NS KTF 1715 Precisions A Place - YouTube
A. FOR THESE TWO SIDES, THE PRECISIONS WERE DOWN TO A QUARTET AGAIN (BILLY PRINCE, DENNIS GILMORE, MICHAEL MORGAN, ARTHUR ASHFORD), HAVING LOST RONALD DAVIS; THE REASON USUALLY GIVEN FOR HIS DEPARTURE IS THAT HE WASN'T ENERGETIC ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP ON STAGE - AND THE ABOVE PUBLICITY PHOTO SHOWS WHY!; "A PLACE" OPENS WITH A YOUTHFUL FEMME VOICE REMARKING THAT "IT'S SO CROWDED IN HERE"; THIS WAS DELIVERED BY SANDRA NEAL, A SECRETARY GIVEN HER BRIEF MOMENT OF FAME FOR THIS ONE TUNE; "A PLACE" JUST MANAGED TO SCRAPE INTO THE BILLBOARD R&B TOP FIFTY; IT WAS TO BE THE GROUP'S LAST SINGLE ON DREW, WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY AXED; THEY HAD TWO MORE SINGLES ON THE ATCO LABEL, THEN BROKE UP

"NEVER LET HER GO"

Precisions Never Let Her Go - YouTube
B. NOT AS INSTANT AS MANY OF THE PRECISIONS' OTHER RECORDINGS, "NEVER LET HER GO" HAS MORE RECENTLY ENJOYED FAVOUR WITH THE CROSSOVER BRIGADE - AND IT'S CERTAINLY ONE OF THE GROUP'S MOST PASSIONATE PERFORMANCES, WITH THE LEAD OF RICHARD PRINCE SOARING ON HIGH; BOTH SIDES WERE AGAIN ARRANGED BY MIKE TERRY, BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME THE NAMES OF FRED BRIDGES (AKA LaVON BRIDGES), RICHARD KNIGHT AND BOBBY EATON APPEAR AS WRITERS/PRODUCERS; THE TRIO ALSO MADE UP THE FAMED BROTHERS OF SOUL GROUP, PARICULARLY RENOWNED FOR THEIR RECORDINGS ON THE BOO LABEL
