Thanks for the comments, Melismo! I'm glad you enjoyed the mix.

Here's a yellow demo 9723 release scan:

Perhaps to avoid confusion with the other west coast group called The New Yorkers that released several 45s on Scepter, Jerden and Santana in 1966/1967?

The backing tracks to "You Hit The Spot" and "My Love Is So Strong" are entirely different recordings, albeit based on the same "formula". The tempo of the Gloria Walker tune speeds up throughout the course of the track and that is not the case with Angela Davis.

Not a cock-up. RC 1001 was issued as both Royal Knights and The New Yorkers. Both on black labels with gold writing. Can dig out my copy of New Yorkers and post up some scans.

TNT Band, perhaps? tnt band - that's life -

You're right about that Gloria Jones 45 being a bootleg/repro, but I don't think that's why the seller describes it as an "import". The seller is in the UK and all of his US pressed 45s are described as "imports" which they indeed were/are (they were imported from the US to the UK, not pressed in the UK).

And here's how they do it at Timmion:

Was it released on the same OP-ART label as The Luv-Lites? The scan below is 1001/1002. Tiaras seems to be 1003 (or is that perhaps 1003/1004?).

Why don't you just cut yourself an acetate of it for your own personal use? These guys cut loud and great sounding acetates: https://www.timmion.com/cutting

I've tried it a couple of times and it has always packed the floor. But I always fade it out at around 2:10 when the guitar solo comes in.

Here you go:

The reissue was part of 7x7" box set called "The Funky Side Of P&P Records". There's definitely an original 70s pressing on the GEORGIA PEACH label. Quite hard to find though. Can dig it out and post scans of it if you want me to. Great version of the Van Morrison classic, but I can imagine that the over-the-top guitar solo might not be to everyones taste.

Norway.

That UK store probably got them cheap or (more likely) their regular UK distributor was out of stock and the store had to import copies from elsewhere to satisy the demand from customers. They didn't have a norm. Dutch 45s from the 60s and 70s can be found with both small and big centre holes, they didn't stick to just one variant.

That I have no idea about. But I do have a dutch Colpix 45 with black labels though, and I've seen dutch Deram 45s with the "usual" orange/light-brown label as well. EDIT: I just googled "holland orange" and got this: "Orange is the color of the Dutch Royal Family. [...] But while the color orange has royal roots in the Netherlands, today it symbolizes a broader pride in the country and in being Dutch." That might have something to do with it?

It is indeed odd, but the pressing plants using the 670 / 690 / 710 etc. country codes were owned by Philips (who handled Polydor, Mercury, Fontana etc.) and it seems like the plants in the different european countries sometimes used labels from the same source. There are for example hundreds of norwegian pressings on Polydor with copyright text in german on the label despite the record being pressed in Norway (with country code 710 in the run-out). Norway and Holland often used the same blank labels for the Fontana 45s. The UK issue of that Isaac Hayes 45 was handled by Polydor (owned by Philips), so it's likely that the blank labels were made in the UK and shipped out to their "sister"-pressing plant in Holland.
