Abc Records - Joey Gee, Dawn

[Hill868]

Anyone know why Joey Gee ' It's more than I deserve ' and Dawn ' Baby's gone away ' appear on both ABC Paramount, and the later ABC label, both seen on black issue and white demo on the Paramount label, but I've only seen demos of both on the other imprint (with the Abc in a circle). J. Manship has a Dawn demo on his site at present. Surely both weren't reissued ? According to an ABC US discography on the internet, the Paramount label finished at 10803, and releases after this are the later design, and as these two are 10781 and 10791, they shouldn't be ?!

Close enough to the label switch over to have been pressed up on later version of label ..... IF .... a radio DJ had gotten behind either 45 and was playing it in his area for a few weeks or he had reactivated it coz it was a personal fave. If that was the case, it could easily have prompted label promo team to have 2nd press done & sent them out with sheet saying "big in Jackson" (or wherever). 

These two 45's released in Feb / March 1966 with label changeover coming in April 66.
