The 7" release was 3590 and the (perhaps proposed?) 12" releases was 3591. When PIR issued both a 7" and a 12" of a song they usually gave them consecutive numbers as shown by the scans and listings below for Edwin Birdsong, Silk and Bobby Rush. That's most likely what happened with the Anthony White 3590/3591 release as well. Can't say that I've seen any 12"s of that title, but I haven't really been looking either. 3590 : ANTHONY WHITE - "Im So Much In Love With You"/"Yes You Need Love" (7") 3591 : ANTHONY WHITE - "Im So Much In Love With You"/"Yes You Need Love" (12") 3670 : EDWIN BIRDSONG - "Phizz Phizz"/"Goldmine" (7") 3671 : EDWIN BIRDSONG - "Phizz Phizz"/"Goldmine" (12") 3690 : SILK - "Midnight Dancer"/"Get On Up" (12") 3691 : SILK - "Midnight Dancer"/"Get On Up" (7") 3694 : BOBBY RUSH - "I Wanna Do The Do"/"Hey Western Union Man" (12") 3695 : BOBBY RUSH - "I Wanna Do The Do"/"Hey Western Union Man" (7")

There's about 2 days left on these auctions.

This 45 was a good seller at the time of its release and was pressed at several different pressing plants which explains the differences in label layout. There are at least 3 different issue variations. All of them are originals. Some are pressed on vinyl and some are pressed on styrene. Some examples:

Usually fetches $100-$150 on eBay.

Don't know exactly why they chose that way of pressing their records, but lots and lots of Polydor and Capitol distributed 45s has got those anti-slip grip marks. The Silver Blue label was distributed by Polydor.

No, the Mixed Emotions 45 is neither a Holland/Netherlands or Germany release. It has got the SABAM logo on the label which indicates that it was a Belgium release.

I uses to have a copy of this german release as well. Found it here in Sweden. It also had the labels flipped, so all copies might've been like that. I sold it in November 2006 for $46 on eBay. Here are scans of the copy I used to have:

Looks very nice, would really like to have a copy of that!

That looks totally wrong to me. The printing style reminds me of the records that are currently being pressed by the Gramofonove Zavody pressing plant in the Czech Republic. Here are some authentic releases with this label design:

During the past 5 years Popsike has documented 4 Stag copies and 8 Doctor Bird copies.

Some examples from Popsike:

There's only 5-6 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for looking! :-)

The "special rush reservice" text can be seen on loads of Columbia 45s that for some reason got re-promoted to radio stations, either with a different edit of a tune, as mono/stereo dj copies, because of a pressing/printing error, or flipping the b-side to a-side in case the intended b-side started to get radio plays. They were all, as far as I know, done at the time of the initial release of the tune in question. Here's a whole bunch of them:

As far as I understand the Curtis brothers in These Vizitors (Richard, Michael and Tom) are not the same Curtis brothers that were involved with the Nooney Rickett releases (Anthony Curtis).

Only the track "Invisible Wind" has been reissued on 12": https://www.numerogroup.com/catalog_detail.php?uid=00318 The rest of the tracks on her original TAP 12" along with a great unissued tune can be found on the TAP compilation CD/double-LP: https://www.numerogroup.com/catalog_detail.php?uid=00331 I personally prefer Arnie Love's version of "Invisible Wind", much better vocals and more punch compared to Jackie Stoudemire's version.

But that's a US release. Didn't get a UK release as far as I know.

Beverly Ann is Beverly Bremers: https://www.beverlybremers.com/ Not a country singer, but most of her recordings are soft rock / sunshine pop stuff.

We had a long and very interesting thread about rare 12"s about two years ago: /Rarest-...-12-t43458.html Well worth a revisit!

Are you sure? I don't think so. The members in These Vizitors on CAPITOL who later released records as Curtis Brothers on POLYDOR in 1976 were Michael Curtis, Rick Dew-Curtis, Tom Curtis and Thom Mooney. The CAPITOL 45 by These Vizitors from 1968 has got Richard Curtis and Michael Curtis as songwriters on both sides. These guys were at different times based in Indiana, New York and Florida. Both sides of the Curtis, The Brothers 45 on BELL are written by Anthony Curtis and Lonnie Lee Tolbert. Both sides are published by Anthony Curtis Publishing (based in California). Confusingly there actually was a 45 credited to Curtis Brothers on CAPITOL released in 1968 ("Um Um Good" b/w "Another One Of Those Days"). Both sides are written by Curtis/Tolbert and the vocals on this record sounds like the vocals on the BELL 45 so I think it's safe to say that the CAPITOL 45 are by the same group of people. Anthony Curtis and Lonnie Lee Tolbert also wrote "What Makes A Dance (Feel So Good)", "Player Play On" and "Tomorrow Is A Brand New Day" for Nooney Rickett. The Nooney Rickett 45s on IT are actually credited as being "Curtis Bros. Prod". The IT label was based in California. In 1969 they wrote "One Soft Night" for Nancy Wilson (CAPITOL 2555). In their BMI files Anthony Curtis and Lonnie Lee Tolbert share the writing credits on tunes with the following titles as well: "Don't Look At Me Like That" "Guiding Star" "I'm Coming Back Strong" "One Day You'll Pay" "Youngblood" But I don't know if any artists ever recorded and released those tunes. If these titles sound familiar to anyone of you, please let me know. It would be great to be able to paint a full picture of what these guys were involved in.

Dean and Melismo, big thanks for your comments! I'm glad you liked the mix. Here are label/sleeve scans for the tunes in the mix above:
