Never seen an original copy without those grooves on part 2

It appears that the consensus is that the red balloons issue is a repress that was done a few months later than the pale blue first pressing. In this instance the repress appears to be harder to find than the first pressing. In any case you get two good sides with "No Baby No" being the better side for me - mid tempo magic from a great artist on a great label from a great era in soul music - and not to forget it is from The Motor City too!

It appears that the label was running between 1966 and 1967 which means that there was only a few months between all of the releases and variants. As regards the Magic Tones disc I have seen this on Ebay a couple of times at the very most but went for big money!!

That's a very good example of the type of thing that is out there but not well documented - until quite recently anyway. The Magic Tones, Solid Hit 108 was overlooked by many of the discographies & label listings but now is starting to show up.

Thanks Again for all of your comments. I have to agree with Ed's last comment, if a well known classic like this exists it what appears to be a virtually unknown format, then what else is still out there in those Detroit warehouses and basements.

I can see how it works but it appears that the balloon design is an oddity as apart from the one image on discogs there seems to be no other reference or documentation in price guides etc to this variant. Very strange, especially when you consider that this is a well known classic.

Thanks for all of the replies. There is an image of the balloon design on discogs but only the no no baby side. I don't see any balloon design copies on popsike but there are many many pale blue ones and white demos of the same design. If the balloon design is a reissue because of demand then why so few copies?

Just wondering how often this one turns up with the red balloons design Solid Hit label. It appears to be less common than the pale blue label but is it rare? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Carl

This version is still a mystery to me especially when you see the number of versions of release numbers Charay 90 and 91 on Discogs and none of them the same a & b side as the one now on ebay????
