Posted August 9, 200915 yr Hi Just checking through some stuff I'm selling and flicked through the recent Manship guide for this single. I thought I just had a regular pressing until I saw a £106 figure next to it. Why is this rare, is it a different mix? TIA Brad

Have a look at my thread [well, one reply anyway] from week or so ago. I had WXL as well. Maybe WXB harder to find or just rubbish info. ROD
August 9, 200915 yr I was just reading this and thought I'd check mine out. The only difference I can see is the layout & print on the label? Is there any reason for this??

Yours may have a "Nashville Matrix" at a Guess, looking at the Label Layout. Either way, different pressing plant. Edited August 9, 200915 yr by 45cellar

August 10, 200915 yr Arnt the dates different, 1963 the first scan, 1964 supercorsas scan cant quite make it out but it looks like that with my old eyes lol
August 10, 200915 yr Have we not gone off at a tangent here. The question is not why do these two labels differ. They're both WXL-114312. There is another release with WXB-118209. See here https://cgi.ebay.com/BRENDA-HOLLOWAY-WHEN-IM-GONE-45-TAMLA-T-54111_W0QQitemZ350223027967QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item518aeb4eff&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 What's the difference between these two serial #'s and Brad wonders why WXL seems to be rated more when it appears very common. ROD
August 10, 200915 yr I'm certain that at least two different mix between matrix WXL or WXB. Edited August 10, 200915 yr by 45cellar
August 10, 200915 yr heres another label variant of the wxl mix Scan20299.BMP Scan20299.BMP Edited August 10, 200915 yr by franky m

August 10, 200915 yr This is the Rarer Detroit Mix (DM WXL)............. Dave f.......... Can you explain that Dave? A quick glance at Ebay shows DM WXL to be the commoner of the two. Do you know how the mix differs. Both are stated as 2.05 in length. ROD
August 10, 200915 yr Yes, two subtley different mixes, Brenda Holloway was a West Coast artist, I forget which way it happened but she either flew out to Detroit to record it & then the masters were also taken back to the West Coast & re-mixed for pressing out there while the Detroit mix was pressed out East. Or she recorded that one in LA & the masters then went to Detroit for a remix. In any case there are two mixes, could have been any number of reasons (overdubs, time constraints, pricing, someone screwed up & sent the wrong tape copy to the plant, who really knows), but from memory they aren't that different. I don't even own either copy anymore either so someone else will have to confirm.
August 12, 200915 yr DMW-XL-114312 would seem to be the normal issue. WXB-118209 with alt matrix no of S4KM-0728-1 was issued with a picture sleeve I can remember seeing the alt matrix No copy in a US price guide at $600 about 8 years ago but can't remember who's it was think this also applies to WDJ copies too Ian.
August 12, 200915 yr I'm certain that at least two different mix between matrix WXL or WXB. which mix was the British TMG 508?....Thanks
Hi
Just checking through some stuff I'm selling and flicked through the recent Manship guide for this single.
I thought I just had a regular pressing until I saw a £106 figure next to it.
Why is this rare, is it a different mix?
TIA
