Just seen this in sales Shelly Fisher Girl I Love You. and it's says 1972 and a lot of reviews say the original version when Garland Greens was 1967 so how's that, ? Is it a reissue or just a second cover.

I wired up 3 speakers as left and right positive negative then the third was positive positive and when playing Garland Green Girl I Love You off the LP stereo version I got something else.

Dalya Records wasn't around in the 60's and I believe was formed in 1972 or possibly late '71 so I would agree with the 1972 release date for Shelley Fisher's "Girl I Love You".

I checked Discogs and the other side was released in 1970 by Sonny Craver.

Shelley Fisher wrote "Girl I Love You" and Garland Green recorded it first for Gamma records in 1967. As you all probably know, it was then picked up by Revue records for bigger distribution release. It was released by Revue on a 7" single and on the Garland Green L.P. release.

Jacqueline Hilliard started Dayla records in Los Angles early 1972. Shelley Fisher was the first release with "Outside Of Memphis". The flip side was a version of his own composition "Girl I Love You".

I remember the Shelley Fisher on Dayla getting some plays in the 1970's, at Blackpool Mecca's legendary Highland Room. That's where I bought my copy, but it was not a lot of money back then. I think both versions are great.

Extracts from Billboard mag (1972 & 74) ... BTW, he didn't write "Rescue Me" ...

i do think Discogs has her dated incorrectly. was she really born in 1918?, and she was still ( i thought i was definite on this? but will have to find my notes, etc) alive in 1982.

BUT...everything i see wiki, etc, says b.1918 to d.1980.

gonna have to triple check!

I 'm now only questioning the date of death!

happy to be corrected though.
