]

Thanks for finally finding this gem! And giving us the pleasure of hearing it once again.
