Verve 10378 - Wilson Pickett - My Heart Belongs To You / Let Me Be Your Baby - 1965 promo light blue, stock dark blue and stock BLACK (never seen a yellow promo) Verve 10423 - The High Keys - Living A Lie / Let's Take A Chance - 1966 promo light blue, promo yellow ,stock dark blue and stock BLACK Verve 10464 - Howard Tate - Look At Granny Run Run / Half A Man - 1967 promo light blue, stock dark blue and stock BLACK (never seen a yellow promo) Those 3 singles I know had those color variations so I guess some other Verve 45's did suffer the same fate. And those 3 singles are 80+ issues appart. So it's not a "transitional" color change from black to blue but indeed releases from different pressing plant to supply demand and distribution. The yellow promo of the High Keys is not from another pressing plant though. So that one is a bit of a mystery (old batch of labels for a rush promo release maybe ?) as it is with the black label where there's no "Frost Music", but only the "Maltese Music Co." credit !!! Where on the 3 others issues it credits "Frost Music & Maltese Music" so there is maybe a licence problem with this one.

Was NOS when I bought it (drill hole) but now it's only Ex++ since I played it home few times over the decades... intruders.mp3 PM me for details. Gradings used are M/Ex/Vg... through +/- £75 free P&P all over the world - add £6 to have it registered

Tommy Hunt's majestic voice fits to perfection Jimmy Radcliff's dramatic pen and Bert DeCoteaux's sophisticated arrangements. This 45 is somehow overlook like in "forgotten" between his Scepter deal outcome and his Dynamo enrollment. Overall condition is Ex- and vinyl Vg++ due to some wear on the vinyl with scuffs and a light warp. Play strong and loud. Better than a filler and/or the one to own before an upgrade maybe.

That is awfully cute ! This is my favorite of the man. I'm happy with my D-Town copy but this is a nice change of dress. Thanks for sharing.

The drugs won't work... too much drugs... nothing seems everything and vice versa... hard to tell what it is indeed... soul... off-center... unknown... Panama... drunk trumpet solo at the end...

!!! SOLD !!! This is the rarer west coast styrene press that plays perfectly. Which isn't the case with most of the other vinyl press. I've had so many vinyl promos and stockers copies through the years that played with strong hiss, noise and/or sound distortion. Due to poor vinyl material and/or mastering work. Listen to those two wonderful sides as they should be. This is the vey reason why this copy commands this higher end-price. Overall condition Ex.

Real nice condition on this one. Sticker on both sides of label that is supposed to be from a Belgian record "representative" company of some sort. 'Belinda' and 'Melinda' music companies was the one and the same and so if you find them stickers on some UK or USA 45's, I't's from that company that operated from the early 6T's to the early 7T's. One "slice" of the lot, from where this very single comes from, was sadly splitted and scattered all over Belgium and beyond I've even been told... It must have been huge originally. I left the sticker on this copy so the record still can tell the story. The day it was glued on the record was likely out of the pressing plant and right after it was shipped from N.Y. to 'Belindamusic' in the mid-sixties.

No, there's a stocker of their 'living in the footsteps of another girl' but NOT of 'this love is real (i can feel those vibrations)', unless you can show me...

Does it exist on a black and colored stock copy on BRC or was it only issued as promos ?

!!! SOLD !!! The BEST version IMHO. Evergreen soul stuff with all those little gimmicks to make it way above your everyday average pop tune. Superior to the original of the Chi-Lites and unrivaled by the later Maryann Farra & Satin Soul, brilliantly stolen by Delroy Wilson for a roots/soulful reggae Bunny Lee production, the song was covered by so many through the years. And hinted for the original video clip by member on here 'sunnysoul' that is like watching Dolly Parton in triple vision in Disney Land with better moves than Betty Boop swinging in her Looney Tunes... it all revived it for me. Overall Ex or better condition but has the slightest warp that is very faint to downgrade it to an Ex. Sound clip and scans of actual record for sale. promises.mp3 PM me for details.

Hi Gibby, so you acknowledge that there is no white label for this one ! The demo, as you have, are stamped with red stars ? Can you provide a scan or a good picture ?

Yep, I've done it all round searching on the net with all options... When I read that it existed on here in that old thread, I was glad to hear it should exist and so while there is life there is hope. I'm still kinda dubious since after all those years I have all the first round from Big Wheel label N° 1967 to 1970 on WLP (it doesn't say PROMO on the label anyway). But not the N° 321 'I'm a fool (I must love you)' which is supposedly prior to those and so it might never got to see a promo release...

Few years ago there was a thread here about naming the much rarer demo to the common issue 45's or the much less rarer issue to the ultra rare demo and it went sometimes vice/versa. Someone in the thread claimed that there was a white demo to the Falcons 'I'm a fool (I must love you) on Big Wheel. Has anyone seen, hold scan or photographed one ?

Musicor Cat No. M 504 does not exist since Musicor starts with number 1001 ! Manship mistake...

!!! SOLD !!! No bluff ! How rare is this funk piece in it's stocker clothes ? Those promos are all styrene and I would like to believe that some picky collectors are just like me that they want all their MGM's to be on vinyl ! No ? Anyway, the rarests MGM's stockers on the northern front can really be rare. This particular funkster and ballad (real 'A' side) sticks definitely amongst the rarest MGM's stockers out there (Dean Courtney...). It's only in vg condition overall but is a good enough copy to DJ with and/or a collector's filler. Price reflecting condition.

My fave is their b-side 'I've got to find her', just my intention to share my enthusiasm...

!!! SOLD !!! This is a good alternative version to Don's original that is not hammered... Yet ! Maybe less powerful and gritty but definitely refreshing with a 'young, wild and unadulterated' attitude. The Emperors pedigree has nothing to pale either. All their 45's capture that "garage gig band" energy that they were. This is IMHO the better looking promo paper label to the more common painted plastic label. It's in great Ex condition. scans and sound clip of both sides from actual record for sale. emperors.mp3 PM me for details.

What label is it on ? And condition for a better description might help decide a potential buyer...
