Ok, anything I should look out for when buying this on the Atlas issue? What determines legit/bootleg or all things inbetween ?

Thanks in advance

don't think was booted on atlas? dark  blue issue, white demo and multi coloured label which I would say is the hardest, also was released on atteru and uk sue

Much obliged Russ.

If you are referring to " Keep My Woman Home" it was also issued on US Atteru & UK Sue ...I didnt know it may have been booted?

I believe the Atteru MAY be the first issue. A lot scarcer than the Atlas but supposedly a lot higher quality pressing.

 

Also got re-issued on Unity

 

Good record but being a deep soul freak then the flip "I'm Dedicating My Life" is the side for me

Out of all the US releases of this 45 that I've had, the one on ATTERU sounds the best. Clear, punchy sound. The releases on ATLAS sounds muffled in comparison.

 

Here are the US release of this 45 that I've had, and in the order that I think they were released:

 

Atteru white demo
Atteru issue

---

Atlas white demo
Atlas blue issue
Atlas multi-coloured issue
---
Unity issue

 

I used to think that Atteru was the local Memphis release before being leased to Atlas.

 

I knew of three variants of the Atteru demo's, but didnt know of the issue.  Two of the Demo's dont mention any distribution information, but one has it distributed by Joda in NY.  I would love to see a scan of the issue to see if it mentions Joda?

This looks to be an issue John

Ooohhhh that yellow is really pretty, i want one......

That's the first Atteru stock issue I've seen. Nice one! $22 too - bargain. ;-)

So what's the story behind how Danny White got his hands on these 2 top-notch Hayes / Porter songs in 1966 ???

Surely just about every soul artist would have given their right arm for such an opportunity back then, after all they were proven big hit song writers by then.

I know they had already provided songs for two of Danny's earlier Frisco 45s but how come a Stax artist didn't have 1st refusal on these songs ?

Perhaps they had?

Tony Rounce might know as he's been playing around the Memphis vaults and compiled the Danny White CD for Kent?

Atteru stock copy...found it today...first one I've ever turned up...and as Seb pointed out in the past the sound quality is crisp and clear...and a LOT better than the Atlas copies.

Same question goes for Charlie Rich recording "Love Is After Me".
