it was released twice with two flips, I think the soul message press is rarer but less valuable because it doesn't have the "40 days" side.

I would like this myself to complete the label,i remember joe dunlop having one of these for sale a couple of years ago but he wanted £75 for it,up until then i had'nt known of it's existence.Can you put up a scan of it?

atb,Geoff.

wait, "40 days" came out with two flips too, right? "message" and "nobody but you."

what's this "soul message," anyway? instrumental backing to "do you get the message" or a different song?

strangely, what i think of as the most common jimmy scott on giant, "40 days"/"message," isn't even listed on the soulful kinda music discography for the giant label.

Matt, you are correct, but the two records you're talking about actually came out on different numbers. One of the numbers came out with two flips on the same number. So there are actually 3 different Little Jimmy Scott 45s on Giant.

40 Days/Nobody but You released as Jimmy Scott
