Hi guys,

quick question really.

I have recently sold a copy of this and the buyer think's it is a reissue the one I sold him as the text on the copy is in capitals.

He sent me pic of another one on popsike.com and it does look a little different.

So is the one i sold him a original copy or not?

I got it when i was in USA so just assumed it was original and on original label one-der-ful 4851

the one i sold him:

and the one on Popsike.com

Anyone???????????????

No mention in Manship's 5th or 6th guides about this ever been bootlegged. Going to check my copy now

Never reissued as far as I know Liam, they are just made at a different plant.

Thank you Pete.

That is what i thought, So glad

mine is the same as the one in the popsike picture, interesting to note though that the b-side title "All FOR YOU" is printed in capitols.

That is strange.

Must of been pressed at a different plant like Pete said.

some reverse label copies also......must have been a hit in chicago..common and should be cheap as chips....but a quality 45

Same here. Always believed it to be an original copy. Never big enough to justify Booting i should imagine. Can't see why though, lovely voice, quality track IMHO.

"wait til i get to know you" is brilliant as well.That came out on plain yellow,did "Dont leave me" get released on plain yellow.?

never seen it on yellow kev..................two great cheap common 45`s that we all should own really

derek p did a discog and article on shades of soul eons ago and i seem to remember him mentioning somethingabout pressing variations in there.

Got 8 copies of "don't leave me" as it's fantastic, and yes there are different texts as PeteS said, also "Wait till etc" was relaesed on yellow as well as multicoloured (again got several copies as its so good). To me sounds more Detroit than Detroit.

Regards

They are just label variations, not bootlegs.

I remember it getting a little play on WVON. I certainly wasn't a "hit". I saw many boxes of it at United Record Distributors (owned by The Leaner Bros, (as was One-Derful/Mar-V-Lus/M-Pac Records) as late as the beginning of the 1970s.

"wait till i get to know you" was a hit

it was one of the first import soul 45 i ever bought ..cost me 50p..i was destraught to find out it had reversed labels,,but over the years ive had a few copies and i`m not a dealer..only the first one was reversed...was always very common so assumed as with WTIGTKY that it was a local hit

ive had two copies of this, and the last one i bought off mr manship and i have a scan of the label on my home PC and they are in Capitals

both are real uns as Boba said label variations thats all

Geeoooooordie
