Guest antcole Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Hello everyone, Whilst out digging earlier, I found a copy of the 7" Linda Lyndel "I don't know". It wasn't the blue label with "what a man" on side A, the label was white and it had the song "I dont know" on the flip side as well ! Anyone know anything about this pressing? I've never come across it before... Many thanks Ant
Guest Dave Turner Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 It's a promo. Strange though because the flip of the issue "What A Man" also came out a double-sided promo with the same number https://www.popsike.com/linda-lyndell-rare-soul-funk-mod-break-on-VOLT-listen/190368474794.html
Guest antcole Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 hmmm thats what I was thinking. it's just strange that both sides are exactly the same song...not even an instrumental never came across this 1 before...wonder how many were pressed

And of course there are often stereo/mono versions of the same song back to back.

Guest antcole Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 ah ok cool ! thanks for the information guys peace, Ant
Robbk Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I got the white/blue promo with "I Don't Know" on both sides when the song was first released. It's a legit promo from the period.
