Hi Russ I have had both copies in the past they are the same mix but I have seen far more copies of the yellow Sounds South than the red. I had a yellow copy in my sales box for years before it sold and I only had £25 on it.........value now...........who knows!

Really surprises me that.

I was definately under the impression that the Yellow label was first.

The Red has a very different set of artwork (the design also used on the Sounds South 'Hits' LP).

Typography on the red is generally more 'modern' than the Yellow copy... and in contrast to Val, I've seen more red copies than yellow (e.g. one on eBay right now).

There`s also a later (80`s version) which came out on both a 45 and an LP but im pretty certain it wasn`t on Sounds South (i`ll have to find the LP and look). A nice update but not quite as good as the original version (imho).

Hey Mark

I knew about the LP, but was told it was a different mix of the SS 45, didnt know a 45 existed of this mix. Hope you are well mate, will be good to see you some time soon.
