[Guest rnb1980]

hi!,

could anyone talk about the frank cherval issues? including label pics, please.

is this the first issue?

and what's about the dj issue (ref K-13095)? sorry, no pic.

thanks in advance!

I'm convinced this is the original version of "How Come". The US DJ copy has a handwritten date of September 1962, which is just over a year before Tony Williams' version on Philips (not sure about Byrdie Green on End though).

Nice version, though IMO the Tony Williams version is far superior and more soulful.

not sure about Byrdie Green on End though

Also 1962 for this one.

Also agree that Tony Williams is the best version.

Don't think either versions compare to Birdie Green, plus you get the added bonus of the excellent tremblin' on the b-side

Seconded.

Think the Frank Cherval is 'orrible to be honest

Vocals are far too twee and teeny.

I remember Nige Shaw trying to palm one off to me at Hednesford, many moons ago.

Didn't have a player with us at the time, and he told me it was a great version.

Needless to say it went straight back to him the following week
