TOUSSAINT MCCALL: no one takes the place of you / nothing takes the place of you

Hi folks, can anybody confirm, NU Sound press is before the Ronn releases of this fabulous deepie 🙂 Thankns in advance

Malc

Hello Mal, my first thought just by looking at it is it's a later press and could be a Holland boot. After a quick look around Discogs it states the label is a legit one owned by Toussaint. The Ville Platte pressing numbers look like its's a much later press, possibly as late as 1984.

Cheers Alan, thatds good to know...  I have just seen a comment on You Tube, stating that this has a better mix than the Ronn release, not heard them back to back, but I'll try to do that, does anybody else know about these two mixes>?

cheap record, so its not gonna break the bank, but it is oh so good! 

I've got the British Mojo release which states it as a Ronn release so I guess it will be the same mix on that one.Would be interested to hear yours Mal , is there a a video on Youtube or was it just a comment?

Thats the release from around 1982/84.  I believe the original rawer version of NTTPOY was released on an earlier NU Sound M-2/102 release, backed with an earlier version of Barbara West I'm a Fool For You Baby.  The first NU Sound release M-2/101 was Shimmy by McCall. I feel these were re-recorded for the RONN release.  The picture on Discogs is my copy.
