Although I've known this for 25years and had handfulls of US issues, it's the first time I've come across a pic sleeve. Looks good to me but when it arrived today I found that the labels were reversed.

Has anyone out there got any information on this and were they on general release.

Cheers

Wow thanks for sharing. I pick up anything and everything related to the TSU toronadoes and or Ovide. I live in Houston and have never come across one of these before. Very cool.

I'm thinking then that this pic sleeve didn't get a US release?

Love the cover -a nice bit of artwork IMO

Kev

I've got one exactly the same,from Germany with misspelled Toronadoes on the front and label's reversed and R stamped on both side's.Probably sent over for American forces in the 60s,play's like it was made yesterday.

Could it be it was pulled because they spelt the group name Tornadoes rather than Toronadoes ?.. was it

mis-splelt on the record also?

Snap. only one R stamp on mine. I'm still wondering if they went on general release in Germany with the reversed labels? Or if there are any copies out there without the labels reversed.

Kev

Yes they are mispelt on labels as well.

Can you scan the label Kev ? Looks like a regular German release from the sleeve to me. Although not common there are a fair few spelling/grammer mistakes on Euro releases of American 45s, for instance my German copy of The Masqueraders "I Aint Got To Love Nobody Else" is printed "I Aint Got To Love Somebody Else".

Also my German Joe Simon "Drowning In The Sea Of Love" plays a different track from the LP.

I've also seen the "wrong" artist on the pic sleeve or some unknown "dude" instead of the correct singer.

I"m sure some of the German members will know more about this particular one when they see this thread.

Nice find tho

Cheers Paul

Blimey...you never stop learning new things! In all my 25 years of collecting here in Berlin I have NEVER EVER seen this release. Its unbelievable to see what has been released here. Just a few months ago a fellow Soul Source posted the scan of a german rel. of the Lollipops "Love Is the Only Answer" and now oyu come with your TSU Toronados!

fantastic.

No, they were pressed in Germany for the German public to enjoy and buy. The members of the forces had their own shops were they bought their own US produced stuff (was much cheaper compared to be buying in German stores).

German Atlantic did release an awful lot of stuff. Sadly theres no discography for it, also not for German Decca, London and CBS and a lot of others...I bet there are still treasuries waiting to be discovered.

The rarest German releases (all with pic covers) so far in my book are

Lollipops

Marvin Gaye (sings in German)

Four Tops (sing in German)

Melvin London

TSU Toronados

..from the top of my head and of to be added and corrected ;-)

Wilson Pickett "Baby Don`t You Weep" and Metros "Since I Found My Baby" are also dear but not as rare as the above

Here are the label scans Paul.

I uses to have a copy of this german release as well. Found it here in Sweden. It also had the labels flipped, so all copies might've been like that. I sold it in November 2006 for $46 on eBay. Here are scans of the copy I used to have:

Here are the label scans Paul.

Yep regular release.........................once again good find tho mate, much rarer than the US I would think, as Marc seems to have confirmed............nice one

Cheers Paul

Thanks for the information guys. I thought it looked a bit special when I spied it. Can't imagine why no-one else bid on it!

What about Mixed Emotions "Gold of my life", must be the rarest?

Seem to remember that was Dutch only to be found (twice) in Germany ?

Aha, my mistake..was sure it was German

Maybe told you this before, but I found a German release of Turnpikes - Cast a spell in Berlin 6-7 years ago, that must be rare

Pretty sure this was a German "release" Marc but really was withdrawn ???

No, the Mixed Emotions 45 is neither a Holland/Netherlands or Germany release.

It has got the SABAM logo on the label which indicates that it was a Belgium release.

Would think so

No, the Mixed Emotions 45 is.....a Belgium release.

Knew it was sth left side the river Rhine

Aha I see...............thanks for clearing that up Sebastian
