Just "won" this on eBay and the seller says it is the first issue before polydor - is that correct?

Thanks

Thanks, just trying to work out which one to keep

i also hav this on wam,they did another great tune on wam MAKIN OF LOVE(harder to get).

they were a canadian group,so wether it came out 1st on wam or polydor or uk bus stop @ same time?.all 3 labels play @ diff times.

wam the longest,polydor(short version)shortest & bus stop in between.

I have all it on all three labels and I also think cos they are Canadian the Wam release is the first issue. Wam label looks better than Polydor but I couldn't decide which to keep so kept em all.

Makin of love also on Wam choon

I was told they had more than five releases on WAM

I have

TCATTCAD /He's a rebel on WAM 901 1975 theres also a pressing with the disco version on wam as well , it depends which pressing you have mine plays the same length as Polydor,bus stop issues

Making of Love/To wake up each morning WAM 909 1976

We've gone to far/Love signs WAM 101 1977

"We've gone to far" is for me just as good a side as "There'll come a time". and "the Making of love"

There was some discussion on this a few years ago on here. Can't remember the ins and outs, but Steve Plumb is your best point of contact as I seem to remember him explaining all.

Cheers

I think Steve's article was regarding Canadian only release but Basic, Black and Pearl did get a mention.

I have a spare copy of There'll Come a Day if someone wants to PM me with an offer.

Just to add to the mix...issued on Canadian Bus stop as well. I used to have a copy but flogged it and kept the US polydor. No scan I'm afraid as I didn't have a scanner at the time.

I have "We've Gone Too Far"/cw "Love Signs" on WAM, but labelled as by Sharon Lee Williams..!?? I like both sides and have always regarded "We've Gone.." as having potential given the exposure. "Love Signs" is a very contemporary 1977 sound with a nice guitar break. (Think it was 30p from Keith Minshull of all people!) Similarly, I found "There'll Come A Time" (on Polydor) in a junk shop for 50p C.1976, but sold it cheap C.1989, before anyone really took an interest. I always liked it though.

More...

I've had two different Polydor 7" demos of this...one was a mono/stereo release of the standard mix with one label being white and t'other side red; the other variant has the standard length one side and the extended 'disco' version on t'other (white labels both sides).
