Pete S Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) THis is on Roger's list - 7 Lee & The Leopards - Trying To Make It b/w Come Into My Palace - Gordy (7002) (WDJ) £70.00 well known rare Motown record - but I've got it on Laurie demo, who obviously licensed it from Motown. Has anyone else got it on Laurie - I don't think it even makes the price guide. Edited February 23, 2009 by Pete S Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Hi Pete, Aint ever seen one but it is listed on the Laurie Discography, which has many other surprises that I weren't aware it released. Interesting one I have to say. https://www.globaldogproductions.info/l/laurie.html Al Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks for the info Al. Definitely a strange one. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Definitely a strange one. Indeed. Also strange that there is more than a full year between the Gordy and Laurie releases. The 45 on Gordy was issued in April 1962 and the Laurie 45 was issued in October 1963. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Indeed. Also strange that there is more than a full year between the Gordy and Laurie releases. The 45 on Gordy was issued in April 1962 and the Laurie 45 was issued in October 1963. So according to the Soul Police the Laurie 45 is a reissue and therefore worth f*ck all, isn't it?

Ian Dewhirst Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Indeed. Also strange that there is more than a full year between the Gordy and Laurie releases. The 45 on Gordy was issued in April 1962 and the Laurie 45 was issued in October 1963. Very weird because one would have assumed that Berry Gordy would have got exclusive national rights in '62. It's a William Stevenson song and Jobete copyright so it's absolutely a weird one. Berry Gordy must have given permission for Laurie to issue it. My guess is that was experimenting. Maybe he thought that a hot New York label might have better promotion in the Pop markets? It was 1962 so still early days and long before boom time. Either way there's a story there......

Ian Dewhirst Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Thanks for the info Al. Definitely a strange one. Pete, glad you like my beautiful Todd Rundgren UK Bearsville copy in your avatar! It's for sale if ya want it LOL...... Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Liamgp Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Guess so! Surely you mean 'original East Coast issue'?? Speculation leads me to suspect that Gordy wanted it to get a bigger impact on the East Coast but maybe felt it would do better if he leased it to the more white-pop orientated Laurie Records...mmmm?
