Indeed. The "Stop Girl" 45 is from January 1968.

See my previous post above. The faked "Nashville Matrix" on the ebay copy is placed in the wrong postion. It should be placed between two grooves in the run-out.

The Nashville Matrix stamp on the record on eBay is definitely faked. It's not placed where it's supposed to be. It should sit BETWEEN two grooves in the run-out. "Being Without You" side stamp on the ORIGINAL looks like: "Baby, Baby" side stamp on the ORIGINAL looks like:

Great 45. Don't know the identities of the vocalists sadly. There's at least one other 45 on the Velvet Sound label, by Billy Soul: https://www.45cat.com/record/2685us

Yes, the MONA label release is the first local issue of this 45. The Houston Records pressing plant matrix on the MONA release, "LH-4693" and "LH-4694", places it as being a mid-to-late 1968 release. It probably sold well locally (or as someone suggested, was part of the Peppermint Harris deal) because JEWEL picked it up for national distribution and it seems to have been released in November or December 1968 (the cat# preceeding the Ola V. Harper 45, JEWEL 796 "Wig Wearing Woman" by Lightnin' Hopkins is mentioned in an issue of Billboard Magazine from November 1968). JEWEL seems to have had a big seller on their hands with the Ola V. Harper 45, because it's a common 45 with at least 5 different label/pressing plant variations. Although the MONA issue is more desirable, both the MONA and JEWEL releases would be considered OVO to all but the most rigid puritans in the same way that IMPEL and SOUND STAGE 7 issues of Ann Sexton's "You've Been Gone Too Long" and DESPENZA and WAND issues of Ivorys/Ivories "Please Stay" are considered OVO. As for copies of the MONA 45 being sold, here are 7 copies sold during the past 10 years, with prices ranging from $32 to $61: https://gripsweat.com/item/381699769602/tx-rb-northern-soul-ola-v-harper-mona-7001-resisting-i-wanna-weep- https://gripsweat.com/item/310879445306/rb-soul-45-ola-v-harper-i-wanna-weep-mona-hear https://www.popsike.com/RB-45-OLA-V-HARPER-I-Wanna-Weep-MONA-HEAR/310675938006.html https://www.popsike.com/NSoul-Ola-V-Harper-I-Wanna-Weep-MONA-HoustonTX-djcopy/170577162573.html https://www.popsike.com/OLA-V-HARPER-I-Wanna-Weep-Houston-Texas-Hear/170566241603.html https://www.popsike.com/OLA-V-HARPER-RESISTING-MONA7001-PROMO-NORTHERN-SOUL/390243428295.html https://www.popsike.com/LISTENRare-RBNorthern-Soul-45Ola-V-Harper1st-Press/180295570631.html

Must likely just a mistake or due to lack of time/attention. I guess they licensed the tracks from Fred Smith and just slapped his name on them for some reason.
