Interesting thought (may be!) looking at your scan, Chris...all the copyright info and 'stand-up grooves' (to stop them slipping) would have been on the stampers if these were made in the traditional vinyl-stamping manner, so were these made by the injection of vinyl, like they did for styrene?

Good question David, couldn't tell you though, not really sure when it was released either, can't find out of it's a 1st or 2nd issue. No NS anoraks in Holland I'm afraid

Well here's a scan of the cover & label of the original Dutch Bobby Hebb 45 released in November 66 ..........

.... so the one above has to be the 70's reissue (following the 45's UK popularity & re-release) .... 

. AND ..... while we're on Bobby Hebb ..............

. here's a Rhodesian released 45 from him (his 60's big hit of course) ....

Why would it be on styrene, it's just a standard injection moulded monstrosity, they began creeping into the UK in 1971, after that maybe 80% of Polygram records were pressed like that, the one on the scan matches the UK reissue, which is also available as plastic label and, much scarcer paper label.

Keeping with the Bobby Hebb theme ..............

....... a French EP .........

Here they are along side each other.

and the pic sleeve from that EP.

Meandering just a little away from the thread..................here the original and re-issue UK ones, thought the re-issue was release circa 69/70.

Notice how the B has now become the A side.

Not everybody's cup of tea, but here's my French Ray Charles EPs, including 1st and 2nd presses and in some cases 3rd

 

If anyone has any I am missing, please message me

 

This French EP should be worth picking up if only just for "Strange World" by The Majestics

The rumour (pardon the pun) that went the rounds way back then was that "Tell me it is just a rumour" was on Israeli Motown,

we now all know it was actually Dutch.
