Guest gerrymcw Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 anyone know deal with this variation on typeset is it a boot, legit re-issue or just variation of orginal 60s issue cheers Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 That looks like the one I have, some came with the talking intro (the one pictured) some without so those missing the talking intro just has the title 'Dead End Street'. Of course everyone knows the intro version is the best by far! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Apologies if it's just the typeset/font you're talking about Gerry. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest MrC Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 A fantastic tune, no matter what font was used! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest gerrymcw Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 cheers for reply guys - just curious as most of these i've seen have the much bolder type set - in fact same applies for most capitol issues i've got/seen Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest MrC Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 cheers for reply guys - just curious as most of these i've seen have the much bolder type set - in fact same applies for most capitol issues i've got/seen I would've commented a bit more, but am at work and can't actually see the picture you've inserted in your post. I do have 2 issues and a demo at home, and I'm pretty certain they typeface is a bit bolder/larger on one of them, but then I have been wrong before!! I will dig them out and take a look tonight if you've recieved no responses to your actual question by then!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Pinch Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 just general info in case you didnt know. this record reached no 29 on the pop charts in the usa so a few pressing plants were used hence the different typeface...it was reissued on capitol starline series in the early seventies all with the spoken monologue....the uk copy misses the spoken monologue and goes straight into the song dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Swaggy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi all brill record but nobody's put the demo up yet so here it is. Lou won a 'Grammy' for this record as best R'n'B single in 1968 (its on his Wikapedia).

Gene-R Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Not sure if the "Too Much" LP was released in the UK - but the US release has Dead End Street complete with monologue. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Benji Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 What I like about the record that the monologue version does pretty good when played at clubs. usually spoken intros are not favoured by the dancers in my experience. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tiggerwoods Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Found a few aussie releases of this when I was there....one shop ownwer told me the other side was a hit down there - tar and cement i think its called.

Citizen P Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Whilst we're on the subject of Mr. Rawls, what's the score with Breaking My Back?? Seen it on the Capitol special products and i've got one of those juke box Mini LP things with it, but did it come out on a "normal" Capitol 45 ??

Had two purple issues and a dj stamped copy which i kept....spoken intro also! Have we got cross threads here ? "Tar and Cement" is the flip to "Piece of the sky" by Verdelle Smith - still to be found on Aussie purple Capitol in record shops down here. The Lou Rawls "Dead end street" on Aussie purple Capitol has dried up a bit. It's flip is the same as on the US release. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
