the whole label appear to be 70s creations chris........ the 60s diehards could be using AW as a frizbee as we speak

whatever happened to this copy..started as a high buy it now i think https://www.popsike.com/NORTHERN-SOUL-HOLY-GRAIL-Arthur-Willis-Soulful-Dynamics-MARS-TOUR/182391660424.html

yeh stevie G`s answer to your much older post.. i would agree with chalky tho.. theres probably 10 arthur willis been found..but of course there`s bound to be a few more out there waiting to be..bloody big place you got over there

https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=mars+la+tour&x=22&y=7 this shows a few things from the label... no arthur willis even tho its been thru ebay at least twice..but a few rickey in there..the ones towards the bottom came from the artist.. i wonder if stevie winwood ever got to hear it

agent dudes original post is 10 years old steve... been thru ebay over a dozen times plus also a small find around 2011

of course it has chalky.. but it was lps in the main.. 45s tended to be made in stereo from around 1968/69 with major labels leading the way

see above post it may even be 72...not 75 tho..but yeh 100% not a 60s record how did this label survive.. must have been trading 10 years on very low sales

the stan z cole 45 is a comedy record ..the november 1972 being the release date.. its on MLT 2064.. The releases all seem to fall in line.. i would estimate 1970 or even 71 for athur willis

its a stereo 45 so id say around 1970..i`d be surprised at 1975.. but not early mid 60s for sure

had david cassidy`s version since it came out..still great imo..never really rated tata`s version ..a much travelled song by the sounds of it

maybe it can still be seen or you could tell where its been..does the A side still click on the fade out as all the earlier copies seem to do

at least it shows a difference between a first press from 2018 and a 2nd press from 2019 and should be sold stating what is what when they come up for sale

i only buy 7`s.. the 12s well sometimes they go on a bit...but i guess i could lose some weight as i do carry a box of LPs about...
