As far as I'm aware this was released 3 times, Mala (promo), Atac (promo) & Atac (stock). I received a Atac copy through the post today, which I won on Ebay a week or so ago. Anyway I digress, What's puzzling me is that on the Atac promo listed on John Manships Gino Washingtons name is spelt with an i, however on the stock it's spelt with an e?? Can anyone shed any light on this for me, as I hadn't noticed it on the listing . Anyway here's a scan of the copy I've got.

Forgot to mention, which order were they released?

Dave Rimmers site has it as Mala '68, then Atac Promo & stock '69, but on soulful detroit forum it says Mala '69 . Anyone know any different?

I've always wondered that myself , I have often wondered if it had anything to do with the UK market and the USA market . I await more info , btw my Mala demo is spelt with an ''I''

Has to be r/w Detroit ATAC 1st, then the west coast(RPR distributed, home to Jimmy McFarland),then Mala in my humble opinion.

I'll humbly agree with your humble opinion, squire!

Was it not demo'd on the r&w copies?.Only West coast (with an "I",white dj..) copies.?.Could it mean that the West coast needed it pushed a little more - for Like my baby(not, I'll be around)?

Great double sider, I have the white ATAC one.

just played the red one on here,the beep, beeb,beeb, intro seems longer

or is it just me .

maybe why the Altrosonics get a mention on it
