Sounds like Homer Banks to me.

It was the red SMASH issue that sold for $487: https://gripsweat.com/item/331633397638/festivals-youve-got-the-makings-of-a-lover-masterpiece-crossover-northern-soul The first release was on Smash. All other releases are reissues or bootlegs.

It sold for $487. I was the seller. 4 years ago. It was bizarre. I recieved the payment without any problems, from a UK buyer. I couldn't believe it.

I don't think he could help that his name was Donnie Elbert?

Cool record, but not a particularly rare 45, there are currently 6 copies for sale on Discogs and a couple pass through ebay every year. His 45 on the Vi-Tose label is rare though, and the one on Big Apple is also scarce and was issued on dark red vinyl:

Yes, I totally understand that. I just didn't get what Chapter Five being from Barrow-In-Furness had to do with the Charles Johnson/Lew Kirton 45.

I don't quite know what you're getting at, but Chapter Five were from Barrow-In-Furness. The Charles Johnson 45 has got Lew Kirton on the flipside. The Burnett's label is obviously from the UK. If you want to license stuff from Henry Stone, this is where you go: https://licensing.henrystonemusic.com/

Don't know who's behind it, but seems to be perfectly legit and licensed from Henry Stone. That label has recently reissued Chapter Five as well (with a brand new recording on the flipside by a group featuring members from the original Chapter Five line-up). https://www.discogs.com/label/1608178-Burnetts-Of-Detroit

These are not different pressings. It's a case of the coloured background print labels not being properly aligned when the black print was applied - this "effect" can be seen on lots of labels. The seemingly red vs. orange label variations is also down to the first image having been scanned with "unsharp masking" setting on (which hightens contrast and causes text to get a white outline), and the other two pictures being photos taken with lighting that probably just enhanced the orange colour tones. Red/orange/pink colour variations are hard colours to properly capture.

Indeed. The "Stop Girl" 45 is from January 1968.

See my previous post above. The faked "Nashville Matrix" on the ebay copy is placed in the wrong postion. It should be placed between two grooves in the run-out.
