Ha! Never noticed that. Listened again and melodically it actually reminds me of "Blank Generation"!

Perhaps you've recieved it as a gift. The Benn-X release was pressed in 2002 at United. The U-54857 matrix positions it as a 2002 press. A few other releases with nearby matrix from 2002: U-54815 = 2002 https://www.discogs.com/The-Agenda-Do-The-Crash-Crash/release/2175563 U-54868 = 2002 https://www.discogs.com/Hard-Skin-Black-And-White-Unite-And-Fight/release/5400530

Here is an image from Amnon Feldman's site, with him sitting by a piano and pictures of the Chess 45 on the wall behind him:

Seems more likely that it's Artie/Arthur Feldman that wrote for Rotary Connection. He also wrote stuff for Tenison Stephens, Sonji Clay, Chuck Ray (on Buddah), Rastus (on GRT) etc.

He seems pretty approachable, someone could ask him: https://www.amnonfeldman.com/

Big thanks! The details on the bootleg are similar but everything is hand etched on the bootleg, and the "A1" is missing on the "Legend Of Otis Redding" side. The BOOTLEG has got the following in the dead wax, everything is hand etched: "Legend Of Otis Redding" side W4KM-0276--1 R "Got To Have Your Love" side: W4KM-0277--1 A1- R

Thanks! Are those details machine stamped or etched by hand? Are there ANY other markings in the deadwax?

I'm in the process of updating the Discogs entry for Roy Roberts "Got To Have Your Love" promo 45 on Ninandy so that people can differentiate between the original release and the bootleg made for the Dutch/Surinamese soul scene in the 1970's. The original has got crisp print on the label, the bootleg has got washed out, poor print. If anyone on here has got an original, could you please let me know the full matrix details for each side, or even better, pictures of it. Big thanks in advance! I was recently sold a bootleg as an original for a fair chunk of money on Discogs

As I said: the fast version is an unissued Chess recording, originally released on a Kent CD. I can't see how whatever "remix" burt weedon did has got anything to do with the original question.

The fast version was included by mistake on the "Chess Club Rhythm & Soul" CD on Kent from 1996: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Chess-Club-Rhythm-Soul/release/2959129 They were going to include the original, slower 7" version but used the wrong master tape The fast version was finally released as a 7" in the "Chess Northern Soul Volume II" 7x7" box set from 2016: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Chess-Northern-Soul-Volume-II/release/8965256

Specials on Sansu must be a mistake. The Satch release being from 1976 is also a mistake, it's from 1968 or 1969.

1971 or early 1972.

There's a third version as well, by Ernie Carter on the Action label, utilising the same backing track as Bernard Harper and Bill Freeman. Soundclip and scan below. ErnieCarter.mp3

I don't know what that might be. Would be interested to know more though.
