If not one of the better Funk Brothers backing track work at least one of the most singular ones that still grabs you by the guts. This double sider offering is presented in one of the most desirable form IMHO. It's also a rare release as it is a real nice one. Hence the price takes into account the following condition as described here below. The picture sleeve has to be graded only as a VG. On the front cover a bend mark from top to bottom on the third left and on the top open slide few creases, faint red felt pen "X"oc just before 'LOVE IS AN...' a pair of horizontal "scratches" on Diana ROSS and Mary WILSON faces. Back side of cover top left some pencil numbers... record itself is a nice EX condition. Sound clip from both sides with stylus drop and lift and scans from actual record. itching.mp3 £50 FREE SHIPPING ALL OVER THE WORLD Grading through M - EX - VG - G...

The YT poster is now selling on his copy maybe...

Second hand records shops exist for a long time now in Belgium so likely most found their way there or on flea markets. One can believe that some or more did find their way in the malignant visitors or "contributors" home. The storage condition of them is more likely relevant as to what happened to them. If they suffered from humidity or a leak, they could have binned indeed. But those "import" records that were in the hands of "independent records representatives" were more likely well kept in boxes until the man "kick the bucket". One such famous lot (Belinda/Melinda) in Brussels found for the biggest part found it's way in different second hand shops in Belgium. The story/legend goes that some manage to end up firstly in the bin indeed...

WE WANT TO SEE THE RECORD ! THE RECORD ! THE RECORD !!!

Not for knowing, but by deducing and understanding with time, crate digging and meeting few "ancestors", I came to the conclusion that the "over-boarder" re-releases were not done only through the "big ones" or the "elites" of the business. The numerous independent "records representatives" around the world were receiving this and that record recently issued by the Major Records Companies owning the rights from the USA, UK or any other countries. Sometimes at the top of the chain some records where not "supported" for the bigger scheme and where not promoted through those "link. This is generally acknowledge. But as in all "small worlds" they were also meeting "enthusiastic" smaller projects and at times decided against all odds to push the release of a project that had the tiniest chance to breakthrough. Since those "records representatives" where wandering in the world of Clubs, DJ's and Radios to see how a record could "work" or not, they had that "booker" snobbery attitude ! Sometimes "trendsetters" but in real most of the times trends followers. Mind you that Beirut was a "Shin-Dig" city then. Istanbul the same and Buenos Aires... And Brussels of course LOL !!!

Publishing rights in the UK was indeed the main USA "Atlantic gate" to 'Europe' or even for the rest of the world during the 5T's & 6T's. But mind that they were not only dependent on UK CEO's taste or musi-commercial point of view. Many countries had sole escaped out of the USA releases as this thread shows. That many a times without mandatory EMI UK consentement. Even the Mixed Emotion had an "official" EMI Belgium release of 'gold of my life' without the original members of the group knowledge... EMI copyrights ? This peculiar example just to show how such an official major label can even "invent" copyrights. And this is not a case of 'London's Darrel Banks' Publishing Right's ownership. It's more relevant of someone out here faking it all for the love of it only and not caring on cashing in. Sales of that Belgium EMI release were likely as spectacular as the self distributed USA release... As it's often the case. Can you imagine yourself in 1967 in Buenos Aires sipping a morning coffee dropping a dime in the dinner table 33 rpm juke-box for 'I've got to find me somebody'... Should be the best coffee ever ! No offense, but since the 5T's the UK was not doing the mandatory "direct USA filter" for the outside world. Even if for instance Tamla Motown Trade Mark in the 6T's was indeed a UK launch that had Holland and Germany "subsidiaries" following up as a Trade Mark but not necessarily for the selection. That is a fact. And indeed, CBS was build the same way in and outside the UK. But many smaller "independent" "World" labels had "cherry picked" leases not passing through the "chUnnel" at all. Once independent USA records "representatives" in the world were supplied directly, the UK channel could be by-passed. The story of the road to India... And never dissing the UK people in and for the music for their love, geekiness and focuses on American musical enlightenment as done nowhere else, is at the same time to be vividly underlined. Regards. Timmy, the Belgian !

Whoah ! I couldn't access that since I don 't have a UK eVilBay account I guess. This shows the 2 gamers at work. Fantastic ! Cheers 4 that. Still, 'g***8' has made a first gigantic leap from 'e***s' bid or increment from £39 to £250 !!! And again from £255 to £360 ! Then from £255 to £360... these are not "proxy bid" increments. But on time manual bids.

OK, my bad. The "proxy bidding" is something I keep forgetting exist. Sorry, me don't like it. Then the other bids not making it just don't show. So nobody knows who took the limit to the sky... More room for the "conspiracy theory"...

No no. At the bottom you have the last "real" bidder. Then 'g***8' comes into the game and bid over on himself 9 times !!! There's no 'snipe' at work there. Check different days and hours... It's all done on time and manually.

Last bids increment from £30 to £520 from the same bidder all alone without competition... Then a sole bid from another bider at £530 to close-up In the real world it's a £40 record or so. If a close minter, might go for more for a purist collector...

I've bought bunches with the short credit name of both the promo and black issues as NOS. I never knew the story with the full name credit. Seeing this now makes me understand that the second round of release on both black and blue labels "corrected" to credit the second composer's name in full rightfully so. All legit.

Likely the other way around. My theory is this was just another subsiduary label for the USA London group as they have many. Then this Doris Willingham got picked up by President records for a UK release with a licence to use the label that in the States was simply discontinued after a later second release by the Hogs formerly a UK release for Jay Boy N°5. Don't forget that the Equals already had their international fame and that those releases in the USA got licensed through the USA London records group. After Doris Willinngham, UK Jay Boy served as "generic" UK production release label before becoming the "dedicated" soul label for the President group with the emergence of the "rare" soul scene from the "underground".

Doris Willingham total match Doris Duke

Yes and I don't know of any ABC who didn't got a promo release. Jackie's 'darkest' got a promo styrene West Coast release. But what about an East Coast one ? Maybe none !

Never seen one, so the hypothesis that it exist is thin...

Unless there is a white promo to it...

None accepted !

I wanted to ask the same but apparently it's only by checking the matrix that one can tell the difference so likely a bit useless...

Was minty when I first acquired it. It was originally found by a record dealer in a Radio stock in the USA. All the 45's from that lot had such tiny writing presumably to distinguish each time the type of music. Now I have to "downgrade" it as a real nice Ex+. Still strong sounding Ex+. 600dpi scans to attest that visualy. This is Johnny's last singles with the Crests. It was obviously not well promoted. Still the promo copies of this 45's appear to be scarcer than the commercial releases. This is the only way to get this "rarer" mix with the dramatic high pitch wail of Johnny at the end of the tune that is not featured on the stock copies... PM me your offers for consideration until Wednesday midnight ! mp3 from with both sides with needle drop and and lift and scans from the actual record. johnny maestro.mp3

There's the 3 Despenza with another catalogue number credited by some to be the first press. But to that I can't say...

This Johnny Daye 'stay baby staaAAAAAayyyy...' is a long-long firm favorite of mine. I was told sometimes back that the guy was white. So I listened again and again to my copy of 'good time' on Jomada and couldn't hear the "white" bit. Still, I omitted to it since I didn't know for fact otherwise and it wouldn't change my liking to the his 45's anyway. And when I got this Stax 45, I thought to myself; Ha ! Now I know, he's black ! Search for it on the net, landed on this; My venture into black music as a kid started with Jamaican music after buying a Prince Buster 'FAB' LP as quoted for reference by my likes of the day then like the Specials, Madness... I still vividly remember coming back home and laying the 'FAB' LP on my deck and looking at my 2-Tone records starting to wonder 'what am I going to do with those now ?'. Then came the obsession for soul music even before 'Northern'. Never too much into the R'n'B thing and even less into Country or Rock'n'Roll, Swing stuffs and all that Jazz, I focused on those sexy vintage 45's. Ska, Rock Steady, Reggae and Soul were "black" colored music. In the studios at least... Or the recording side of the mike mainly... Or most of the times at least... then the other times something else of the other color; white, red, yellow or brown. Blue doesn't count as the Smurfs can't sing and they are Belgians. So like most I'd say to find pictures or footages of the artists to have a reference to put in context was and still is always a quest. And now to be proven wrong once again, is always a blessing since my "pride" is worth less than the truth in my book. Word Up ! Bless you Johnny Daye.

Nope, top one one is the previously unissued one credited to Emanuel Lasky on 45 but is actually Billy Kennedy. Second YT clip is the scratched-out matrix ! My mate with the "thin" mix has too much hassle with work, wages and making ends meet, like the other half do, that he didn't find the time yet to drop by... I will keep you posted with a real recordings of both sounding better than these for a real comparison.

No I doubt that these vinyl issues were first releases even with a misspelt title. Likely some kind of "rush release" to satisfy an immediate demand. The Creations on sis label Zodiac had the same fate.
