I recently came across a copy of I Just Can't Please You by Jimmy Robins on a label I am not familiar with.

I've seen this track on Jerhart but this is the first time I've seen it on this label.

The label is yellow in colour and carries the number 108, the B side is I Made It Over

Any info would be appreciated

Cheers Alan

Impression is the first label. The song was picked up by Jerhart in Chicago and became a minor hit reaching something like number 55 in the Billboard R&B charts.

Worth a bit more,longer mix than Jerhart.?

Should be worth a fair bit more Kev.

As Russell states above Jerhart is the label on which it was a national hit and we're probably a fair few years away from supply running out on that logo as it seems to have been pressed in the hundreds of thousands rather than even tens of thousands. The Impression release is much, much tougher.

In my opinion the nicest way to have this 45 is the Impression WDJ. UK collectors will probably disagree and point to the President demo.

Impression stock copy is the rarest version. As Kev says, from my memory also, it's a different mix.

As Pikey Russell states above

Didn't say rarest Pete.

Sorry Russell. Your avatar looks a lot like one another forum member used to use.

Not a problem, Gareth. To the uninitiated, all Clangers look the same...

Have a Texas version and a version in Catalan (bonkers that this exists ) , plus the Mica pressing of JR with the great Roy Wright flip

Version as in cover versions by different artists (can't imagine Jimmy singing Spanish but you never know haha, it's by a Spanish 60's beat group)

Also covered by The Loading Zone on their RCA LP with Linda Tillary on lead vocals

I knew what you meant - it was the names I was after. The Texas version is by the Royal Knights? What about the Spanish version?

Hey, Paul - see you later tonight...
