Mal C Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago This is a brilliant record, but I did not realise there are two mixes of this track on Mary Jane label. Maybe the Detroit aficionados out there can fill us in, but I was just listening to the auction JM has at the moment, on the Chequered (Full) label, and the one I have on which has white top / below label. I can see they are actually different release numbers, so why did this get two releases? Malc Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Solidsoul Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Bought my copy at Dave Withers Manchester indoor market stall, roundabout 1985. It was 30p. Also bought 4 copies of The Newsounds on Mod Art for 30p each, on the same day. These records weren't in fashion at that time.

Tlscapital Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Total different takes. Rawer but 'HOT '. Even the flip side 'Tell Me' of Mary Jane 1003 is a different take than the one on the flip of 'Baby Don'tYou Weep' on Mary Jane 1005. My real preference was to discover that side while I initially bought it for the alternative take of 'My Darling Baby'. That to this day I still prefer 'polished' as on Mary Jane 1010.

The two first sharing La Beat numberings 6703 and 6707 evidently. Then followed the proper Mary Jane catalog numbering system 1002 up to 1010. Mary Jane 1005 'Baby Don't You Weep' Copyright was registered in June 1967. Could be released later though. Until someone comes up with such a 'new release' press review or a radio chart featuring the tune to determine better it's actual date of release...

I think that Mary Jane 1010 was released later, in 1968, as an alternate takes re-issue. But I think all the recordings were made in 1967. I've always wondered why Edward's back-up group's name was changed to The Natural Looks. I never heard of the latter as an appearing group, nor have I ever seen a venue poster of an appearance by them. When Edward was asked about that name change he said it was his original Arabians group that recorded both versions. So, I think that The Arabians, including Edward may have already been done dealing with Beatty when he re-issued the record. But, I wonder why The Natural Looks were listed on the record. I've forgotten about whether or not The Fifes were a later group, or just a re-naming of The Arabians by Beatty when leasing out The Arabians' tapes to other labels after Hamilton and his group had moved on. I don't remember hearing or reading about Edward answering that question. Maybe someone else here knows about why those other group names appear on later issues?
