Sean Hampsey Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I found UK copies of Rescue me and Recovery today on Gold writing UK Chess , did they come out on silver writing as well ? Many thanks for any help ,Best,Eddie "Rescue Me" was gold only and 99% sure that "Recovery" was too, Eddie. Sean
Sean Hampsey Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Apart from my UK copy of Rescue Me! No gold...no silver! Sean
Nickinstoke Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 "Rescue Me" was gold only and 99% sure that "Recovery" was too, Eddie. Sean The Record Collector price guide lists a 1969 reissue of "Rescue me", on the same number as the 1965 release. If it exists, this would probably have the silver writing. Cheers Nick

If it exists, this would probably have the silver writing. Cheers Nick Can't say I've ever seen one - but might be having a senior moment, Nick. Chess was on catalogue for years under PYE, even when Phonogram took over UK distribution they all went shades of Blue and Blue Plastic, but pretty sure there was no Black & Silver copy.

Pete S Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Apart from my UK copy of Rescue Me! No gold...no silver! Sean Or on mine. But there must be a silver Rescue Me because there's a yellow demo for the reissue.
Sean Hampsey Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 There was the 'Your Chess Requests" EP which incled Rescue Me & WAS black & Silver - but that's it as I recall!
Sean Hampsey Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Or on mine. But there must be a silver Rescue Me because there's a yellow demo for the reissue. Nice Demo Pete - but can you remember seeing a Blk / Silver for either Rescue or Recovery? Sure I aint!
pikeys dog Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 "Rescue me" was on theb-side of "I Can't Rest" on black and silver.
Sean Hampsey Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 "Rescue me" was on theb-side of "I Can't Rest" on black and silver. But no Black & Silver issue of Rescue Me / Soul Of Man.
Pete S Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 "Rescue me" was on theb-side of "I Can't Rest" on black and silver. But it's the A side on the yellow demo isn't it?
Guest Paul Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Can't say I've ever seen one - but might be having a senior moment, Nick. Chess was on catalogue for years under PYE, even when Phonogram took over UK distribution they all went shades of Blue and Blue Plastic, but pretty sure there was no Black & Silver copy. Hello I seem to recall there were some 1980s reissues from PRT (probably licensed via All Platinum) and some of them were on black Chess with silver text. And I'm almost certain one was also a 10" EP with Ramsey Lewis etc. Does anyone remember?
pikeys dog Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 But it's the A side on the yellow demo isn't it? Never seen a demo, so can't confirm it.
Sean Hampsey Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 But it's the A side on the yellow demo isn't it? mmmm sure you're right Pete, but the Yellow Demo is the one with "I Can't Rest" on the flip (8090). Still sure I've never seen the Rescue Me / Soul Of The Man (8023) in Black & Silver... ...but am warming to the idea of 8090 being in Black & Silver as you suggest, even though I can't recall seeing one.
Pete S Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Some nob paid £102 for this yellow demo. I think I paid about £8 for the white demo! Anyway this should mean that there is definitely a silver lettering Rescue me.

Pretty sure I've not seen the issue - and certain there's no Rescue Me / Soul Of Man 8023 in silver.
Dave Pinch Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 chess did a series of reissues in 1969 on black and silver and rescue me/ i cant rest was one of them. catalogue numbers started at CRS 8090 I think. definately exists coz i used to have it. its the only time ive owned i cant rest. other issues were ramsey lewis wade in the water/ hard days night. tony clarke entertainer/ aint love good. there were other but i cant remember off hand and ive no books here dave

I've found a copy of CRS 8090 (the Silver & Black reissue - pictured)... So to answer Eddies question on 'Rescue Me' it does exist as a Black & Silver 45... but strictly speaking its not the same record done in silver - as its actually a reissue, done 4 years later, under a different number and with a different flip. Now - how about 'Recovery'? Sean

Guest Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 first issues on UK CHESS up to release # 8041 all have GOLD text. After that # the text is silver up to # 8107. interestingly # 8041 comes with both Gold text and silver text .. as far as i know there is no reissue of # 8023 with silver text..if there is I've never seen it. Record Collector listing of the silver text reissue i suspect is an error...

Dave Pinch Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Yes "Rescue me" did come out with silver text. 1969 second issue.Bass Silver.JPG We came to that conclusion 5 years ago Chris
Chris L Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 We came to that conclusion 5 years ago Chris Whoops ! Yes I see it now
dthedrug Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 HI ALL... Fontella Bass UK CHESS original 1st issue (gold) DEMO's.. are much rarer than the issues gold or silver. these 2 are from the collection DAVE K 1
Hill868 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Yes, on both silver and gold label script, the later (silver) issue is the better one to get, it's got the great dancer flipside ' I can't rest' 1
Chris L Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 For clarity's sake 8023 1st issue 1965, 8090 2nd issue 1969 ? 1
