There is two takes, piano intro (the more expensive) and piano and strings intro. I have posted both soundfiles in refosoul and there was a previous topic about this HERE

By the way: the BB label release of "Take It Baby" is a bootleg, NOT an earlier "local label" release as it often is listed as.

OFF CORSE THATS WHY I GAVE NO REAL VALUE TO IT, BUT SAYING THAT ITS WORTH PICKING UP FOR £5 AS IT IS A EARLYISH BOOT, AND FOR SOME STRANGE REASON I LIKE THE EARLY BOOTS FROM WIGAN 73/4 I AMTHAT SAD AS COLLECTOR IHAVE A BOX FULL OF THEM CANTABURY,SOUL TOWN ECT..I REMENBER BYING THE SWEETS ON SOULTOWN IN 73 AND IT WAS NOT TILL 75 I REALISED IT WAS AN ORIGANAL BOUGHT AS A BOOT FOR 30 NEW PENCE.WIGAN THEY WERE THE DAYS FORGET THE TORCH & BLACKPOOL MECCA, WIGAN STOMPED ALL NIGHT..DAVE KIL

BB is a legit label - are you sure it's a boot because I don't think it is, neither does Dave Welding

BY the way, that black Action of Our Love Will grow - £20 but you may get £30

didn't "our love will grow" also come out on itzy ?

didn't "our love will grow" also come out on itzy ?

It did indeed

It did indeed

Tracks to your mind Sounds of the lane was a boot on ITZY, ASs my first copy cost £1.25 from contempo Hanaway street Te West End, December 72 on of corse Cobblestone, The Showman on BB is so close to the ITZY lable its spooky! in some way they are Boots by the main man Simon S however he has got the gift of the gab and as such todays youngsters to me thats 53 and under broberly never met him? although great homage is given to DAVE GODIN for renaming RARE SOUL NORTHERN SOUL and poeple praised him for his COLUM which Dave used to call his nob, GAY.no not Dave, Simon S gave us the sounds to stay up Allnite for, along with Alan Day Tony Gebb Pep Kieth M Richard S Mick S Big Clive Pete Wid Ady baby and a few more the scene would not have lasted as long, why dont someone put out a top 100 of simon dicoveries and you will see what I mean notice I left Ian out but he had the dosh at a time I did not so he could spend shedloads on bulk buying while i was still sticking records up me jumper at MOORES shops...DAVE KIL

FURTHER TO MY THOUGHTS ON SIMON S AND THE BB & ITZY LABLE I THINK THEY WERE PRESSED IN LA. OR WAS IT CANADA? NO LA I AM SURE I THINK YES LA HAS IT ..DAVE KIL

As you stated above, what makes things confusing is that BB and ITZY were (just like LOST NITE) indeed legit labels, and they did issue legit 45s that were't issued on any other labels. But they also re-issued/bootlegged tunes that were popular in the Pittsburgh area and ITZY is actually still going, but are now releasing CDs with "Pittsburgh oldies".

Both the Showmen 45s on BB and ITZY are bootlegs/reissues released in the 60s. The SWAN releases are the originals.

HI LOST NIGHT WAS NOT A BOOT LABLE ITS A LEGIT LABLE EXCEPT FOR 1 BOOT I THINK OR IS IT LEGIT CAUSE SIMON SAYS LEE ANDREWS..SMALL RUN 300 COPYS LEGAL OR NOT.

Is the flipside on UK "You"re Everything" ?

I didn't mean it to read that way. What I meant was that Lost Nite also was a 60s label that reissued tunes that were popular in a specific region. I have no comment regarding if all of Lost Nite's releases were legal or not.
