on the 'Down Home' record label. Please PM me if you have a copy and you're looking to sell.

Desert??? Where did you get that idea from Webby? Have you lived there? If so, when? Anyhow, it's not a desert but a place with lots of sand and a few oases.

He's good isn't he. Thanks Seb.

Yes, and I noticed that the label scans of the Dutch labels you posted had the copyright text in English as well. I have a few Dutch label releases, inc Tamla Motown, Chess, and Cameo Parkway. Except for the Dutch Deram label I have, why are they all coloured orange? I know that their national strips for sports are generally all orange, as in the Dutch football team, but why the labels too?

We can FINALLY put this thread to bed Got my son to go check the details in the runout grooves of my Stax 45 and they read the same as yours. Which means, according to Sebastian, that we have "Dutch" - "Made In Holland" releases. Whis is odd really. I mean, why would all the copyright stuff around the rim of the label be printed in English? But whatever . . . . . . . problem solved. That's a QED. Thanks Seb.

Could the S and the A stand for South Africa instead?

Sebastian, Do you own these records as vinyl too? Or, do you collect label scans and these are part of your collection? I notice you're always very helpful and forthcoming when it comes to information like this and you very often support your facts with scans. Collecting scans of labels is nearly as attractive as collecting the vinyl but has it's obvious shortcomings. Do you have everything collated for easy access?

I thought as much. Nice one, I'll get right on it when I get home. Cheers Seb.

You're not about to give in so easily are you? I will check when I get home at the weekend and get back to you. What is the significance of those numbers in the run-out grooves?

Possibly Right, that's it, case closed. I'm going to call it an Aussie release, despite buying it over the counter here in the UK. Must be one of those pressed for export that never got exported.

Hey, I'LL decide on whether or not this case is closed. For instance, how do you explain how an Australian copy of the record was bought by me, when it came out, at a new release record sales shop here in the UK? Case NOT YET closed. Having said that, that last scan of the label is the closest / almost the same as mine.

Truly wonderful tune!!!

To which scan are you referring?

That's DEFINITELY not a British release.

In that case . . . . . "Ciekawe" (with a Polish accent)

Interethting (with a German accent)

If you're talking about the scan I posted up, COPYRIGHT CONTROL. Why?

Yeah, but why is the copyright stuff etc in English? I have a Tami Lynn 'I'm Gonna Run Away etc. . . ' on Irish Polydor, which is only similar to the English Polydor and has no 'Made in England' on it like the English release. So, Irish Stax could be a possibility. Steve G might be able to help if and when he sends in scans of his German Stax releases.

Oo, now that's a possibility.

That's no excuse. :o) Weekend perhaps?

Any chance of an example scan?

Can you send me a scan? Are you saying that your German copies look exactly the same as the scan of mine?

Right, let's see if this works???

I know, I'm trying to attach the scan as we speak. Don't know what happened first time round?

If you do, please state what the record is, or better still, send us a scan. Thanks. Denbo.
