try blue, because every black copy I've had has a slight static distortion on the lows & highs as a pressing defect.

Reason why I said if it plays ok? took me a few copies of "Love Love Love" before I got a one that played without distortion too!

The curse of Mercury / BlueRock styrene!

sold a million copies in the usa 950.000 on black and 50,000 on blue if you got a blue minter best to keep that one.............................. much rarer and not really a 2nd issue

So Blue issues are same as Black with Philips? always thought Black Philips were earlyer, guess I was wrong, appreciate the info, ta

of course blacks are earlier but when this was in the usa charts and it was in for 6 months black turned to blue so the last few orig copies are blue........................simples

or it is in the case of this 45................. black issue from 1960 odd to mid 67 then blue was phased in so any record on philips that was selling well at that time naturally transgressed
