Yes it was Dave and I was going to say that there seems no logic as to why The Orlons came out on Planet - but the then self-distributed Calla label could place their product with anyone
Don't know if this as been discussed before, but I'm sure people will be up for discussion again.
Looking through the UK Cameo Parkway listings, most, if not all of the soul releases came from either Cameo or Parkway as you would expect, however, Doris Troy was released on Calla.
The first thing is, why was this selected as to be released on Cameo Parkway? Did Calla lease to any UK outlet as JJ Jackson (But Its Alright) was rleased on both Polydor (was this withdrawn) and Warner Bros.
In addition the Doris Troy release does not share the same B side, "Heartaches" on Calla and "But I Love Him" on Cameo Parkway. The subsequent release in the UK on Toast has "Heartaches" on the B side and the Mojo release has "But I Love Him", not sure what the B side is on the Pye release.
This all seems a little confusing to me and any info would bee appreciated.
