Ty Karim - You Really Made It Good On Ebony

[Guest Paulie D]

I have Ty Karim's - You Really Made It Good on the Ebony label, I got it in the UK back in '88. Light blue label with the big hole in the middle, says promotional copy with unissued track on the flip, think it's Ain't that love enough, not sure. Have never seen another copy anywhere. I know the original is on Romark but this doesn't look like your average boot, it looks like an authentic reissue or possibly licenced UK issue. Anyone got any info on it?

It's a reissue (unsure of status) with a previously unissued take of "Ain't That Love Enough".

The original of "You Really Made It Good....." came out on both Romark and Senator.

Thanks Gene. Status would be nice. If it's an official UK release then it's playable, if it's a boot, it goes back into the box

i've also got this on Ebony, not sure if this is a boot or a legal reissue, however it is in one of John Manships price guides at £50.........

You gotta admit though, it does look the real deal. Doesn't look like it was knocked out in a shed as most boots do. And if it was booted, why not on Romark?

Legal release - I stand to be corrected but as far as I know it was issued in the 1980's and Ty's version of "ain't that love enough " was never previously released until then - only the version by Larry Atkins of course - the lyrics are very similar to "I ain't lyin " which Ty Karim did at a 100 mph

Phew!

its a legal re issue. And first time out for aint that love enough.

But i thought it came out in 1990. I`m sure johnny manship had em brand new.

Even though at 42 my memory might be going
