only on atlantic in the uk....maybe a euro or aussie pressing but never seen one

must be the no1 wanted 45 on soul source tho. always seems to be wants out for it. agree 285 seems a little high

i know its a different record but the dwight franklin looked very good. a different kettle of fish because thats a more recent discovery. were they all 70s presses or were all copies brand new. i think the only differences between pressings was the scratched out info in the runout on the 2nd presses

another sad day R.I.P rozetta x

this is the thing bob, not just the longer/ shorter matrix, the vinyl looks totally different. i was just putting another scenario forward in reality the were probably pressed up years and years ago and sat on for a while. either way the shorter matrix turns up much more often not just seeing on lists especially where a guy has multiples but also you only have to look on popsike to see that the longer matrix , embedded run out originals hardly ever show up on there

and dont forget john denver who was huge from 1971 onwards,,soul wise the best rca could hope for were the main ingredient and new birth

ive always had that facility on how manys watching i was hopin it would tell you who is watching

are we saying who`s watching or how many watching

why ? did you make them. lol...we`ll settle for the fact its a reissue anyway. thats already set in stone i dont think theres any originals of CI on vinyl ivor or at least ive never seen one

it could well be jim. certainly done to meet demand when it first went big, its got the stamp and the vinyl looks the same ( probably from the original plate) but how legal is anybody`s guess

as long as there cheap enough john

most of the copies are probably ok still...after all these years rca promo`s still keep comin over they probably pressed nearer 5000 than 1000

real

could be

stock copy

i`d agree pete..collecting black issues is a very specialist collectors market. most would settle for original white demos..............and theres tons of em.. just a note, because this is probablty the dearest demo we assume this to be the dearest issue. but i think some of the £20 demo`s on rca have rarer stock counterparts than this one

thats the one i was on about.,, whatever the origin it was done to meet demand on the uk soul scene and would not exist otherwise....the one joe mentions i cant say ive seen that one

its the one on the plain creamy yellow label thats alegedly the boot, it is stamped and from the same plate but on vinyl rather than styrene. folks have been sayin its a boot from the year dot....well1973 anyway .. not 100% convinced myself just represses after the record was played maybe

the artist could be still pressing them up for all we know especially if he`s still letting copies out 30 years after the record was originally played..... like an elijah cole lucky davis dwight franklin type of scenario who knows the first longer matrix copy is certainly louder and beefier than the shorter when i compared them

on the original 45s it doesnt say any writers...... only on the bootlegs and lps just guess work on their part

really any tune that made billboard pop 100 shouldnt be worth more than $10.......ace spectrum......brown sugar the game is over is another one thats been £100 in its time

where does that come from ged.....i have it as pop no 59 and rnb no 10..still a lot of copies shifted tho and the usa is quite big

both good and both playable....cant recall seeing the slow one for sale

nice price on the eboney essence

could it be that the wand issue was cancelled/ withdrawn due to whatever
