Okay thanks. All I can see is the 2nd press was released: Oct 1969 but nothing on the first press, be interested to know aswell now. Thanks 

[Chalky]

The tracks weren't copyrighted until Sept 1969. I would imagine the first press was Oct 1969.

Really , which Discogs page are you reading ... ?

[Chalky]

Discogs only has a date for the first release, 1969.  I would imagine the catalogue number (10869) is the date of the press, Oct 8 69?

I think that is mention for a Record World advert

[Kev John]

With 2 variations of label set up !

1st press vinyl as imperfections 

2nd as a better quality of vinyl used

Also add this into the runout matrix  both records photo below

extra info

[Chalky]

any sign of Virtue in the run out as the second press info on discogs suggests Virtue is in the run out.  TVC is the mastering company, they who made the stampers and who often used Superior Pressing plant located next door to them.

Virtue etched in both records Karl

[Chalky]

Records recorded and mastered at Virtue often used the date for the catalogue number, as do the Uplook releases.  Probable they were recorded and mastered at virtue, the metal work done at Tracy Val, pressed at Superior.....just a guess.

His second release was copyrighted Jan 1970 so not long between the releases.  The first maybe sold well enough to warrant a second press in between releases.

I can't find any mention or ad of Charles Mintz in Record World in 1969, ( there is a mention of his followup single in 1970) but I did find this survey with the flip side of the single at #24-

But "Blues So Bad" is listed as the 'A' side on the 'reissue so surely that's what's being referred to in that list above , not likely to be listing the 'B' side of the earlier press surely ?

[Alan T]

This is from Record World November 8th 1969

[Chalky]

So it was getting some action and mentions late 1969, probably enough to warrant the second press.

Those 'mentions' are of the so-called 're-issue'.

We don't know that really.  The first wasn't mastered until 8th Oct so a month later in the mags would fit.  The Blues So Bad side is maybe the one the promotion guys were pushing round the stations.  There is nothing on either press to really denote A or B side.

The credits and info on the labels is the same for both releases.

[Woodbutcher]

My guess would be that the first one of those was the first pressing/release on the label and the repress was done very shortly afterwards following a label design rethink/redesign to produce the much more 'in your face' label that was used in all subsequent releases on the label.

Especially as both have identical run-out markings suggesting the same stamper was used.

That's my guess too especially as the second release one Mintz was very early in 1970.  My guess with there being two presses it did well locally and they wanted to strike whilst the iron was hot with his second 45.
