soulster22 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 It has the horns missing at the start Still a great tune though I think the horns are only missing on the warner brothers David & Ruben and not the Rampart copy. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Paul McKay Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 was the rampart contempary to the linda i.e `65? No that was 69 as well. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dimples Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 No that was 69 as well. My God! why did they re-issued in 1969 a 1965 record that sold next to nothing in its day in two different labels with two different takes (with and without horns)? Fascinating!

Sebastian Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) My God! why did they re-issued in 1969 a 1965 record that sold next to nothing in its day in two different labels with two different takes (with and without horns)? Fascinating! My theory is that the original Linda issue actually sold very well in California upon release in 1965 and remained popular in that region throughout the 60s (or perhaps more likely, the flipside), prompting Rampart (a subsidiary label to Faro Records who also owned the Linda label) to give it a new go in 1969, and when the Rampart release started shifting units Warner Bros showed interest and released it nationally (but edited out the fanfare intro because it perhaps sounded a bit too "dated" in 1969). I might ofcourse be totally wrong, but those are my thoughts about this. Edited March 3, 2009 by Sebastian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sebastian Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The Warner Bros release is Warner Bros/Seven Arts Records, where does Seven Arts come into the story ? According to Wikipedia: Seven Arts Productions was founded in 1957 by Ray Stark and Eliot Hyman. The company was a frequent producer of movies for other studios, including Lolita for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, The Misfits for United Artists, and Is Paris Burning for Paramount Pictures. Over time they expanded their involvement in movies from just being producers to becoming equity investors with the studios, partnering with legendary horror film company Hammer Film Productions on many projects, and producing Seven Days in May and Promise Her Anything for release by Paramount; on these productions, they retained ancillary rights that they had surrendered on earlier films. In 1967 they acquired Jack Warner's controlling interest in Warner Bros. for $95 million and merged with it, becoming Warner Bros.-Seven Arts.

Paul McKay Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi Sebastian The Low Rider book by Ruben Molina suggests that the flip was the Latino music fan's fave side. Otherwise I think you're spot on. Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
