Folks

I bought an Uptite demo of "More Today Than Yesterday" which I hoped had "Is It Love" on the flip as the issue does. However, this was not the case and it had "More Today...." on both sides. John Manship's book lists "Is It Love" as the A/plug side so wondering if this is genuine or some dodgy boot?

Picture attached.

Any ideas?

I seriously doubt it is a bootleg.

Manship's guide listing the other side as the a-side doesn't mean it was the promoed side. A large percentage of northern sides are really the b-side and if he tried to list the "true" a-side first it would probably be confusing as a northern soul focused guide.

Some but not all of their Uptite releases were released "same sided" on the white promo copies, with just the plug side on both. You'll have no doubt noticed "Is It Love" was also released on Uptite 13 but the white label promo copy of this 45 does in fact have both songs like the stock copy (Piece By Piece / Is It Love).

thanks chaps, most useful!
