I was inspired by this version to do a cover. My next cover is a Ronettes song. And then finally some original material like what's been floating around London.
I've been a NC6 fan for decades! This is an excellent song. I'm honored to have Lyndsey Price's cover version of this song on our Garage Rock Radio Records label. Both versions rock!
Flowerchild can't focus on phone talk and typing so probably typed what was being said - had nothing to do with the video. 967 types her phone number lmao.
Fun video. I prefer the original B side, more raw, fun harmonica, to the version of Attacking A Straw Man (though I like that version too)--it's just a cool song. Still, "Things I'd Like To Say" is a big fave of mine, aging very well
Me personally? No. I like this tune way better than the flip side (Things I'd Like To Say). Too "ballady" and in fact, it's part of the reason they got pidgeon-holed as a ballad band. I liked their rocked up tunes much more than the ballads. Glad for their success (with the ballads), but not for getting stuck as a band that only got ballad airplay. They deserved more air time & exposure for their "rockers". That's why I like post NC6 - RJM even better. They were a bluesy rockin' band!!
After Ray Graffia left the band in 1970, he formed RJM featuring Ray Graffia vocals Chic James drums, and Craig Kemp keyboards, all original members of NC6. This band rocked. I posted pic vids on You Tube. Search for RJM. Find their songs on the NC6 CD "Sides" 2007 on the Rev-Ola label. The CD features rare / alternate NC6 tracks and the most of RJM's songs plus a brand new tune by Ray Graffia - "Sides", which can be found by searching You Tube under the name of "Graffia Brothers".
The version of this song that you hear on this video was a later recording that was on the New Colony Six "Attacking A Straw Man" album that came out on the Mercury label in late 1969.
The original studio version of this song is a lot better than this version. Come and give your love to me was the flip side of Things I'd like to say.
This was the original studio version. Their 2007 release of alternate versions and previously unreleased material, "Sides", features the other version of this song with Pat McBride's excellent harmonica work and Ronnie Rice on lead vocals.
Yeah I have the version with Pat McBride's harmonica work and Ronnie Rice on lead vocals. Mercury label - Catalog # 72858 I knew it sounded different.
"Come + Give Your Love To Me" was part of their Mod-rock era(Mid-1960's) before they went MOR rock by !968-1969(Late 1960's).

I love this song. Covering it was a lot of fun. Hope to add fullness with more keyboard and echo effects. It is not over yet.

the b side version of this is way better but I was surprised when I heard the album version was different when I first played it

This song was the original A Side. Aren't you glad Larry Lujack came over that night and said "Guys, you're pushing the wrong side of the record"?

I have the orginal record . I haven't played it in about 20 years. Guess I'm remembering wrong but I could swear it sounded different than this one.

@dickeyboyz This is the album version of the song which is way better than the version released as single which featured McBride's harmonica playing.
