Hi

Can anyone help/answer my question? I'm new to the site so I hope I'm asking this question in the correct forum (don't suppose it matters).

The reissue of Jerry Williams 'If you ask me' has a 1973 print on it + the label address is wrong (17 W 60th St). However I've seen 2 scans of 'original ' copies with 2 different addresses. One has 'Calla Records 1631 Broadway'. The other just has 'Calla' (no records) and looks like '1650 Broadway'. Otherwise they look identical.

Are they both originals? Are there other copies with different addresses? Are they the same value? Lastly can anyone advise what is the going rate for an original. Thanks, Paul

around the £150 mark....give or take a few quid.

What about mono and stereo....allway`s thought stars fer mono,and a triangle with some ickle letter`s inside for the other one....

I presume they just moved office. There was periods of inactivety with Calla and also changed publishers a few times.

I agree but see it regular for anything between £100 and £150.

Could say the same about many records Pete.

I maybe making this up but wasnt the first issue released with a bit of orchestration missing ie straight into strings with the de de de de de de de de missing in the middle.............. come on chalky help me out here may have to visit the loft and dig it out just to reassure myself, or was it those heady seventys cocktails that have numbed certain parts of my grey matter

Here's the 1973 reissue.....

Whichever issue, it's got to be one of the all time great Northern Soul records

That's twice the value.

Yes I have actually, but you don't want to buy off me, remember, so whats the point of yet another pedantic childish post.
