Was this released ? the slower version Imean , not the the flip to standing on guard which is over killed with Mr Levines instrumentation in my view , this is much slower and in my opionion much more moody soulful cut. I must say I am preferring this to Jerry Cook , as Jerry is a bit fast for me nowadays,

Ok found it on Blue Cat and Red Bird are they both the same ?

It's the same record, not sure why it's on two labels, it got reissued by Charly in the UK in 75 or 76 also.

Listed on Red Bird, but no copy ever found...more than happy to be proved wrong!

Rare on Blue Cat...I played it at the Capitol Soul Club for the man himself to sing over!

I prefer it to Jerry Cook. Play this out some times,sung by the writer, cracking tune..

I've got the Charly re issue not seen it for sale in ages is it a hard one to get hold of and does it command any value by any chance

It was never on US Red Bird. It was only on US Red Bird subsidiary, Blue Cat. But maybe that listing of Red Bird refers to UK Red Bird? There was no UK Blue Cat. So, I assume that UK issues from Red Bird/Blue Cat stable all came out on UK Red Bird, or not at all in The UK. Isn't that right?

Maybe it was slated for issue on UK Red Bird in 1967, but it was pulled back? Maybe only a few were pressed up (for DJ copies)? I've never seen one.
