Gene-r Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) I've always been confused regarding the situation of the promo release of Kenard's "What Did You Gain By That?/My Garden Of Eden" on Dore. I know that the double-sided demos with the same track each side are definitely original, but what about the dark-green label ones with My Garden Of Eden on the flip-side? My belief is that it is a legitimate early '70s pressing by Dore. Like some other Dore releases from the '60s, it goes a shade of mottled brown when held up to the light. The top side has a delta matrix dating it from 1970, and the B-side's delta matrix dates that side from 1966. It has a bevelled edge, but I feel that this is a 'red-herring' when trying to pin a re-issue tag on it. Sounds like it has all the makings of a legal Dore press. Anyone know about its origins, and when it was likely to have dated from? Gene Edited June 18, 2008 by Gene-R

"my garden of eden" is the Entertainers IV song (at least to my ears)
