Servicemen....patheway

[Jez Jones]

...dont think this has been covered before (apologies if it has)...

 

The .cartoon man' label of INAHH on Patheway......what is the 'score' with the reversed label pressings

 

Are they more prevalent than the correctly labelled pressings...or are they rarer....Not seen too many of the correcly labelled ones....but I haven't really been looking tbf

 

What is the value of each ?.......or is one significantly cheaper than the other 

 

thanks

Not seen that many with the labels the wrong way, obviously I'd rate those less in price than a perfect one. I paid £80 or so for my cartoon 45, very very mint condition..if thats of any help...

Funny I have only seen them the wrong way round! Funny business this record thing eh?

 

Personally I always wanted a genuine orange/black copy, based on the fact that I had only seen the multi-coloured label copies.

[Stevegods]

Mines the wrong way round ... and someone has altered the label accordingly ....

 

Only paid £4 for mine but that was back at Wigan long time ago ...

I can't remember having a right way round one.  Watch out for the rare boot of the orange label though.

[Soul-slider]

I have an orange one, not sure if it's a boot though?

[Mal C]

'Rare Boot"!! thats got me scurrying back the the racks to check.. mines has labels the right way round and is an MR stamp (69165)... thats deffo a sixties release isnt it?

Pete means orange boot Mal.

 

69165 is right and same # for orange original.

Orange boot has that 'typical' ridge around the middle doesn't it, as Rod says orange original has MR stamp. Anything else other than Tobbe Bowe on Patheway?

Remind me, is the Pathway release a monarch press?

One of the Servicemen is still alive by the way.  I was in touch and he is in a home but they have moved him and US laws won't allow them to tell me where.

[Dave Pinch]

the orig orange is styrene same  as the cartoon design.....orange boot is vinyl with crap sound quality and a dodgy delta stamp.......i seen the cartoon with mainly reversed labels too hardly ever with labels correctly

[jocko]

Mine was labels right way round, sold it about 20 years ago to very little interest!

Ok Chalkywhat does/did he remember of those recording sessions,and of the other members?Which member is he,in relation to the singing?Any idea of where the inspiration for the songwriting came from,although a Hadley Murrel produced project...?Sorry to deviate off topic if this is inconvinient.My Pathway is the cartoon little brown man image,labels correct,matrix correct and Monarch stamp,styrene press(and mint condition as I never play records.)

[Chalky]

We never got that far, it was just chats via Skype really at first.  I set up a t date to do a proper interview two or three times but something always got in the way over there.  Then he was moved.  I'm waiting for my initial contact with him to try and sort something for me to do a proper interview and get his story out there.

 

In the mean time here they are and their names......

Apart from the orange boot looking dirty and print slightly smudged, the track sounds faster than the proper one, a bit bit like the Duracell Bunny on the skins, man!

[Wiganer1]

my patheway copy has labels right way round
