Arthur Prysock recent If i was a boy release

[Rick Scott]

A 7"  single which has been recently released On a USA Audio Disc called If i was a boy by Arthur Prysock and flew out within hours. 

But the thing is to my ears this is The Allan Scott album track "You were a girl when i needed a Woman" from the 'I needed a Woman' LP (Tower USA) '69

which i used to play out back in the day. So was this just a Cover Up played here in the UK as Arthur Prysock that some one had done in the States?

It has been quoted  as a very rare acetate on the nett, Thoughts anyone? can't be Arthur Prysock surely.

I think Dave Thorley, covered up Allan Scott as Arthur Prysock back in the day or he had an acetate of this by Arthur???

[Chalky]

Dave’s was an uncredited Bell Sound acetate. No one knew who it actually was at the time. Dave played it as AP.  
 

I played it out off the Lp. 
 

Have you a link to the release?

Is this the right one ? I have questioned who's behind the pressing nobody seems to know , but plenty on eBay with the acetate label lookalike , one sided etc , I'd say definitely Allan Scott too

That’s the one, Allan Scott.

one of the sellers is one of those done for bootlegging not so long ago.  The other seller looks to be making them for order, brand new carvers. Their names are on the item page.

mmmmm very interesting and thank you for your input so far Guys And Gals  Pretty much as i thought.

Always thought was a great song and was covered by numerous other Artists 

with different variations of Lyrics and title.

Gordon Waller - I was boy (when you needed a man) (Bell USA & UK) '69

Billie Shields - I was a boy (when you needed a man) (Harbour USA) '69

Bobby Hebb Cadet - I was a boy (when you needed a man) (Checker USA) '72

Maybe more out there but these are ones i am aware of.

Here's a few more Rick, can't speak for all of them, but the one I heard wasn't anything special:

Michael Allen - I Was A Boy When You Needed A Man (USA 1970)

Marakis - Mais Pou Qui, Mais Pourquoi = I Was A Boy When You Needed A Man (CBS France 1970)

Thanks John, nice to hear from you 

Always great to be able to share with others on things like this and i will certainly have a listen to them as sure they will be up there on youtube etc, everyone has different tastes and may take a liking to at least one of the alternative versions we have mentioned which would be good to know
