Showmen / The Wrong Girl

Posted

I just picked up a copy of The Showmen, "It Will Stand" / "The Wrong Girl" on Imperial 66033. It sounds just the same as the Minit one, though I don't have that one, to compare it - is it the same recording? When I bought it, I thought it was going to be a different take or something.

Guess I didn't realize there was a more common Imperial release.

good stuff, though!

Think the album track of the wrong girl has two takes, the first being too fast and you can hear someone saying "too fast" on the track, but it's one continuous track.

That yellow one at the bottom is a little beauty ain't it :D

Ted say's Dave Flynn used to reccon there was about 20 takes of it.

As far as I know Juddy, the one on Imperial is anything but common. I've given up logging the Minit copies

I've seen go through Ebay, whereas I've only ever seen 1 copy on Imperial. In fact I was led to believe it was a mis-press as the usual 45 with that number 66033 has 'It will stand' on one side and 'Country cousins' on the other. I'd certainly sell a Minit copy over an Imperial copy anyday.

I was wondering if you'd post about this Dazz.

Remember having a conversation with you about this a while ago. thumbsup.gif

Must admit it seems harder to find than Minit copy.

P.S. there is a proper copy of a certain Doowop/Soul 45 on ebay tonight...(your old Profiles cover up).....not going for it meself, so if you fancy it....

That's right Dazz. I think the fact that there's 22 U.S. copies on popsike & all of them are on Minit, & there's not one on Imperial says it all.

Nice find Juddy! thumbsup.gif

Thanks for the heads up Mace old boy.... just had a quick look and it's already at $225 - is the word out? I'll stick with the boot :D

Hope you are well mate :P

Hi Adey

Long time no see ... hope you are well mate :P

Official then .... Imperial US and London UK are the ones to have

That's good news - I'll play it out on Friday and see if the dance floor fills!

Glad to know that the 50 cents I spent on it wasn't a ripoff! :P

(Also got Eddie Holman, "Eddie's My Name," a cracked demo copy of Della Reese, "It Was a Very Good Year," which I've been able to fix to perfectly playable, and a mint "Aint That the Truth" by Jr. Walker - one of my faves of his - at 50 cents each! It was a very good day...)

To hear more about the bizarre joys of record shopping in Pittsburgh, buy me a pint at the 100 Club or (hopefully) Wolverhampton at the end of the month. :D

cheers,

juddy

nice one thumbsup.gif

is it the album version mentioned? and which album did it come from?

In fact I was led to believe it was a mis-press as the usual 45 with that number 66033 has 'It will stand' on one side and 'Country cousins' on the other. I'd certainly sell a Minit copy over an Imperial copy anyday.

that's correct, imperial one is dog rare and was either immediately withdrawn or a mispress. going by the number of copies around the latter is more likely

Official then .... Imperial US and London UK are the ones to have

Why? The Imperial release is a reissue from 1964. The original release is on Minit from 1962. No matter how rare the US Imperial or UK London releases are, they shouldn't be of much interest if you're into having tunes on their first issue. In my opinion ofcourse. biggrin.gif

not everyone's after the first issues only, some collect more obscure issues or even UK wink.gif

IMHO the ones to have is the one you first come across, be it minit, UK london, imperial or whatsoever legal release. all 3 releases are collectable, no matter which one was the first. i mean 1962-1964, what's two years difference after 40+ years?

nice one :thumbup:

thanks! :thumbup:

"includes original demo recordings" = no original 60s release? some sort of "best of plus a few out-takes thrown in"?

looks very interesting, what label is it?

I've only ever had one copy of the Imperial release. It's very rare. I think we've mentioned this on here once before a long time ago. I don't think the London release is as rare as people think, I've had four or five issues and two demos and thats only when I actively went after it

thanks! :thumbup:

That one's on Charly - original release 62'

That one's on Charly - original release 62'

Don't think so Ian. Specially compiled for that late 80's/early 90's release.

Hmm well Charly wasn't formed til about 1974...

Maybe they meant 'It Will Stand' - Some Folks etc released 62' ....

F***k me Seb, you're starting to sound like Manship :thumbup::thumbup:

And I'm right! :(:(shades.gif

NO ! I'm right ! Even though I know I might not be :lol: ...but if I say it loud enough & lots of times, well, they'll go along with it ! :D

NO ! I'm right ! Even though I know I might not be unsure.gif ...but if I say it loud enough & lots of times, well, they'll go along with it ! :D

Except for me :lol:
