Following on from the Darkest Days thread here is my ABC copy of Eddie Holman.This copy is Vinyl and has small text credits.As far as i can tell there are two vinyl press text variants and one styrene press all being sold as 1968 originals.Is it a case of west coast -- Styrene and the two vinyl ones East coast.Anyone know for sure.

 

 

Whats the run out details?  The Jackie Lee were West Coast Monarch press.  Not sure about the one in tne topjc mind. Monarch also pressed in vinyl at times and East Coast also had styrene pressing plants. 

Hi Chalky

Run out details are 15404 scratched in

This one on youtube is identicle to my copy is it an original

 

Here is my copy Patto it has 15404 scratched in, and a small 7 and a 3  just up from 9 0.clock.  

Thanks for That Bruv.Slight differences in Text layout but mine has same markings including that 7 and 3

It's a great record, but certainly not rare.  The other side "I Love You" was a good seller in the States in 1969.

The three different label/pressing variations are just different pressing plants used.

It has always been in plentiful supply, and not as rare as the Jackie Lee "Darkest Days" original.

There is definitely a west coast press, has a delta number.  There is an east coast press (above I guess) and probably other areas too. 

Some info here as to the plants ABC used....
