Liljimmycrank Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) 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 Azza 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Reed Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) 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.

Anymore info anyone? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

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 ATB Greg. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Reg Scott Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Craig Moerer has one @ $150 https://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item4835426144 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. Regards Greg.

Liljimmycrank Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
