I have recently bought these two Styrene press Label Variations for The "In" Crowd.

They appear to be Columbia press in style though don't have ZTSC, ZTSB or ZTSP Stamp

 

The strange thing is that they all look the same at a glance until you study them.

When I first started collecting I bought the DEMO and the Stock Copy thinking that was it.

 

How wrong I was. There's at least 5 different Stock Copies on Charger

 

It's one of the first records I bought in 1969 yet here in 2013 I discover

that there's potentially more to learn about this release.

 

The Monarch and Hollywood Press has the CR-1012 Matrix for THE "IN" CROWD  and CR-1012 45x132 for BE A MAN

 

Whereas these have CR-1011 Matrix for THE "IN" CROWD and CR-1012 for BE A MAN

 

 

Does anyone know why there is a difference with the Matrix.

 

 

STYRENE PRESS : CR 1011 Matrix CRG - 105 at bottom of Label

CR-1011 (1B)--------------------------------CR-1012 (1C)

 

STYRENE PRESS : CR 1011 Matrix CRG - 105 at side of Label

CR-1011 (1A)--------------------------------CR 1012 -1E

MONARCH PRESS : No Number Under LOGO

Stamped Matrix on "B Side"

 

 

HOLLYWOOD PRESS :

 

An ad for the 45 ............

 

An LA club gig he undertook ............

 

Being Charger's best-seller, it was probably outsourced to various pressing plants to cope with the demand.

 

The yellow Charger label looks good!

I first saw a Scan of the Yellow Copy on the >>> <<< thread from 2007

 

Took quite a while to find a copy.

 

Not sure If the Yellow was Intended or a Mistake at the printers using the same colour paper as the parent Crusader Label.

a number 13 pop hit in the usa and most likely pressed all over the usa. his only real hit on charger.....  also no 11 r n b...see you at the go go made 69 on the pop charts but didnt make the soul charts..out on the floor did nothin at all
