Charlotte Stokes - Is This The Price I Have To Pay (TIP)

Was it an official release or boot?

[Goldsoul]

An official release limited to 300 for the Northern market.

This was a demo that turned into Change My Darkness Into Light- The Flirtations on Josie.

Herb Abramson, one of the original founders of Atlantic records and owner of the Festival label pressed the copies for me in 1978.

After servicing one or two fellow DJs it sank without trace, probably due to the playlist at the time......Muriel Day, Joe 90, Kiki Dee etc etc.

thanks guys

Kawakid- Read the information above. It's not from any LP. I had the only poor quality acetate of which the owner of Festival records agreed to a 300 only pressing in 1978.

TIP was a name given to the label by owner Herb Abramson.

I think I put the last hundred copies in Soul packs circa 1980.

Hopefully clears that one up.

The popsike oracle says so as well Grant. A few records I have its obvious that they sent an acetate too the pressing plant, so like this thats thr best your going to get.
