Hi again , An updated with the matrix numbers. From the one with red letters. I'm not an anorak but according the information on Discogs it's from Houston Records pressing plant. Date 1978:
Hello everyone,
I have a series of doubts about this 45:
The copy on the left is the one you usually see but about fifteen years ago I bought the other one on eBay. The seller was Japanese and I seem to remember that he advertised it as original. I've never seen one and I haven't found one again either....and I have looked for it a lot.
After seeing a comment from Jerry Cummings on Discogs I contacted him. He claim on the page of this record on Discogs that it was a Bootleg since he had never officially published it. He told me by email the following:
"The black and yellow is what I printed back in 1978. But never released it publicly. Somehow somebody did...... Well I guess it was a hit that I never released. I left a couple copies in New York in 1978 with Columbia Records and that was the last time I saw it until now"
He don't remember the Orange with red letters. It has a different design and a different serial number too. The vinyl also seems thicker. I will to upload quality images about the incriptions in the matrix of both records.
I'm from Spain so I can only trace when it started to be played in UK through literature. I have checked in my old Soul fanzines and the first reference appears in a Voices from the Shadows from the Early 90's. Off course I'm talking about the yellow copy with black letters.
Musically I have always liked it a lot "All I do is think of you". I think is a great song. In case anyone is interested , Jerry Cummings has a book about his life:
Amazon.com: From Gold to Glory: 9781637692486: Cummings, Jerry
I would appreciate if anyone can provide some more information about the history behind these pressings.
Thanks in advance!
Ismael
