November 7, 200816 yr Have seen other copies of this record without the reservice written on the label does this mean it is a reissue just wondering was going to sell it know its a cheapie £20 quid or there abouts any info cheers Kieran i've seen reservice on a lot of columbia / PIR records, I think it's when they press more copies at the time to further promote the record. I don't think it makes it a 'reissue' any more than any other label variation, etc., from the time of the original press, as at least one of the variations had to happen after a previous one.

They were effectively re-promoting the record, which means that there were two runs of the promos - the second lot being called 're-service' to prompt the radio stations to have another listen. It shows they had faith in the record. But it bombed anyway didn't it? I used to have it and it was just OK, so I flogged it. Is it better than I thought? Ian D

Ian D I have a copy of Webster Lewis' "Do It With Style" (EPIC) with the same stamp, also a demo of Willie Hobbs "Till I Get It Right". It usually says "Special Rush Reservice" and seems to apply mostly to Columbia distributed releases from what I've seen. I haven't heard the Johnny Williams record, but I notice it was written by the fabulous Akines, Drayton, Belmon & Turner who were four-fifths of the Formations I believe.
