Fantastic record. Both sides. I had no idea it was rare the first time I heard it in 2000, but instantly loved it. It took me 10 years to find a copy. I missed out on the copy that Haim Kenig sold on eBay in October 2006. Pomonkey in this thread outbid me on it. As far as I know, six copies are documented. First off, the three copies in NYC that have been there for years (Matt, Honky, Pomonkey). As someone hinted at earlier, the most recent one on eBay (February 2012) went to a NYC collector that already had a copy. He might still have two copies unless he's sold/traded one of them. So that's four copies in NYC. I've got one copy in my collection that I bought on eBay in April 2010 from a US seller after asking the seller to end the auction early. Another copy amazingly turned up on eBay in April 2010 from a swedish seller (not me!). The 45 was found in Sweden in an ex-publicists record collection, it appeared briefly on eBay, but was withdrawn within 24 hours and that 45 was sent to Manship for auction instead. This is the copy which now resides with Soul Sam. Any more copies to add?

Yes, by about five years. But they are totally different recordings ofcourse.

That tune is not for me at all, but I managed to find a photo of the group in a Billboard Magazine advertisment from CJ Enterprises Artist's Management which was based in Phoenix, Arizona. The 45 is from Scottsdale, Arizona so most likely the same group.

Yes, Triangle on AMARET. Similar but inferior to the Bobby Fuller Four version in my opinion.

Yes, there is an issue/stock release of this 45 with "Falling In Love For The First Time" as the b-side. I don't own it, but found a scan of it from a 2012 eBay sale of the 45. Jesse James And The James Boys - Sweetest Little Thing / Falling In Love For The First Time - BUDDAH 315

Interesting that Pic & Bill recorded a version of "I Love You Baby" as well. But I guess the BRENT issue of that Moovers 45 sold quite well.

That "copyright control" logo with a "#" and "b" on each side of a "Treble/G-clef" can be found on many 45's pressed in Holland. Can you locate a three-digit number in the run-out grooves? If you can find the number "670" machine stamped then it definitely is a Holland pressed 45. If not, which numbers can be found?

Some more yellow labelled promos on Smash:

I guess Daryl Hall's originally unreleased version of "Girl, Don't Make Me Wait" would qualify.

I was talking about records produced in the 1960's. The scan you posted is the 1979 reissue.

No, I think you're making it more difficult/complicated than what it is. Loads and loads of 45's that definitely were made for primarily UK consumption had NCB and/or BIEM on the labels. It appears on LPs as well. The NCB/BIEM was on the label so that the record could be sold in those countries as well if need be. Some examples below. All UK pressings of "La Bamba" has for example got NCB/BIEM on the label.

Both the promo and the issue has got "NCB" on it as well which is the Scandinavian copyright agency. This can be found on thousands of UK pressed 45's from the 60's. I assume so that those 45's could rightfully be sold in those territories as well. For example a lot of danish "releases" from the 60's has got a picture sleeve printed in Denmark, but a UK pressed 45 inside the sleeve.

Lots and lots. I don't know for certain, but most likely hundreds. Some labels: Kimley, Crest, Tempe, Cal-Gold, Baronet, Invicta, Gambit, Encore, Gold-Arrow, Indigo, Hank, Petal, Amazon, Milestone etc. RobbK on here will probably know a lot more about this.

We touched upon this in an earlier thread about Motown tunes that didn't get a release in the US. I said that if we were going to include "promo only" releases then we might as well include the Frank Wilson 45. You said that Frank Wilson reached stock/issue status. The two Frank Wilson 45's that (so far, at least) have been known to exist are black/white labelled and have got "Promotional. Not For Sale." printed on the labels. There might very well be three stock/issue copies in existence, but they have never come onto the market as far as I know.

All copies are pressed on vinyl, not styrene. Those of you experiencing hiss/crackle, have you tried to clean the record?

I'm in total shock. How terribly, terribly sad. Rest in peace, Bob.

OK. I'm sorry, I just did som research on this. Seems like Apple has gotten rid of the line-in port on their newest machines which is quite remarkable. In the past you could use the headphone socket on Mac's as a "line-in" by altering the settings in: >system preferences >sound >input tab >"use audio port for:" >select sound input from the drop down menu But that doesn't seem to be an option anymore. But for those with PC's, the cables above should do.

Are there any modern PC's or Mac's out there these days that hasn't got a 3,5mm input and a soundcard? All you need in order to hook your amplifier via line-out/tape-out to your computer is pictured below (usually costs from £2 for a 1 metre cable and then goes up): If you decide to go via the headphone socket on your amplifier instead you should use this:

Hello! I've listed a bunch of records on eBay. There are label/sleeve scans and soundclips to everything. Check them out at: https://www.ebay.com/sch/pushkings/m.html Thanks for looking! Take care. /Sebastian

It's now only 5-6 hours to go on these auctions: https://www.ebay.com/sch/pushkings/m.html Thanks for looking!

I totally understand that, but I would still be interested.

I'd love a copy of that if anyone has got it for sale. Please, PM me if so.
