Mick Howard Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Can someone settle an argument please? Did HB Barnums It Hurts Too Much To Cry come out on British? And if so with picture sleeve? Mick Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Rob Wigley Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Can someone settle an argument please? Did HB Barnums It Hurts Too Much To Cry come out on British? And if so with picture sleeve? Mick I think it was German with the pic sleeve--not 100% sure though- I think Simon Twiddy had it from Boston-may have sold it to Andy Rix ?

Chalky Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) looking at popsike it was/is an ep https://www.popsike.c...0267208753.html here's the blurb.... Artist: H.B. BARNUM Title: The Great H.B. Barnum Tracks: How Many More Times?, It Hurts Too Much To Cry, Take Me Out To The Ball Game, Coming 'Round the Mountain Label: RCA Victor RCX-7147 As you'll see from the photo, this is guaranteed to be the ORIGINAL 1964 UK 1st pressing. A simply incredible item that just never gets offered for sale - especially in this condition - any fan of H.B. Barnum or Northern Soul music in general will simply have to have this beautiful EP in their collection!!!! Edited March 20, 2010 by chalky Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Benji Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Never came out in Germany or at least I never heard of or seen a german issue. But it was released in Spain on an EP, see scan... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

My Spanish is as good as my German Benji (even after 4 years of DJing there !)--is the track list the same ?? Rob Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Rob, tracklisting seems to differ from the UK EP: es triste llorar = it hurts too much to cry corazones solitarios = lonely hearts (flip to the US release and not on the UK EP) I'm sorry but I don't know the other two tracks as my spanish is very limited and I don't own the EP myself Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
