Someone I know has a strange billy stewart record to sell. It is Chess 1905 - "tell it like it tis / sweet seniorita". It is listed in chess discographies as "tell it like it is / sweet senorita" but what I wrote is how it is spelled on this 45. This 45 is a 70s issue, it's the orange and blue GRT press. The guy selling it says that the record was actually never issued in 1964 as listed in discographies (although it must have been scheduled given the #) and that this is the only press of the record that came out in the 70s when GRT was looking for material to reissue. Does anyone know if this is true? I listened to it and sort of believe him because "tell it like it tis" has a stereo mix which wouldn't have been done on the real 1964 release, and I don't know why they would remix it for a reissue.
The guy wants $50 for it, which seems like a lot even if it was a 1964 record and not a 70s random chess title as it's just sort of random. I don't know if I should buy it. If it came up on ebay I'm sure it would just go for a few bucks. Does anyone know how rare this record actually is, know if it is possibly worth that, or know if it did come out in any form originally in 1964? Web searches don't reveal much info. it also isn't even listed as out of stock at recordsbymail.com, I would have thought that they would have had some random 70s chess title at some point. Thanks.
