This 45 was officially issued twice back in the US ...............

First in 1963 when Roulette were trying to break Sam & Dave as a hit act and then again in 1966 when the duo were making hits for Stax.

Can't tell if the 45 on ebay is a US or Canadian copy.

A Baltimore 45 chart from 1966 ...............

Check out the tracks at # 21 & # 37 ....

[TOAD]

so thats three versions ?

[Donkit]

Did this come out on the UK King label with a slightly differrent take ?

[TOAD]

yes don

[Denbo]

I'm only aware of two takes. The Uk King release with little or no femme backing. And the US / Canadian take, complete with full femme backing. Is somebody saying there's a third take?

[TOAD]

this canadian want has come up before on here, i too have the uk and usa 45 i even think i posted them up in refosoul many years ago

[Roburt]

So did the Canadian copy come out in 1963 or 1966 ???

If it was 1966, it could have had bits added (femme backing vocals) to make it sound more up-to-date.
