The delcos- Arabia on Delta

[Scottmol]

The delco's arabia on yellow Delta 100A- is this a second issue/reissue or released at same time as showcase. And is the delta the same version as showcase ? The showcase version seems to fetch a bit more £££

[Dave Rimmer]

I've never heard of a copy on Delta. But what do I know LOL

These are the two releases I do know.

Ebony 01 - Arabia / These Three Little Words - 1962 (Backed by the Buddy Kay Band)
Showcase 2501 - Arabia / Those Three Little Words - 1963 (Backed by the Boots Randolph Band) (released as white Demos, and blue, green, and red label issues)

Boot then probably. Got mine on showcase but seen a yellow delta copy for 1/2 the price and just wondered. 

[Chalky]

boot if I remember rightly, very little info on label

[Scottmol]

An Italian eurobeat label apparently according to info on discogs. Founded in 1995 so safe to say it's a boot.

It's a '90s reissue of the version on Showcase.

Story goes Fred Foster secured the Ebony master as a lease in from their manager Juanita Henson, and had intended it for his new Showcase label, but an agreement with Henson and Foster meant it ended up being re-recorded at Nashville using established and respected Monument musicians (Bill Justis, Boots Randolph etc). Showcase 'became' Sound Stage 7 as a result of some kind of label registration problem I believe.
