Imperial records 1968. There's a battered one on ebay at the moment £9.99, but clean ones tend to go through for about £20 I think.

thats brilliant, thanks Dean

Original is on Redd Coach. (At least I'm presuming thatw as the frst label. Only seen W/Demos though. Anyone seen an stocker? Great version.

There's a few contradictions with this rarity

There is a stocker, it has the same flip as the Imperial release. "The Wrong Direction"

The name spelling on the copy i had was ERWIN seems to suggest it is the "first" label. This spelling was used on his earlier 2 Roulette 45s. So you could presume it got changed by Imperial.

The Redd Coach # 917 doesn't fit into the 800 series (Carstairs etc) nor the 700 series (Appointments etc)

BUT although it's been a long time since I've experienced a copy, I seem to remember thinking at the time, it was an obscure 70s "reissue" as it "felt" & looked seventies. I'll have to wait until another turns up, to be more certain of the era.

Doesn't help much does it..

My W/Demo looks like a 60s 45. It also has a vintage distributors sticker on the label (not conclusive I know), but I'd be very surprised if it was a 70s issue. The Cat #s are a quandry that's for sure.

Dave,

You could well be right, cause it's been an age since I've had a copy. Plus, I only knew there was a stock copy 'cause a customer of mine ran it by me recently, he'd found one. I've personally only ever had the promo with one side. If you say it looks 60s, that's good enough for me.. certainly better than my memory.

Was watching this one on ebay a few weeks back, can't remember what it went for but it was less than an Imperial demo that the same seller had up which i found strange. :P

Also,wonder why the Redd Coach was crossed out & replaced with Cub ?

Fab scan, that confirms it's the first label and 60s. Likely they were expecting a CUB release?

Marc,

Check out Issue #7 of There's That Beat! for a scan of the Redd Coach Demo. :lol:

Hi Dave,

nice to see you sorted one thumbsup.gif

the redd coach press is a nice bell sound stamped vinyl press and sounds (IMO) better as the Imperial styrene presses. It´s a while back that I sold my Imperial re-issue, but if I remember right then is the redd coach press 3 or 4 seconds longer, if that cares someone :g:

scan of the flip
