Think its a single as well as LP, never seen a Philips but have seen Murco ? with Hazel singing without the band Out Of My Life.

Sorry should have said, Dutcch/German Philips.

What do we think pricewise for the Smash LP these days?

The US release usually sells for $75-$100 on eBay these days.

The superior MONO release is much harder to find than the STEREO release though. There goes about 5-10 stereo copies for every mono copy that turns up.

The Philips one, I remember buying this off Mark (Resolution Records) must have been about 1994, couldn't believe it when I saw it, I thought it was a UK pressing, looks identical to the British Philips label, in fact I printed a scan and did an article on it in my magazine Beatin Rhythm at the time because it caused quite a fuss in those pre-internet days.

A few years back I wrote to someone selling an 7" acetate on ebay ( think it was from Australia ? not too sure)

They wouldn't accept my word that his acetate was just the Tempests album track, under another name.

Wish I'd kept the scan now, from memory this acetate declared " Bobby Paris ", and the seller insisted that this is who the singer was !

(my mind has gone blank on it now, this was one that Guy H. broke wasn't it ? 99% sure that it was covered up as B.P. tho')

Bloody hell...memories getty fuzzy it appears...could have sworn I remember Keb playing it at Stafford as Bobby Paris...first signs of dementure?

Mind you it was 25 years ago so hopefully I can be forgiven!

It was released in Holland under the title "Well Tempered Soul" - not Would You Believe.

They used to re-title tracks over here and also sometimes lose things within the translation...one that makes me smile and I'm sure you'll appreciate it Gene, is for the Temptations', ' Beauty is just skin deep'...on the sleeve it says 'Beauty is just shin deep' and if that's not bad enough the rough translation for the Japanese characters used is actually, 'Good looking girls are dangerous'!

I think they had two covers one for the Germans "wyb" and one for the Dutch "wts" but both German pressings ? or Dutch both the same anyway.

Yes, it finaly made it onto CD in 2007...I know as I co-wrote the sleeve notes! (POKER Label - DECKCD100)

Here is my WD (mono) of the LP...and the CD....and a red label stock copy (stereo).

:lol:

I have a copy on CD.

well worth getting hold of.

A couple of bonus tracks too.

And the sleevenotes are well worth a read.

Stu.
