Title: Strange 'Cottonfields' Release - Help required Post by: Rob Dean on May 25, 2016, 07:41:37 AM Going through my collection, I came across this beauty (?) - I can't even remember buying it, looked everywhere over the net and drawn a blank.
Other than the fact that it is a less than legal Malaysian label (that did dodgy compilations), I know nothing and does anyone else know of this or indeed have a copy. PS I don't even know what version of Cottonfields it is ::) [(http://s20.postimg.org/k2qcp3lct/WP_20160525_15_20_13_Pro.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/5waltvahl/full/) how to screen capture (http://postimage.org/app.php) [(http://s20.postimg.org/k40aiin6l/WP_20160525_15_20_37_Pro.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/7pdii6vo9/full/) how do you print screen (http://postimage.org/app.php) [(http://s20.postimg.org/8g68nyy1p/WP_20160525_15_20_53_Pro.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/9v7tcoz4p/full/) photo hosting sites (http://postimage.org/) Title: Re: Strange 'Cottonfields' Release - Help required Post by: KDS on May 25, 2016, 07:45:31 AM Since it's spelled "Cottonfields" instead of "Cotton Fields," I would think it's likely the 45 single version rather than the version that appeared on 20/20.
Of course, I'm not sure of the origin of that LP you have there, so anything goes. Have you played it? I was just wondering if it's actually The Beach Boys or some "Drew's Famous" type of soundalike songs.

Yep, I agree with your assumption - Love to play it BUT don't currently have a record player ::) Title: Re: Strange 'Cottonfields' Release - Help required Post by: Steve Latshaw on May 25, 2016, 12:05:45 PM Those were all hits at about the same time in 1970... Elvis had a huge hit with Wonder of You.... Three Dog Night's Mama Told Me... etc,
