DANHOF, C.J.
On February 21, 1975, Joseph Peter Donkers pled guilty to the offense of delivery of amphetamine. MCLA 335.341(1)(b); MSA 18.1070(41)(1)(b). He was sentenced to a term of a minimum of one year to a maximum of seven years in prison on April 11, 1975. The defendant appeals as of right.
The defendant was arrested for the present offense on September 11, 1974. He was arrested while he was serving a six month sentence in the county jail arising out of a previous conviction for an unrelated offense. Due to a subsequent resentencing on the prior conviction, the prior sentence ended on December 26, 1974. As to the present offense, the defendant was released on bond on January 10, 1975. He had been in jail continuously from the time of his arrest until he was released on bond.
All the issues raised on appeal relate to the credit to be given the defendant for time served in jail prior to his sentencing on the present offense.
The defendant first contends that the trial court *694 was required to specifically grant credit for time served on the record under the mandate of GCR 1963, 785.8(3).
In the present case, the trial court never specified the credit to be given for time served. When asked about this at the sentencing, the trial court stated:
"It was my intent in framing the sentence to in effect give credit for the prior six months served and that's how I arrived at the minimum of one year, after counsel's advice of the relationship  time relationship of that sentence to the present conviction, so in stating the minimum I have in effect given such credit."
GCR 1963, 785.8(3) requires the trial court at the sentencing to state "any credit for time served to which the defendant may be entitled".
As to this credit, the court in Booker v Judge of Recorder's Court, 7 Mich App 705, 709; 153 NW2d 178 (1967), stated:
"The required specific grant of credit cannot be accomplished by the trial court stating he has considered the time spent in jail in arriving at the sentence pronounced nor by a statement that defendant has been given credit for such time. It must appear from the record that such specific grant of credit was made and the manner in which it was made."
Under Booker v Judge of Recorder's Court, supra, it is apparent the trial court in the instant case failed to comply with the mandate of GCR 1963, 785.8(3). It is not sufficient to "in effect" give credit by stating the minimum sentence. The trial court must specifically give credit on the record for time served.
The defendant next argues that he should be given credit for the period he was in jail between *695 his arrest and his subsequent release on bail prior to sentencing.
MCLA 769.11b; MSA 28.1083(2) provides that where a person convicted of any crime has served time in jail prior to sentencing because he was unable to furnish bond for the offense of which he was convicted, the sentencing court shall specifically grant him credit against the sentence for the time so served.
As the above statute is remedial and should be liberally construed, it has been interpreted to give the defendant credit for time served where the defendant was unable to furnish bond while he was in jail after being sentenced in another case. People v Chattaway, 18 Mich App 538; 171 NW2d 801 (1969). See also People v Haines, 24 Mich App 240; 180 NW2d 107 (1970).
The present case does not involve consecutive sentencing as in People v Patterson, 392 Mich 83; 219 NW2d 31 (1974).
Accordingly, the defendant in the present case is entitled to credit against his sentence for the time he was in jail, unable to furnish bond for whatever reason, between the time of his arrest on September 11, 1974, until he was released on bond on January 10, 1975. People v Chattaway and People v Haines, supra.
The defendant's last contention is that this Court can correct his erroneous sentence without remanding the case to the trial court.
This we decline to do. The record is unclear as to what the trial court intended the sentence to be. The minimum sentence was somehow bound up with the credit for time served. Further, the credit should not have been a full six months. Therefore, as we are unable to determine from the record what the trial court intended, we will vacate the *696 sentence and remand for resentencing. People v Hurst, 59 Mich App 441, 449; 229 NW2d 492 (1975).
Affirmed. Remanded for resentencing in accordance with this opinion. We do not retain jurisdiction.
