selecterDJkirk Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks Steve and everyone, I think I've secured one.
Grayman45 Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Hello there. Just been browsing old wants. Have you still got a Larry Houston, Let's Spend . . . to offer by any chance?
Ric-tic Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 ONE ON EBAY https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/07797745727/m.html?item=120879779866&viewitem=&_trksid=p4340.l2562
Geeselad Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 This isnt the 1st issue is it though? thought I'd seen it with a different font and colour logo, can anyone confirm?
Spook Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I think this is the original release, the 80's remix version is the red label.
Pete S Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I currently have these two copies, the main difference is the typeface, I don't know which is the original and which is the second press
TOAD Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 i think one has a stamped matrix which is the orig the all red is a longer version
Pete S Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 i think one has a stamped matrix which is the orig the all red is a longer version On the two I put up above, the lower case title has an Audio Lab stamped matrix, the other has a weird squiggle matrix. 1
Soulman Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Pete, The one on the right is the first press. I got (allegedly) the second copy when it started getting plays and as it was going big which cost me £50 at the time, possibly the only record that I would lose money on if I sold it now. The second run has the bigger type font on the white / red label. Then there's the later true second issue with the red label, remixed slighly and without the "Ooh" in the break towards the end. I've also had a twelve with the red / white label that apparently is non -existent, but its out there along with "Promise" that also got a 12 release. Steve
TOAD Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 did this get booted i think so as i had one without a stamped audio matrix

Steve £50 notes back in 1979 is worth about £1000 now Top Cat..... what a record, I'm sure I would of paid that it was massive. Edited March 20, 2012 by Prophonics 2029 1
Pete S Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 £50 notes back in 1979 is worth about £1000 now Top Cat..... what a record, I'm sure I would of paid that it was massive. I'd have paid that to have it destroyed.
Steve G Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Just to put this "2nd issue" stuff in perspective, I contacted Larry early in 82 and he sent me 25 copies @ $1 a piece and it included both "first" and "second" issues. Steve 1
Steve G Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) I am talking about the two types Pete S has illustrated. I reckon Larry just got another load done, and that they were fairly contemporaneous time wise. Edited March 20, 2012 by Steve G
Guest Nick Harrison Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) So having read all the above information - is it now clear to firmly establish that the original/first press can be identified as follows : A - Lower case lettered title. B - Time of 3:04 C - Audio Labs stamped in run off D - Hand etched number of HFM 001B also in run off. Yes ? As Pete's copy on the right in post 9 - correct !! Edited March 20, 2012 by Nick Harrison

As Pete's copy on the right in post 9 - correct !! thats what it looks like nick.. but steve g is saying the upper case copies were done pretty much soon after.. is there another label sign all one colour.. redddy orange ..and when was that done
Guest Nick Harrison Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 is there another label sign all one colour.. redddy orange ..and when was that done Is it safe to assume Dave, that the "all coloured label" is the boot, as all the HMFP recorded products had the same common label design. So is HMFP 1005 the longer version on a 45 ? Bet Mr Glyn Thornhill could shed some serious confirmation on the above, well hopefully.
Agent45 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Very slow finding this thread, but I have a VG++ 1st for sale at $30 right now if anyone is looking for it. Sound file
Thecivilservice Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Just added an orginal on ebay, £10 start - EX minus https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261047628521#ht_500wt_1156 Edited June 17, 2012 by thecivilservice
Glynthornhill Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Nick with regard to sheding light Steve Guarnori has described it perfectly - just a different press redone legit from Larry
Arthur Fenn Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 As far as i can recall the 1 on the right would be the first press as i still have this somewhere & its the same copy that i got off Dave Withers or Rod Shard arround 79/80, it was the second copy at that time & if you need a good larf it stands me at both Ever Agains ( thats Bernie & Gene ) ouch! 2

Wow! There's a rumour that a mutual friend may just have traded Cheatin Kind for one as well.... Back then they were just records. Edited June 19, 2012 by Steve G
Arthur Fenn Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Yup! they still are eh Steve , but when you've gotta have em, the things we do , best, Arthur.
Dennisoul Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Yup! they still are eh Steve , but when you've gotta have em, the things we do , best, Arthur. Yep, in a nut shell...lol.......Absolutely love these record swap/ trade stories

Just looked at a copy here ... red/white label with the lowercase title text Audio Labs on the a-side matrix only Don't know if this what people are describing as the "stamp" though Sorry, not the best pic - but tricky one to photograph Anyone confirm please? Cheers Richard
Kjw Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 It's an actual stamp on the first press Richard - AUDIO LABS in capitals in the run out of both sides

Kjw Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 I think it's just a second press Richard, the first one also had a beveled outer edge
