Pat Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I recently came across a copy of I Just Can't Please You by Jimmy Robins on a label I am not familiar with. I've seen this track on Jerhart but this is the first time I've seen it on this label. The label is yellow in colour and carries the number 108, the B side is I Made It Over Any info would be appreciated Cheers Alan Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Amsterdam Russ Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Impression is the first label. The song was picked up by Jerhart in Chicago and became a minor hit reaching something like number 55 in the Billboard R&B charts. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
KevH Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Worth a bit more,longer mix than Jerhart.? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Should be worth a fair bit more Kev. As Russell states above Jerhart is the label on which it was a national hit and we're probably a fair few years away from supply running out on that logo as it seems to have been pressed in the hundreds of thousands rather than even tens of thousands. The Impression release is much, much tougher. In my opinion the nicest way to have this 45 is the Impression WDJ. UK collectors will probably disagree and point to the President demo.

Pete S Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Impression stock copy is the rarest version. As Kev says, from my memory also, it's a different mix. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Garethx Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sorry Russell. Your avatar looks a lot like one another forum member used to use. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Not a problem, Gareth. To the uninitiated, all Clangers look the same... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
