75 - Lady lady lady - Boogie man orch

[slickscarlett]

Hi, I'm new here (not to the site, just as a member), what is the film that this track is a theme from? I've loved this for such a long time, it has always irritated me that it's not on a 12, I want a full 10 minutes of this bliss!

Slickscarlett: My compliments on your fine sense of taste!

From what I remember when it came out, "Lady, Lady, Lady" wasn't originally from a soundtrack. I do remember hearing it used as background music in a movie later, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. Maybe someone else here can.

You're right, there's no 12", but there is a 5:00 extended version:

and it's quite fabulous. One of the gems of my collection!

There's another thread here -

- about this oddly facinating record.

But that album tmob ! How fantastic ! :

Edited due to confusion with another track.

Did the record have an instrumental flip side too?

Yes the US 7" version's side A is instrumental only, (3:19) this instrumental was the most popular version.

That's the one that I have. One of those songs where the instrumental works better than the vocal.

This is the vocal 1. Great track, but yes, the instrumental is the version to play!

Sorry, I meant the B side to that original released version. I was wondering if it had an instrumental mix and if it was the same length as that later release.

Nice to see this exploratory song getting a fairly universal "thumbs up".
Dramatic marriage of funk and orchestra a la Isaac Hayes/Barry White..... ongoing wah wah , swirling strings , occasional harp strumming ..... and ample french horns .....


I'm wondering if this could be the only disco record where the "A" side is the instrumental and the "B" side is the vocal ????
... Poor Mel ! What a distinction !!

I agree Graham. After hearing that vocal, I'd surely stick with the instrumental!!!

I'm wondering if the misleading [Theme From] is really just another way of saying "instrumental"???? As in "Trammps Disco Theme" or "First Choice Theme" which were instrumentals as opposed to "Theme From Shaft" which is obviously a theme song from a movie.

When I saw the [Theme From] I assumed
soundtrack...but maybe it was just their way of saying "instrumental"?

Or Barry White's LOVE'S THEME .
Good call Marky !

Original pressings (like mine) have the vocal on side A. Guess they quickly figured out that the vocal just didn't work.

Was "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" another song to have this distinction? The Canadian 12" doesn't even have the vocal; the b-side is the same instrumental folded down to mono.

Just illustrating here (does have a Costandinos atmosphere) :
