Evening gents! Yes, Ill take some pics of it and post them up tomorrow :hatsoff2:

One things for sure, it will also look great in amongst a line of UK 45's and would also freak deck-spotters out as well  :thumbup:

:hatsoff2: HI DAVE... DID THIS RARE 45 COME OUT BEFORE OR AFTER THE MAMAS & PAPAS EP? :g: DAVE K

 

Good question...before is the answer according to the original trade catalogue...the Willie Hutch 7" was scheduled for March '66 (whether it made it out of the factory I don't know), whilst the 4 track 7" EP featuring The Duck (but not LRO) was from a few months later during June. Even though the 4 track features the Mamas & The Papas, it is also rare...maybe the varied musical selection was too varied to sell in/out of shops?

:hatsoff2:

Hi Dave, I know you showed me that scan at News Year Eve Va Va Voom, but it really is amazing to think this got some sort of release in Japan….

 

Totally amazing considering the size of catalogue RCA had to plunder! Obviously it was a dip into the Dunhill side of things, seeing as that label was enjoying a bit of success at that point. What is a real shame though is that there were hardly any RCA 60's Soul releases in Japan at all...no Pied Piper***, no Roy Hamiltons, no Lorraine Chandlers etc.

:hatsoff2:

(***- worth a mention that The Hesitations', "Is That The Way To Treat A Girl" did make it through on Japanese GWP...rare!)

:hatsoff2: Hi I really have not got a clue what the value of your classic Jap 45 will end up at, as it is unique at a guess the min value is £5K and that is very conservative, it certainly is an investment,

I was going to buy the EP from a mutual friend & collector of rare soul, as you say it is rare in it's own right, I can't say what price he asked on a open forum, however I considered it to be a bargain, in the end I could  not see it as a part of my collection as I collect UK & US originals from the northern scene 68 to 77 with a few exception's,  I have spent years trying to find the Gene Pitney cover of Doug Banks "keep on dancing" on a European EP, this is not me having a laugh, it's not the holy grail but very rare?

:yes: DAVE K
