Archie Bell & The Drells-Rare Issue

[jazzyjas]

Hey Soul Sourcers,

Here's something I've NEVER EVER seen! It's Tighten Up on the same catalog number as always but with the Ovide B side "Dog Eat Dog".

Every single copy that I've ever seen of this record has Tighten Up Pt. 2 on the b side. Has anyone ever seen this? This has got to be rare as hell or even deleted!

Would love to know if anyone else has ever run across this 45.

not that rare, i'm surprised that you're surprised. i think the story was it was originally issued with dog eat dog as the intended a-side, it became the hit, then they reissued it with part 2.

Also came out on UK Red Atlantic, and is cheap also. Two great sides though. Anyone got a US copy for sale, as i'd like one, especially Ovide?

I would think there's a very distinct possibly it's deleted....probably since 1968....
