GSF-S1011A-Z-5 1 * (Side-A)

GSF-S1011B-Z-5 1 * (Side-B)

(in the dead wax, there is a sideways 1 and a "*" also the "Z-5", Are hand scribed and the rest are stamped).

Thanks very much Kris for your help,

all the best

the card that the cover is made from is different as well think the re-issue is a lot thicker (may be wrong)

A few versions of this, isn't it true that a 2nd copy on GSF with the White sticker mentioning ' Contains the hit single i'm your pimp' is sometimes sold as an original when in fact it isn't ?, plus there is an Italian and Venezulean copy from 1973 GSF, plus the later re-issues from, 1994, 1995, 2005, 2009 plus 2011, it's such an demand LP from those who like to 'Mix' and use the 'Breaks' etc as well as funk/soul fans, so always considered the original GSF-S-1011, without the sticker and a gatefold cover....But i'm never 100% sure, just what i've read, seen, been told over the years...

That one with the sticker IS an original though, it was available quite widespread in the UK in 75 and 76 at the same time as the one without it...of course I'm Your Pimp was never a single so it does make you wonder, maybe they were made as exports to the UK deliberately
