Willie And Anthony 'selfish Lover' Molly-Jo - Boot?

[Duke]

Hello 

 

I bought this a little while ago for just a couple of pounds.  I assumed it was some sort of re-issue but I've seen someone advertise this at three figures. Google searches dont really tell the story. Can anyone help me determine the legitamacy or otherwise of this record? Thanks in advance.

Not a re-issue or boot.

 

I bought it for the flipside, many moons ago, for about fifteen quid.

There are actually 2 Molly Jo 45s with "Selfish Lover", one backed with "One Hand (Wash The Other)", the other backed with "I Can't Leave Your Love Alone" (which is also on Blue Candle 1501).

Very nice mate. The flip I was referring to in my earlier post was "I Can't Leave Your Love Alone".

 

So which was the first release - the Molly Jo?

Molly Jo local release; Blue Candle (TK) national release.

They had a 45 out here on Jay Boy (via TK) but it wasn't this one.

I'm quite into Willie & Anthony's "I'm Tired (Of A One Way Love Affair)" on BLUE CANDLE at the moment.

 

Gutsy, pounding stuff.
