Anyone know the story behind the G&G release credited to Sir George ? The Perfecta release would be an American pressing featuring the odd quote 'produced by W. Glenn Record Co. Canada'. Perfecta also saw another release 'hey footbal' making it part of Gino's stable of labels with the uncany cataloging numbers and extensions that is so typical of him.

Now I kind of wonder if the Perfecta came out first. Which I'm lead to believe it is. Featuring complete informations on the label for one. Where the G&G release info on the label is like left blank... For two the design and all of that G&G press doesn't look that old like the Perfecta is. Although I'm yet to have a Perfecta copy in the hand to tell better from close.

The fact that these G&G copies popped out in numbers Mint like 'new old stocks' somewhere in the mid nineties I seem to remember (or were they just pressed-up back then ?) is also intruiging. Featuring 'flying high' as the 'A' side that came out on the flip 'I'm so in love' (early seventies) and on the flip of 'could it be that I'm falling in love' in 1977 both on Atac.

Either way these G&G presses have now dried up and command big enough money for those who wish to own the beautiful, sweet'N'hypnotic 'I lost you girl' on 7". I vaguely remember something claiming that these G&G were Canadian pressings. Was it in a John Manship auction 'blurb' or something like that I can't be certain but that's what I recall.

Anyone ?

Can you remember where you got the 1983 date from when you asked about this topic in 2010?:

It's actually taken from the "image" of the discogs entry page for that record. It was added by a British contributor and seller in 2017. Robbk is a member on site since 2010. The post of his in the link follows this quest actually hoping to reach others with other knowledge...

Actually, I started at Soulful Detroit in 2001, a few weeks after their forum started up.  That 2010 starting date reflects the date when their Administrator, Lowell Boileau, re-instated that forum, on a new platform.  The 1983 assumption came from the 19.8.83 handwritten on the G&G record's label.  Which, incidentally, is NOT written like an American or Canadian, but rather like a European (based on the long hook on the numeral 1).
