hi all, we all know different takes on 45s, some 1, 2 and more

came across this one

cre-shendos - this must be love - aquarius (flip to youre still on my mind)

just picked up the green and gold copy, which i havnt had before, had a couple of the black and gold

design which i have just sold a copy, played both and found they are different takes,maybe hence

why the different label colouring?

any other 45s on the same label have diffo takes with different label colouring?

happy soulin

whoa I never knew this specific variation, thanks for pointing it out. I need to get the green one now. Are they the same length, just a different vocal take? Are there other differences?

there are tons of examples of this. for example, the green label copy of lashawn collins have some extra bells / chimes added. another one is that the two label variations of the Si-Berians on Ricardo are totally different mixes, the vocals are more upfront on the version with the darker orange label and larger, cruder logo.

It always amazing me how the rarest records that exist often have multiple pressings with slight differences.

boba, the green label version is more rawer and i think is better, different intro/backing track and slightly diferent vocal

the "youre still on my mind" side are the same

i presume the green/gold design is the first take? hence harder to come by...

I don't think you can tell it's the first take. Lots of times people kept messing with their mix, etc., and a later press could be rarer (doesn't mean later like years later, could be a week later). Are there any clues in the dead wax that would say which was first?

ramona collins - you've been cheating - clarks long and short intros

emanuel laskey - dont lead me on - thelma 2 different takes

showmen - our love will grow - swan piano intro strings intro

syl johnson - do you know what love is - special agent 2 or 3 different takes

lashawn collins - sincere 2 or 3 different takes

sonny fishback - heartbreakin man - out a site 2 different takes
