Only Dreaming Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It beggars belief alright. And it's not even the best mix. Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chris Turnbull Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I thought the same, someone had one on here the other day for £50, though interestingly there's only one currently on Discogs (at 50 euros) so can't be that common Is it UK only on 45? I wondered about the mix thing too, are there two different mixes on 45? if so how come? The green one I think is the same as the LP version and appears quicker and more punchy with different backing vocals 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The green one I think is the same as the LP version and appears quicker and more punchy with different backing vocals Indeed the LP cut is more punchier and an over all better production. I've given up on using you tube as a reference for record labels as too many liberties tend to be taken. Of the two posted above, the first one sounds like the Kent 45 version and the pink one is the original album version. The 7" was a UK only release for the soul market and is not rare by any means. I'm happy to be corrected on anything I've said here as it's been many years since I sold my UK copy. Brilliant record whatever, Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soul Shrews Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 And a brilliant flipside (There You Are) which did get released on 45 in the States 50 or 75 seems barmey to me, maybe demand ? Cheers Paul 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mick Holdsworth Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) The Green is the orig UK 45 (presumably the same as the LP ?? - Never had an LP, so don't know for sure). The Pink / Purple version with the Male backings is the Kent 45 from 10 years ago. Here's a link to the Kent 45 with sound clip ... https://www.northernsouldirect.co.uk/millie-jackson-house-for-sale-garland-green-come-through-me-45-kent-7-vinyl.html I think that Pink / Purple image is just a doctored image of a green label, as you can see the reflection in the vinyl at the very bottom is also the same colour.

Roburt Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The silver plastic labels on UK Spring 45's started to appear (on later releases) around early 1979. So was "House For Sale" repressed at the end of the decade ... I guess so. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

MikeHinNewJersey Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 It's the first pressing of House For Sale / There You Are, both sides are marked A side. Later pressings had a slightly different label design, as seen in the you tube clips. Not sure if that justifies a 75 pound price tag though 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul Shrews Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Indeed it was a "Double A side " release originally Cheers Paul 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Reed Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 UK Spring/Polydor changed their 7" design in 1979 think the "Fatback Band - You're My Candy Sweet" was the first one, where the catalogue number on the right hand side changed from horizontal to vertical. Also the 1979 release doesn't state "From the Spring LP Free & In Love", whereas the 1976 release does. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chris Turnbull Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Reckon I've solved it - just checked the link further up to the Kent version and that's the one with different backing vocals - maybe Ady didn't realise they'd used a different version, as has happened before of course Looks like the youtube 'silver' clip I posted is a doctored green one with the Kent version playing Makes sense when I think about it as it was Clegg Sun night a few years ago when I heard the other version Need a lie down now Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

On the Millie Jackson I sold the original LP acetate to a local friend here in Aberdeen a couple of years ago for £30. He still has it as we discussed it a couple of weeks ago!

Ady Croasdell Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Agreed, the backing vocals on the Kent 45 version and Spring Story CD are less pro-active. We used the correct version on the re-released CD of the LP and on the Millie Dancefloor CD but that was the longer LP track. Thanks Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'm sure you are not going nut's, I remember a UK ABC copy of Bobby Hutton selling for £150, why this is, can only be that the buyer is naive, New to the scene, or indeed does not know or has limited knowledge about buying vinyl. I could say that we all learnt the hard way, but there is a part of me who thinks that the dealer has mugged a potential soulster to our scene, and with the wisdom of old age needs a good spank?
