Dave Thorley Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 I know the Gloreco copies are the Detroit release of this, but whats the story on PG label copies on these the song is credited to Tony Clard, not Tony Clark, just a spelling mistake or are these bootlegs.
Marc Forrest Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 A can of worms...at least it used to be whenever that question came up... The PG definitely is a later press, most believe it is a bootleg. All owners of a PG press obviously think different ;)

Premium Stuff Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Agree the PG copies look wrong - although I have only seen pics of that one, not had it in my hand. I think Manship auctioned one as an original a few years ago didn't he? PG copy has gone for almost USD $900 according to Popsike. Cheers Richard
Benji Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Agree the PG copies look wrong - although I have only seen pics of that one, not had it in my hand. Neither had I but I agree with you. It's the font that doesn't look right, isn't it?
Dave Thorley Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Your right Benji, that type face on the PG looks like late 60's, early 70's. Just wrong for a record that came out in the early 60's. Plus so much of the info on it is wrong, looks like a rushed pressing. Edited June 10, 2013 by Dave Thorley
Mark B Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Could it have been done for he beach scene Dave, they have a tendency to change the name slightly and possibly details on the label.
Robbk Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 sherri taylor1.jpg Your right Benji, that type face on the PG looks like late 60's, early 70's. Just wrong for a record that came out in the early 60's. Plus so much of the info on it is wrong, looks like a rushed pressing. I concur. The font definitely looks like a '70s font. That font just didn't exist in Detroit pressing plants in the early 1960s. My guess is that it's a '70s boot, or, possibly (but a lot less likely), a legitimate re-issue, with some participation by the original rights holder. 1
Premium Stuff Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Brad got a decent price for one a few months ago I recall - that's a PG copy not the Gloreco. Current Manship's Guide has Gloreco at £400 and PG at £450!! I wouldn't touch a PG copy - that's for sure. Cheers Richard Edited June 10, 2013 by Premium Stuff 1

Hi Rob & Mark could be that the producer did it as a re-issue, PG in the 70's hence the name being the same as his initials. But the the family in Detroit that owed Gloreco also owned the rights to it, so he must have done a deal with them or not and hoped they wouldn't find out. I'm also sure that someone in Detroit told me that the family weren't aware of the other release, so the plot thickens. I'm sure I wouldn't pay much for a PG copy, all in all something ain't right there. As for Johns valuation, none of us know everything. Edited June 10, 2013 by Dave Thorley
Dimples Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Gloreco is the real deal. PG is a bad (expensive) joke i.e. bootleg.
Guest penny Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 An old bootleg, loads of copies turning up ... just needs an 'outa sight' re-issue now to finally kill it off.
nickp Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) An old bootleg, loads of copies turning up ... just needs an 'outa sight' re-issue now to finally kill it off. Already been done. Edited June 11, 2013 by nickp
Dave Pinch Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 that out a site format should be the most expensive format if the pg copy is fake and the amount of gloreco copies currently surfacing
Prophonics 2029 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Must check it but its an RCA stamp on the Gloreco.
Frankie Crocker Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 The Gloreco copies appear to be from one main source, namely Brad. Anyone out there who can put a figure to the quantity that have turned up? Any info would be appreciated as I intend to upgrade my VG copy at some stage but need to know when to join the bidding wars... Thanks

Thanks I don't think he got many copies left as he got these nearly 2 years ago and I think all the stone mint ones have gone now. So all he has are a handful of the lesser graded ones.

Dave Thorley Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 How much was he selling them for ? He was getting about £400 on the mint ones, the lesser one, don't know
Guest gaz thomas Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) this is one 45 that i would not touch over 75, its a fifty quid record. The lavonne bridges 45 on the same label is much better and rarer.... in my oppinion many copys of this sheri taylor turned up in detroit as unplayed stock a few year ago brad h found them, and sold them on e bay ( am i wrong) good 45, dont get me wrong but one 45 that i always thought we were paying to much for when it was big mick smith would have sold them for 8 quid in the 80s i think there are loads of them so would advise you not to pay much the other 45 on gloreco if brad has quantity fair play i bought mine of john manship years ago i was under the impression it was from a dj called shifty and was his old copy i have no idea who he was but i may have gone to southend and got a tape its a great record it was also fred bridges very first outing singing and writing Edited July 23, 2013 by gaz thomas

If you haven't got one I don't think you will get one for 75 quid mate - not unless there are another couple of boxes in reserve that will bring the price down significantly. Cheers Richard
Andreas B Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 If you haven't got one I don't think you will get one for 75 quid mate - not unless there are another couple of boxes in reserve that will bring the price down significantly. I can wait for that.
Gene-r Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) it was also fred bridges very first outing singing and writing Interesting - if that's the case, then this would date the Lavonne Bridges (and possibly the Sheri Taylor) at around 1961 - 62. Edited July 23, 2013 by Gene-R
Prophonics 2029 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Its an RCA matrix stamp so should be easy to date.

Cheers Richard yes im not wanting to buy any gloreco 45s, i have them all. i just think the fred bridges is the best record out of the three thats my oppinion its a nice 45 it is rarer than the sherri taylor 45 the preston smart 45 may be even rarer, but it is crap you only want that if you are collecting labels so there you have it Edited July 24, 2013 by gaz thomas

Yep - to now put a finer point on it, I read of a release date for the Gloreco issue of November 1962 a few months ago. According to the RCA matrix stamp, it was definitely released in 1962 in any case. Edited June 2, 2016 by Gene-R

Thx I have no idea but someone will hopefully know, just thought it was good to post it and see I am sure someone know of Graham (I don't know him) but he has somewhat of a pedigree, it appears "As a Press Officer for Pye Records and later CBS Records in London, Graham handled the publicity for several former Motown artists, including Gladys Knight & The Pips and Edwin Starr whilst with Pye (through their licences with Buddah and 20th Century Records respectively) and would work with Gladys Knight & The Pips (again!), Billy Griffin and Marvin Gaye whilst at CBS Records. As a journalist for Melody Maker, Blues & Soul, Record Buyer and several other outlets, he has interviewed many Motown greats, including Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, The Temptations, The Commodores, Hal Davis, High Inergy and Harvey Fuqua, among others. During the course of writing the Motown Encyclopedia, he has re-acquainted himself with many former Motown artists, checking facts and feats and getting the background stories to some of the greatest music ever produced. In short, nearly forty years of music industry experience has resulted in the definitive book about Motown." Edited February 4, 2020 by Blackpoolsoul
