Pretty sure when it was played in the 80's it was played as an unissued track, I found it in the states about 84 thinking I had a one off just for everyone to say no loads now around! Not sure where the unissued bit came, Mr Croasdell any comments or is it my memory again! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ady Croasdell Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 You know what i can't bloody remember. I think I thought it was LP only and put it on an acetate, it was mainly because Guy used to play that other version which i can't remember either Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

One of my many nearly finds only to find I had been well beaten, again!! Hope its the usual top night tonight, can't make next month either, plans afoot to make every one from April though, if only for the family Sunday lunch which I think should be compulsorary after every one. See you soon Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Leigh J Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This was pressed up on the other side of the Ivorys ? before it was found to be on a 45 , there are loads of versions one by Georgie Fame . Only my opinion but Cleveland Robinson is the version , I can remember Guy hammering it , it was his biggest tune for a few weeks. Around the same time 'The pretty part of you' was getting played C/U as Chuck Jackson ,this was unreleased, anyone know why it was covered up ? Ady?

The whole pressing was done in germany or somehere abroad and that's an original test pressing very rare about 3-10 copies done of each but not all, some of the later ones were without tps.

Yes it was issued on Scepter 1231 in 1962 I was only 9 then, so please forgive me. Might be worth mentioning in your auction text though that "How Young Is Young" wasn't issued on a 45 in the US. Actually, I don't think it ever was released anywhere apart from on that french EP (and on a latter day Stardust 45)? Can't find any US release info for it, not on any of his LPs either. It was recorded during the same March 1964 session where he also cut "It's All A Bad Dream" and "You Made A Man Out Of Me", but "How Young Is Young" seems to have only appeared on this french EP.
