Kesalocasoul Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I am spending the New Year playing all of my vinyl albums some of which, I confess, haven't been out of their sleeves for years. One curiosity (to me) is that according to the track listing on the O'Jays In Philadelphia (Neptune NLPS 202), tracks 4 and 5 on Side One should be "I Should Be Your Lover" and "Looky Looky (Look At Me Girl)" respectively, whereas the record plays "Losing My Touch" at track 4 and then "I Should Be Your Lover" at track 5. "Looky Looky" is not there. Now I must have noticed this forty or fifty years ago, when I first acquired the album, but I can't recall the discrepancy or find a reference to it elsewhere. I do not suppose my album is unique, so I wonder how many were issued, before the mistake was rectified? Did later re-issues have the correct tracks and running order?

Paul Collis Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hi Kevin. Mine plays the correct tracks - I would be your lover at #4 on side 1. Maybe a different pressing plant. Mine has a Frankford Wayne stamp in the run-out and is distributed by Chess/Chicago. What’s “losing your touch” like? Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Kesalocasoul Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Here is an mp3 (if it works). My album is also Frankford/Wayne with distribution by Chess. Mastering by Frankford Wayne is etched into both sides In addition side 1 has NLPS 202 XCSV1422 142635 scratched into the run out (and 18299 scratched through with two lines) Side 2 has the same, but with #18532 [2] and a rather more professionally XCSV142636-1B etched into the plastic.

Paul Collis Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Cheers Kevin. “Losing my touch” sounds like a better track to my ears. Brilliant album overall, and I’ve not seen many around. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
