King Diamond

[Liljimmycrank]

I was fortunate enough to pick up a copy of this incredibly soulful tune a while ago:

King Diamond - A message to a black woman

Besides it being a fantastic funky crossover gem that seems to be getting some spins of late and demand going up, i searched on ebay t'other day and noticed there's one on there but a different coloured label. to mine.

Just wondered what the difference between the blue label and the orange/reddy pink label is?

Cheers

Arron , got to agree with ya mate - its an amazin tune and rapidy becoming a fav @Riley Smith .Think non blue label is rarer , though may be wrong

This is O C Tolbert under a pseudonym. Message is a great tune, but IMO the other side That's All She Wrote (also covered by Gil Billingsley) is even better. A perfect piece of austere soul.

That's what I thought andy but only based that on recent prices, which as we all know shouldn't be taken as gospel!

Anymore info anyone?

[Guest carl_p]

personally had more of the red/orange ones.

The blue issue seems to be less commonly available.

This is a tune you can still pick up for a tenner if you look around (pink/orange issue)

But not for long as it is being picked up on..

Great tune - both sides

Good old CM - always on top of it price wise!

Maybe I was a bit ambitious with the tenner - although I got one not long ago for £6. Result for once

But $150 is steep - £40 should get one easy enough.

[Guest selectasoul]

Can't give you the link, but I have one on ebay for a $100 at the moment.

There is a also a white/grey promo for the red/orange design release.

[Liljimmycrank]

Anyone know the reason for the difference in label?

seem to have established blue is harder than orange, with demo (thanks flynny) hardest of the lot

[Guest Polyvelts]

I like the faded denim look on the blue one !
