Earl White Jr. is also 100% definitely a bootleg in case anyone is still unsure.

That one looks 100% wrong as well. Wrong typeface etc.

Well, that Al Alonzo Wilson 45 is definitely a bootleg/carver. Just look at it, the label is totally wrong.

Mentioned this in the Satan's Breed thread, but might as well put it here as well. These swirly-look-a-likes look a whole lot like the stuff coming from the Pallas pressing plant in Germany (and its US branch). https://www.discogs.com/label/271440-Schallplattenfabrik-Pallas-GmbH https://www.discogs.com/label/632752-Pallas-USA https://www.discogs.com/label/277449-PO-Pallas https://www.discogs.com/label/137255-Pallas Some examples:

The United pressing plant in Nashville make 7" pressing runs these days with push-out centres: https://www.urpressing.com/7inch.php

The differences are very subtle. During the first chorus on the 45 she sings: "talking 'bout a midnight, ohhhh, midnight affair we're gonna have a midnight, ohhhh, midnight affair", At the same chorus on the LP take she sings it the other way around: "we're gonna have a midnight, ohhhh, midnight affair talking 'bout a midnight, ohhhh, midnight affair", The vocal phrasing and the intonation of the "ohhhh"'s etc are also different on the two versions. Compare below. 45: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtqvKpwduPk LP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvV6ZgANpLg

Nitpicking perhaps, but the version of "Midnight Affair" on the Demon LP is not the same version as on the original 7". It's a totally different vocal take on the LP version and has got slightly different lyrics as well.

That one is also very, very rare.

Popsike shows 22 on Philips and 17 on Blue Rock. Might be some kind of indicator.

Both sides were originally issued as M-PAC 7233. The versions on the Secret Stash bonus 7" are remixed into stereo though. A pity in my opinion that Secret Stash didn't press up some of the unissued tunes instead.

Haha! Ofcourse... Might just be coincidence then, have seen it on other 45's though.

I don't know if this is of any help but the numbering on the Johnny Drummer 45 (PS-113183) should probably be read 11/31/83, i.e. mastered/plated on the 31st of November 1983.

Most people buying that Jerms 45 is getting it for the "I'm A Teardrop" side.

Thanks, Mats! I'm glad you enjoyed the mix!

The white label "Puerto Rico" 45 above is definitely a bootleg. As a side note the original issue of "Night Of The Wolf" was on an Italy 45 on the Cetra Numero Uno label titled "Tema Del Lupo" and credited to the italian artists real names Ivano Alberto Fossati & Oscar Prudente. I guess Morris Levy / Roulette thought it would be easier to sell to the US market as "Al Foster Band"...
