Simon T Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 What is the song title on the other side of the record? What is the catalog number of the record? 003?

boba Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 i have this, this isn't like a valuable record or anything if you were checking for that. tommy and liz lands lived in both chicago and atlanta, and most of liz' 45s were pressed on atlanta labels, it's not that strange that it was released in atlanta. also, if there is a motown recording, it's not clear whether it is the same recording or if they re-recorded it and released it.
Agent45 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Tommy Brown has talked before about trying to break Liz into Motown. To some degree it worked since she did record there, but obviously, they passed on this song. I'm not exactly sure who ran the Hale label here in Atlanta but Tommy had all kinds of connections so getting it placed with a Paul Mitchell Trio song on the flip isn't at all difficult to imagine. And Bob, I'd like to think it *is* a valuable 45, at least because I recently picked up a 2nd copy (not realizing I had one filed in my GA boxes for who knows how long). It's definitely the first one I've laid eyes on in long enough to have forgotten about it.
boba Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 rarity isn't value though. you think it's quality enough to be valuable? because liz has a bunch of other crappy 45s (not an indictment of her, she was a great singer).
Agent45 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Not necessarily to this crowd, Bob, but I think you may have missed my obvious tongue in cheek comment from the previous post.
boba Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 man, i can't even understand british people on here, now i can't understand americans
