pikeys dog Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It might well have come from the US, but it's highly likely that it's a (Pittsburgh) bootleg. Let's not forget that no end of records on Motown and other R&B labels were booted at the time. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 BOTH of those have to be bootlegs. I was in Chicago and Detroit the whole year that was out and never saw that variation. I also traveled across USA that year and never saw it. I never saw any Ric Tic official pressings on that design. The original may have been a US boot. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

dthedrug Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hi All All I can add to my comments is this, back in the 70s, when I had a decent collection, I was lucky to have a job that bought me to be in touch with some of the top US SOUL STARS who toured the UK, and because of time spent with them, I learnt quite a lot of info, the RIC TIC LABLE was a favourite of Alexis Korner, and I remember one breakfast with him and Jimmy Helms talking about DETROIT, both were impressed by my knowledge of soul music (basic stuff to you lot) I am sure that it was Alexis who told me that many of Detroit records were pressed up in Canada, (the old brain teaser, if you are in Detroit and walk due South, what's the next country you land up in? Canada) so it's pressing plant is used, why not compare your DETROIT RECORDS with the RIO RECORDS and see if you have any examples of this, sadly I can't do this for you, About the lines on records, I worked with KOOL & the GANG, and they had their roots with ED KYSER, if you come across a copy of the SUPERLATIVES I STILL LOVE YOU with lines on comes from the same pressing plant, in Canada?

Robbk Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The Canadian issue was on REO. If this was pressed in Canada, it was paid for by Ed Wingate, made to distribute to the US market, in a rush job, because all the Detroit-Area plants were booked, and he wanted them sent to his distributors immediately. Motown did that with a Marvelettes and a Miracles record (they were pressed on a solid yellow Tamla script print label (with no globes logo). That looks like a boot as well, but it was a legit release. This may have been the same situation with Wingate. Usually this happens with a big hit, when store orders outstrip store stock on hand, and the orders at ALL the local plants (Archer, American(Detroit) Columbia (Terre Haute, Ind.)) are backed up resulting in several days to a week or two delay. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
pikeys dog Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Here's John Manships final post on that earlier thread... Posted 22 May 2006 - 09:05 AM richie, I think I can throw some light on this strange press. I've only found this variation in Los Angeles. It was common practice for big hits to be bootlegged by the "backdoor". I mean when this hit the charts someone in L.A. decided to press it and supply the shops, usually from the trunk of a car. I think it's a 60s bootleg or it may have been a legit West Coast press because shipping 1000s of 45s from Detroit to the West Coast would have been very expensive. But there is no New York variation presses of the 45, so my thoughts are it was a 60s boot..and there are quite a few of this type of pressing. Linda Jones - Hypnotized - on Loma vinyl jumps to mind.. john I had one in my hands on my last trip to Allentown, and let's just say that if it wasn't a counterfeit, then I'm a six-foot-plus Adonis with a knob like a Donkey.
