It was a big hit both locally and nationally.

They will have just come from different pressing plants.

Canadian copy is also bright red I think.

Canadian issue is Black label, I also have the checkerboard Chess design.

Hi Kev,

You are indeed correct sir. Dug it out, for some reason I thought this was Canadian. Memo to self: Get new specs!

with checker / chess, having the different label designs does not necessarily mean different pressing plants, as checker was constantly repressing titles, you can often find the same title in the checkerboard label, red label, light blue label, etc., often because they were pressed frequently with whatever labels they had at the time, and some are definitely later presses than others. in some cases it's clear what came first but sometimes it is.

Also available on the dark/light blue design:

Hi Kev

I have noticed the different shade of Red.

Can't find the place but have seen a scan.

My copy I bought from Soul Bowl and is Quite Bright in colour.

The other Red is a much Darker Red & to my eyes appears to be an Older Label Batch.

Could be wrong pure speculation/comparison with other Checker Numbers.

here are both

FLIP IT OVER ONE OF THE BEST DEEP SOUL RECORDS EVER IMHO.

That's the one, Looks slightly Earlier to me However possibly around the same time at Original Release.

Probably different Batch, Paper or Printer.

Thanks Kev

Hi Sean

Both Very Nice to Own Mate.

Regarding the Black & Gold UK Issue.

I have a couple of copies on UK Black & Gold Issue, certainly not Mint but looked after Vg+,

I notice that the Gold has faded quite a lot on my copies.

Suspect a UK Mint copy even rarer due to this problem.
