Small 45 Okeh?

[Guest Soulraine]

I've a copy of Major Lance's Too Hot To Hold on Okeh but it has a small 45 which I've been told is a reissue but in this instance not so, is this true or have I been had?

Thanks

This ' big/small okeh logo' saga concerned me when I first purchased this 45. I know the large symbol rule applies to many of the Okeh releases however I believe this 45 is an exception. i have never seen a copy with a large Okeh symbol. I'm no soul scholar but I'm 95% sure that this 45 even with a small okeh label is an orginal.

Hi this is a rumar with fact ? i have heard about this release with a small 45, all I can say that the second press run of a few titles ptessed in late 71 started with #7245 inst moving foreward to #7249,#7251,#7271,#7274,#7277,#7281,#7284,#7291,#7293,# it is possible a second run went ahead? in fact as we all could of done with a repress of the 7 souls, certainly I am not a lable conpletest and my info based on what I have in personal collection, Bedford Pete is the man he has all the releases I m aware that some of the Demos came in Pcture Sleaves But My copy sleave is so water damaged I did not bother, also I have some brolliant OKeh Adverts Unpublished, Dave Kil

HI ALL ..HERES A QUESTION ABOUT THE COLUMBIA GROUP OF LABELS AND THE ISSUE THAT SURROUNDS THE LARGE & SMALL 45. FIRST I DEFENANTLY HAD JOHNNY MORE ON A LARGE 45 BACK IN THE 7ts CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM THIS FOR ME & I HAVE NEVER SEEN A DEMO OF IT ? MUST EXIST BUT WHY IS IT SO ELLUSIVE?? AND MY SECOND QUESTION IS ON THE MAIN COLUMBIA LABLE ISSUE & DEMO 45 IS NOT ON THE LABEL? EPIC LABEL HAS 45 RPM ON LABEL DATE HAS BIG 45 & SMALL 45 ON ITS ISSUES ONLY WHY????AND HOW COME IN THE 7ts COLUMBIA DEMOS DID USE THE 6ts 45 RPM AND RADIO STATION COPY MESSAGE??? by THE WAY I HAVE JUST PLAYED ALL THESE RECORDS AND THERES NOT A DUFF ONE IN THERE SO IF YOU ARE DJING THIS WEEK i CAN RECOMEND ANY TO REVIVE LEFT TO ME IT WOULD BE THE BIG UN FROM WIGAN 8th AVENUE BAND A CLASSIC DANE KIL

45 RPM is on the columbia label - it's part of the logo at the top
