Premium Stuff Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Have seen this around a few times. Anyone know the background please? Looks just like the original. How can you tell the difference? https://www.rarenorthernsoul.com/60s-Northern-USA-UK/25933/take-back-all-those-things-let-her-go/#product Cheers Richard
Guest Bearsy Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Bloody good look a likey it is too, everyone with this will be looking to check their copy lol
Premium Stuff Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Saw one on eBay recently too. Anyone know where these have come from and how you tell them from a legit copy? Cheers Richard Edited March 31, 2013 by Premium Stuff
Guest Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Nearly bought one about a month ago,but I wasn't totaly convinced by its authenticity.looks like I had a lucky escape Chris.
Mal C Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Isn't this the recent número re issue? Darker green label, on vinyl, came with the 50 box set they put out last year... M

M Looks like it Seems there were some other interesting things in that box set like Walter & Admirations, Two Plus Two. Original Mutt is also on vinyl. Anyone got one of these re-issue 45s please who can comment in more detail on the distinguishing features, including dead wax markings? Cheers Richard Edited March 31, 2013 by Premium Stuff
Munchkin Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 omg never seen this one you have to be so careful now days.. 1
Dave Fleming Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 All the Numero Box set 45s,have the own markings on NUM 045 then the number release (in this case 21), also seen the Sag War Fare 45 from this box set selling at £100 allready... Dave f......
Guest Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I think the safest way to buy this ,is to get one that isn't misspelt.Chris.
Raremusicdirect Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 What was the purpose of the box set on vinyl rather than cd ?
Premium Stuff Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 From a Google, I think the release date of this box set was 30 October 2012 - so that might help people worried about their copy Cheers Richard 1
Agentsmith Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 well, ive just bought one, off the back of never having heard it before and, having investigated, viewed a genuine on jm im certainly not going to pay an arm and a leg when this reissue is completely legit. it is a good tune though and you can see why the mutt label has been in the spotlight just recently, some overlooked and underrated stuff on there as well as the jewell in the crown, dusty wilson.
Soul-slider Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) I think the safest way to buy this ,is to get one that isn't misspelt.Chris. Re-issue Original Can't see any difference in the spelling, just a different shade of green. Edited March 31, 2013 by Soul-Slider
Guest Bearsy Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Re-issuemajjestee's mutt re-issue.jpg Originalmajjestee's original.jpg Can't see any difference in the spelling, just a different shade of green. One has black vinyl and by the looks of it the re issue has brown vinyl ...... Bloody good lookalikee copies.
Mal C Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Think it should be noted that these re issues are allot thinner vinyl.... They resemble allot of the 8ts lookalikes, such as Kelly garrett on smash etc... But you notice the difference straight away, it's not original.... Allot of the Mutt releases were pressed at a certain pressing plant in the state, cant remember the name but i'll find it, they also pressed stuff on the Mag logo which all have a ridge about a centemeter from the centre... Two fellows was the same.... Carol jones and sophisticates are slightly different pressed, that's it they are Archer stamped... I need to check but I think certain releases are from a different plant, i may be wrong, but there is allot of info on the label in the book that came with the 50 box I mentioned above... En route home so ill update this post later tonight... Cheers all M Edited April 1, 2013 by Mal.C.

Hi B,have you seen the re-issue in the flesh?.I think Mal is right about the ridge around the centre hole.From the scans this seems to be missing from the Numero one.There is a different spelling of Majestees/Majjestees as well.

I can't see that, pretty sure they are both spelt with the double 'j' Majjestees.... Also, look closer, I think you'll see the re-issue has the ridge too. Edited April 1, 2013 by Soul-Slider

Also, look closer, I think you'll see the re-issue has the ridge too. There are two original releases of the Majjestees/Majestees. One has the band name with two 'J's. The other only one 'J'. I believe the correct group name is with one 'J' and that the original pressing run was a mistake with the two 'J's. On this basis the correct-spelling version was the second batch, but I could be wrong - and I don't think it affects value or anything. I have the version with two 'J's but I'm attaching a scan from a recent eBay sale with the single 'J'. Cheers Richard Edited April 1, 2013 by Premium Stuff 2

Bridgesoceity Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 The 'Rite' refers to The Rite record company pressing plant in Cinncinatti, Ohio. 1955-85
Guest franky m Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 this is the numero uno box set 45 , matrix num45 z1b 18381 it was the only 45 in the box that was pressed off center and was warped.........
Mal C Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 That's it 'Rite' the Mag release I have has that in the dead wax, and is that Margaret Glover release 'this wil never do' same press as two fellows..dusty Wilson. i've gleamed the following from the Eccentric Soul: Omnibus book; So Mutt was owned by Nate Dore, the Majestees was recorded in the summer of 1966, with Fred Bridges at the helm, the initial release sank as did all the Mutt 45's, but the Majestees got a repressing with the typo 'Majjestees'... The backing for these tracks came from La Beat, and were the LPT's.... Mal.C..
Premium Stuff Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 Is that in the actual booklet with the box set Mal? I found this from a google ... #7. The Majestees (Highland Park, MI) - 'Take Back All Those Things/ Let Her Go' (1966): The Majestees entered the studio in the summer of 1966, a shade greener than a 7-Up bottle. The high school variety show celebrities of Highland Park, Michigan recorded "Take Back All Those Things," the band's first original, and "Let Her Go," a sugary dream created by Brothers of Soul's Fred Bridges and Robert Eaton during their brief residency at Inkster, Michigan's Mutt concern. The record was, like every other Mutt-labeled 45, doomed upon release, receiving paltry airplay and an egregious typographical miscrediting: "Majjestee's". The Vietnam draft would tear The Majestees apart in 1968, and give band member Angelo Bond fodder for his co-penned hit "Bring the Boys Home" as rendered by Freda Payne in 1971. Cheers Richard 2
Soul-slider Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Great info Premium Stuff, much appreciated. I got my copy (with 2 'J's) from Soul Bowl years back for £25. One of the best purchases from there. Great track
