Single Sided Little Ben and the Cheers .... Real ? Penny

[Blackpoolsoul]

I have "Never More" on Penny.

The Reverse is blank white and states in red print "DO NOT PLAY THIS SIDE" (Top half label) "THIS IS A SILENT GROOVE TO IMPROVE THE MOLDING OF YOU PRESSING" (bottom half label)

Side A runout is etched 106 A L, then a stamp which is a small 8 (shape) on it's side

Like some info if anyone knows please

I would say you have some kind of "pressing" that was probably made in the U.K.- if it was a U.S. promo, it would have said "... to improve the MOLDING of your pressing".

According to discogs, a single sided promo does exist for Penny #109- "I'm Not Ready To Settle Down" by the Cheers. They don't show the flip side label or mention it but, Motown used the same language on their single sided promos so it could be legit.

Good artist/group. I am led to believe that Ben kept the 'little' until his father passed as a mark of respect as his father was also an accomplished singer.
