Atlantic super soul on tour Ep in pic cover, normal Atlantic label from 70's cat no sam23 but says promotion single not for sale.

has the following artists on it.

Sister Sledge -mama never told me

jimmy castor bunch - bertha butt boogie part 1

detroit spinners - love has gone away

ben e king - supernatural thing part 1

has 3 dates on the label so i am asuming this is when the tracks were first issued?

was it ever issued properley?

was there a tour it was used to promote?

never seen before promotional SINGLE before usually promo copy or demo copy.

I have also got this preview 45, its a great car boot find as all preview singles are and in some cases Flexi singles as you never no whats on them? as I love this sort of thing I would give a value probably above what most would give, they are rare, but not ultra rare as this single does not have a rare track on it? great music but not rare, my value would be £10 but most collectors would not appreciate the historical aspect of the disc, the Action People single is perhaps a much more wanted review record, and as I say certain Flexi discs such as the Tamla-Motown disc that came with Chartbusters 5, or now Micheal Jackson has died the Flexi Valentine present the Jackson 5, must have gone up in price?...in fact is there a list of unusual promo/flexi discs that have a soul connection in existence?

Dave, I love reading your replies, it's like Stanley Unwin never kippered it.

Thanks for your answer Dave , but does anyone know whether it was ever issued commercially ? and was it used to promote a tour of the artists or was it a freebie given out at the gigs if there was a tour ?

cheers

Those four acts made up the Super Soul package and played the Hammersmith Odeon on 17th April 1975. I can't remember if there was a full tour, or just that one show, but parts of it were filmed for The Old Grey Whistle Test.

Edit - here are some small scans of the programme, found on this site https://www.peterice.com/Programmes2.htm
