I got the idea from Sebastian to look there.

Here's a link to a dark blue 45 indicating it's a Jamaican issue. https://www.45cat.com/record/nc496619jm

It looks like everyone agrees that it is Jamaican. Thanks all.

Is this unusual or a rare version? Maybe a first pressing? I've checked the usual places, but could not find one like this. Thanks for info.

Yes, I have the Mommy and Daddy on Promo or are you talking about the ''Sorrow'' title?

According to Joel Whitburn Billboard top pop book none of them had picture sleeves. This does not include the ones that did not make the charts.

You are the one with the nerve. I can not believe you are still in denial. The shame is on you.

Yes, this is the vinyl boot copy that he tried to convince me otherwise even when I asked directly if it was a counterfeit. Then he drags his complaint about a well deserved negative here so all his fiends would circle the wagons to back him up even though they knew it was not an original copy too. Only a couple of honest souls sided with me because they wanted to tell the truth about the record like above.

pm'd you.

Hi, I just saw this. I have a copy. If you are still looking for it can you give me your offer. NM condition.

Interesting that you are still avoiding the John Manship book. I said those were my feelings as you were saying the record came out in 1967 and the Mercury Logo missing....are you standing by those statements?

I do not know who they are and them just saying it does not make it so. I would like to hear from them with proof in writing.

If Pete feels this way I'll remove it. This leaves the fist option the only one left and I do not feel that can be met. John Manship has listed this as a repro/boot in his book for over 5 years and if he was wrong you guys would have objected to it by now, but this has not happened. I've seen lots of garage 45 listed as repros and in their ads the sellers make it clear and in bold print "This is not an original" which was lacking in Petes' ad. He had about least amount of info there that could be used. If he had this in his ad I would not have made the purchase. Also,his replies to me I felt were evasive and misleading giving me mistrust in him which lead to this. Hopefully, this is the end and we can move on and learn by it.

Boba is correct again. All this name calling is having the opposite effect. However, gratefully it's not coming from Pete.

I've read the replies here and thanks to 'boba' which he pretty much hit the nail on the head what I was thinking by the answers I was getting from Pete. This was the first time I bought from him and I do not know him at all. When he threatened to report me I took this as the end losing all trust in him and rushed off to paypal to make the claim. I feel the copy sent is a repro/boot. I know that ebay does not like for sellers to list ''boots'' and I was thinking this is why it was listed the way it was when confirmed this by Johnmanship book that vinyl copies are reproductions. Using the Art Freeman 45 as an example ''Slippin' Around With You'' the book states that 'repro twice' and shows the first as a counterfeit. This tells me that repro = counterfeit or boot. If Pete can prove to me without a doubt with some kind of documentation that it was a legit release by Smash I will be happy to retract the negative. I'd also like to hear from John Manship himself, if possible, why this in the book as a repo and not a legit release.

Here is what it looks like...it does have a drill hole at the end of the label.

Hi, Here is the label scan. Brian
