looking for a copy of the capitols cool jerk/hello stranger.

not easy to get clean copies of this I bet.

i expected to be flogged with pm's but nowt!

Look on this link and tell me which one mate and I will see if I have a spare on that label design. There are a couple of different blue ones with lines

pm'd you richard

the capitols - hello stranger.

My fave version of this classic track...by a country mile

Tim Brown has an acetate of this for auction. Just listed. Current bid £200.

just had a listen...is it me or does it skip?

Yes, there's some sort of blip. Is it different to the issued version? If so, perhaps added on purpose?

if you compare the acetate to the first press on karen its the same,even though the description on tb's says its different,however when compared to the later press on karen it is different.

Ahh..Is the one you describe in the "want" the first press? Doesn't seem to be loads about. I thought it was a big hit. Did it get popular on a "soon after" re-release/second issue? Also, which demo's are the first versions?

This is the local Detroit press I believe - same kind of label as Sharon McMahan and the Gambrells - with an 803 prefix

I have this variation and a few others but not my scan (lifted from internet).

Cheers

i dont know much about other presses/runs....but it does seem as though the first presses of hello stranger seem to be same as the acetate mentioned,and later the version seems to clean and somehow loses that more diy feel about it.

this first press is the same as the acetate,and a much better rare soul sound about it.

this later press,the sound seems to new and clean,and dont sound as good i reckon

I have just bought a copy of it for the cool jerk side. Thought I would flip it over and listen to the other side, what a fantastic track, I didn't know of it before. The copy I have has the two silver lines and sounds like a great version to me.
