Just looking at scans of this, as you do... and noticed these two below, ones R-146 and looks the original deal to me, the other has TR-155 and looks like a very modern Graphic picture of a label, something used to print or produce labels, so all this leads to the question, has this been re issued on a lookalike 45?

 

Cause if it has, I want one till I can afford a nice original, any advice or the 45, gratefully appreciated.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Malcolm :thumbsup:

 

 

the second one says "licensed by jimmy ellis" which is sort of alarming. but it could have been licensed in the '70s.

Looks as if it's a reissue Malcolm  https://tramprecords.bandcamp.com/album/ltd-edition-7-jimmy-ellis

Thanks Bob, I didn't notice that, but that label is modern isn't it, has to be a recent re issue..?

 

Ahhhh.....Very Swift, cheers mate..

christ have you seen how many this lot have re issued on look a like labels?

I have an Orange label T-146 issue. The Red looking lable may just be a poor scan. I would say the 155 issue is some form of reissue with the artists permission.

Tramp Records (Germany) also included the track on vinyl double LP & CD "The Story of Jimmy "Preacher" Ellis 1963-1972" put out in 2013

When we had Jimmy "Preacher" Ellis in Brooklyn for a show at Dig Deeper a few months ago, he was very enthusiastic about the work that Tramp Records did licensing and reissuing his material, which would include this 45.

Reissued last year, late, yes Tramp….

I would think so, esp. given that it looks like they licensed everything from him...
