Dave Pinch Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Later 1976 issue done by the artist I think... Not a bootleg.. Remixed a bit too... Always sold as an original Edited September 8, 2018 by dave pinch 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Always sold as an original I have no idea whether "real" but first time I saw this was when Sousson turned up at the Mecca with it along with those "good" replicas of Salvadors [and others I've forgotten].

I think he got Kenny to re record it Rod mid 70s.. We could argue that it wouldn't exist if not for the scene Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Corbett80 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Are we talking about the Goldspot release? If so pretty sure this is the 1971 original QCA pressed first issue, with GAR following on. The lowdown from Kenny's own mouth can be found here: https://www.shakeitrecords.com/cincinnatisoulspectrum/smith/index.html Also: And I've also spoken with quite a few collectors about this who've all confirmed the same. You can hear it differs as it's rawer than the later GAR cut. Cheers, J Edited September 16, 2018 by corbett80 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
