Maxine Brown "yesterday's Kisses"

Posted

I won a job lot of Maxine Brown records (pictured below) for £4.63 and one of them is Ask Me / Yesterday's Kisses.

Yesterdays Kisses is new to me (its from 1963) but I absolutely love it and is so like Kurt Harris's "Emperor of My Baby's Heart" (but a little faster)

Does it get played out? (I don't get out much but will be soon as I am moving back to Aycliffe!)

    They did several PS's around this time - Kingsmen and a couple of others as well spring to mind. You are right probably done to help promote the artist and as a bit of a novelty. Not all copies would

It used to get played out. And yes, you're right, it's a great record.

Also came out on UK Stateside.

I would love to hear it blasted out at a soul night, I might ask for it at one of the Aycliffe or Boro Soul Nights

I've been playing it on and off for 5 years at the Bradford rarer & underplayed events. A quality tune indeed!

@ Pete S, Cheers Pete for info.

Cheers guys, I must get out more... I have been working all the world the last few years but now back in the UK so hopefully get chance to hear some great tunes!

I wonder? Does that mean ALL US releases of this record had a picture sleeve? And if not, how did they decide which would, and which wouldn't get picture sleeves?

Even nicer on a nice white demo Dave!post-394-0-40054100-1347376248_thumb.jpg

Look at that, they've even kept the star in the bottom RH side of the label on the white demo. Cool. :yes::thumbsup:

I wonder if your all white Demos are in fact Canadian Demos? Only, Wand Demos I've got I'm sure say something along the lines of Advanced Copy, whatever?

what a great thread this is , i have been looking at my copy of this ( same as pauls copy that is ) over the weekend, but i just could not decide what title to list it as on Ebay

so is the white copy

1 , white demo

2, white issue

3, white label promo

the reason i put white label promo is the dealer i bought it off said it was , but im not sure it is ,

anyone know what is the best to list it as , thanks Eddy

Did I sell you that white Wand Maxine Brown Paul?

If not, I sold it someone for either 15 or 20 quid.

Had it for months or even 2 years, no interest whatsoever.

That white one is a stock copy as far as I know. It doesn't say promo anywhere on the label.

Thanks pete , so there is no white demos , the only demos i have seen have been p/sleeve ones , that clears it up for me , Thanks Eddy

Is it a Demo, or an issue that's had the black sections accidentally left off? Or perhaps a Canadian release?

just a white issue and yes only worth £10/15 tops. with p/s......£25 on uk issue or at least thats what i sold mine for recently ..but what a record

So how much for a Red & White Stateside Demo?

Oh and I keep playing this and Wilson Picketts "Let Me Be You Boy" great tunes

No Pete - an Ebay purchase, which came with the picture sleeve.

Whoops! Sorry chaps - this is the Demo copy that came with the pic sleeve!post-394-0-34671200-1347437066_thumb.jpg

So what was the all white copy I wonder?

I wonder if the pic sleeve only cane with demos. Fkynny what's hiding inside your sleeve?

Don't think it matters what's hiding inside Flynny's sleeve, sleeves can easily be swapped.

There'll be some rhyme or reason for the picture sleeve releases, I just wish I could get to the bottom of it.

A stock copy...West Coast Monarch pressed...and looking at your demo I'd wager yours is also a Monarch press?

MAYBE the sleeves were used to further expose Maxine to the West Coast audience?

However, as Denbo points out, sleeves and discs may well experience swap-arounds over the years.

This threads just reminded me that I have a copy of this with picture cover but I can't remember if it is an issue or demo. Either way it's going to be up for grabs as I'm selling up bit by bit... and I don't think I've ever played it. Bearing in mind it came from John at the Bowl, that should give you a clue as to condition.

i think the picture sleeve came with the issue.. any demo with it probably was just married up at some point over the years..make it worth a bit more tho ..£30

I hope it goes to a good home, the record is almost 50 years old and I just got mine in a job lot this week, dropped the needle on it and fell in love, I am almost embarrassed by that fact!

Don't be.

They did several PS's around this time - Kingsmen and a couple of others as well spring to mind. You are right probably done to help promote the artist and as a bit of a novelty. Not all copies would have come with PS maybe a couple of thousand.

A very plausible answer to my earlier question(s). Thanks Ste.
