Morning all, I need a bit of help identifying the label on a couple of UK test presses i have. I think they might be Curtom but i need comfirmation.All i have to go on is the artist and a stamped matrix in the runout.

1. The Impressions, Sooner Or Later / Miracle Woman K.16563.A1 (I know this got a release on Curtom)

2. Patti & The Lovelites, I'm The One That You Need / Love Bandit K.10629.A1

Thank's

Phil.

They sound like Atlantic test presses.(when they were distributed by Warners in the 70's)

Impressions definitely came out in the UK on Warner Brothers.

Not got any books to hand at the mo' but i don't recall seeing Patti on a UK 45 - If it did come out though, i guess it would be Atlantic. If it never eventually came out in the UK, that would make it a nice little rarity you have there. Great version of 'Love bandit' by the way!

Cheers
