Sebastian Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) Was just digging through some records sorting out new stuff to put on eBay, and came across a turkish DECCA copy of The Volumes "My Kind Of Girl" b/w "My Road Is the Right Road". I'm often amazed by the stuff that was released in Turkey during the 60s, but this is one of the stranger ones in my opinion. Is there an obvious connection between US Inferno and Decca that I fail to see? Did this 45 ever get a UK release?

Not entirely unknown then it seems, but fairly unusual and rare I guess. It does look very nice with that Decca label. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Some scans: Hi Sebastian, I have this record on Japanese London in its own factory sleeve as well. looks great just like your Turkish Decca copy, If I get chance later I will scan it and post it up.

Dave Pinch Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 it was quite a big hit locally in detroit and made the national r and b charts. so maybe coz it made some noise. decca who bearing in mind tried to put out darrell banks over here via london tried their hand with it. maybe they thought they had the rights to it and thought maybe no one would notice............... can you see what im getting at altho i would have said france belgium or holland were more obvious choices dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
