Subject: Original Version - Hot Chocolate - You Sexy Thing

Message Detail:
First known as The Hot Chocolate Band, in 1969. After charting records in the UK, but while their chart success was fading, this song was released in the UK on RAK Records, #199, B Side, with "Blue Night" as the A (Plug) Side. Maybe also (promo) released in the US on Big Tree Records. It is written it was an (unknown) American DJ who flipped the record over and spotted its potential. How he was able to persuade, Producer, Mickie Most (known for his diehard mono Herman's Hermits mixes, now deceased), abroad, to modify it and reissue it is also unknown. It is certainly a different "mix" with a noticeable rhythm guitar, in long form, clocking in at 4:00, with double tracking on lead vocals in spots. Some verses (heard here) were later edited out in the US Hit version...

Best,
John
p.s. Howdy, Bob! :-)
