Thanks Steve and everyone, I think I've secured one.

[soulman]

Got one if you haven't

[Grayman45]

Hello there. Just been browsing old wants. Have you still got a Larry Houston, Let's Spend . . . to offer by any chance?

This isnt the 1st issue is it though? thought I'd seen it with a different font and colour logo, can anyone confirm?

[spook]

I think this is the original release, the 80's remix version is the red label.

[Pete S]

I currently have these two copies, the main difference is the typeface, I don't know which is the original and which is the second press

[TOAD]

i think one has a stamped matrix which is the orig the all red is a longer version

On the two I put up above, the lower case title has an Audio Lab stamped matrix, the other has a weird squiggle matrix.

[soulman]

Pete,
The one on the right is the first press. I got (allegedly) the second copy when it started getting plays and as it was going big which cost me £50 at the time, possibly the only record that I would lose money on if I sold it now. The second run has the bigger type font on the white / red label. Then there's the later true second issue with the red label, remixed slighly and without the "Ooh" in the break towards the end. I've also had a twelve with the red / white label that apparently is non -existent, but its out there along with "Promise" that also got a 12 release.

[TOAD]

did this get booted i think so as i had one without a stamped audio matrix

£50 notes back in 1979 is worth about £1000 now
Top Cat..... what a record, I'm sure I would of paid that it was massive.

I'd have paid that to have it destroyed.

Just to put this "2nd issue" stuff in perspective, I contacted Larry early in 82 and he sent me 25 copies @ $1 a piece and it included both "first" and "second" issues. Steve

[daved]

Is the all red label an original?

[Steve G]

I am talking about the two types Pete S has illustrated. I reckon Larry just got another load done, and that they were fairly contemporaneous time wise.

So having read all the above information - is it now clear to firmly establish that the original/first press can be identified as follows :

A - Lower case lettered title.
B - Time of 3:04
C - Audio Labs stamped in run off
D - Hand etched number of HFM 001B also in run off.

Yes ?

As Pete's copy on the right in post 9 - correct !!

thats what it looks like nick.. but steve g is saying the upper case copies were done pretty much soon after.. is there another label sign all one colour.. redddy orange ..and when was that done

Is it safe to assume Dave,

that the "all coloured label" is the boot, as all the HMFP recorded products had the same common label design. So is HMFP 1005 the longer version on a 45 ?


Bet Mr Glyn Thornhill could shed some serious confirmation on the above, well hopefully.
