Tlscapital Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Hi, Do you know which was the first issue Pink or Grey label & which is rarer? Cheers Sean P Pink was the first color for the first 8 Ovide's releases. This one is the second 45 of the label. Then Grey and after orange and later red + blue on white. The grey for '1000 wonders' is a re-release to meet demand but it seems to be less common to come by in my book. They are both very desirable and command the same price I'd believe. 1

Tlscapital Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Late Thank-you kindly for your input, I have a Grey copy hence my enquiry, do you know the dates of both releases? - thank you again. Mid to late 1968.
Dave Pinch Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Late Mid to late 1968. it preceeds tighten up by archie bell by a couple of numbers....i thought it was early 1968 or even 1967....this is my copy in the you tube clip altho i never posted up..someone nicked my scan...the 67 could be the year.....the grey one is about a year later i think Edited December 25, 2014 by dave pinch

Ovide (222) first release is often dated 1967 (studio recording sessions september 1967). And indeed 'tighten up' IS released (Ovide 228) march/april 1968 and so counting/guessing about a month between each release for such a "small" project label is setting Ovide 223 @ october/november 1967. 1
