By the way, why should it have a "Nashville Matrix" stamp?

Cause the others have one, maybe not a "nashville" but a machined stamp like three little S's sure the experts have a name for them like daisy wheel,frankford/wayne etc.

You probably mean the "ARP" stamp. Many of the locally released VEE JAY and EXODUS 45s has indeed got an ARP stamp (i.e. the mastering and/or the pressing plates were made at American Record Pressing Co. in Michigan).

But the 45 you're asking about was most likely pressed somewhere down south and the plates were not manufactured at ARP (hence not having an "ARP" stamp in the run-out groove). I don't know the name of that particular pressing plant, but many US labels used it and many of those 45s have got fairly scant details in the run-out grooves (sometimes just a scratched in matrix number and a signature).

Here's a FAME label 45 by Dan Penn under his pseudonym "Lonnie Ray" that was pressed at the same plant as your Fred Hughes 45:

Thanks Sebastian.

Not sure on the Canadian argument. Here are 2 Canadian Vee-Jay pressings and I have only seen this particular style:

I have given up on the Canadian idea they're nice

had no idea this design was Canadian ... but here's a demo in the same style

the blue you see in this one Ken, is blue

Dont think that is Canadian Mike. Canadian would have the Distributed by Quality on the label.

I think you have shown the US promo as it is the same as the ones I have - Ballads etc etc
