Bobby Paris / H.b. Barnum - Legitimate Release?

Posted

Hi all,

 

This has probably been asked before, but can anyone clarify please whether the above record, Bobby Paris - I Walked Away / H.B. Barnum - Heartbreaker on British Capitol CL 16067, is a legal release, and exactly what year it came out?

 

Much appreciated

John

think it was released in 1979 and probably a legit release

It was for sale in Randells record shop in Coalville at the time and they wouldn't have had bootlegs so my guess would be just a proper release.S.

Exactly Pete!

H.B.Barnum 'Heartbreaker' got re-issued on UK Capitol again, on orange Capitol with 'Searching For My Soul' on the flip, perhaps this one came before the red one coupled with Bobby Paris?

EDIT: Just realised, this orange one is the first UK 45 release, right? 70's label design, 60's recording.

The red one came out slightly before the lp capitol soul casino. Bobby Paris wasn't on the lp

Many thanks to everyone who contributed. :yes:  So long as it's legit, I'm ok with it. Tidied up a question about the other one with 'Dr. Love' and 'Sweet Sweet Love' as well.

So the orange 45 is the first release?

 

Yes, 1975 or 76, then as everyone says, it came out as the B side of the Bobby Paris release in late 78 or early 79

Not sure but am I right in thinking they brought an LP out first with them on and others, then the singles came out later. I'm sure I've got the Capital LP on a shelf somewhere.

no. The 45came out first i sold it because both sides were ment to be coming out on the LP which bobby Paris didn't. Eventually i picked up the UK demo very cheaply

Beat me to it Grant. I bought the LP for the Bobby Paris track. Steve

As I said I think the album came out first so we would buy it, then the 45's.

Think I will play Bobby on Saturday night at the Radcliffe Allnighter if I get the chance.
