VOICE BOX - I WANT IT BACK (YOUR LOVE) - LOMA 2101

LINDA JONES - MY HEART NEEDS A BREAK - LOMA 2091

Chalky suggested we start a Label Of The Week Thread As there has been a lot of discussion about Linda Jones Turkey Issue we have decided to kick off with Loma. As we travel through the Labels they will eventually be archived in "The Sharp End" for easier access.

Hi Richard Nice that is Mate.

PYE First surprisingly in U.K. Yes, it was a B Side both times, therefore the only way to get the DEMO on New Voice has to be the 814 Release as far as I'm aware, but it isn't easy to find. Guessing that the Blue West Coast Label for 814 even harder to find as a DEMO. DEMO West Coast DEMO

Here's my copy, bought off ebay a few years ago. " WPKM-2506 - - 2S------------------------A I " My U.K. Copy has " WPKM-2506-1C " Both are 1968 Press I believe

One of my favourite Motown Artists Only a Handful of Single Releases. >>> THE VELVELETTES (WEBSITE) <<<

Absolutely Stunning Mate

This is the "Nashville Matrix" Stamp There are numerous other stamps.

This is a copy that I bought from Soul Bowl back in the 70s & it doesn't have a "Nashville Matrix" Apparently there is a White DEMO with the "Nashville Matrix" >>> LINK <<< However, Until proved otherwise, I'm Happy that my copy is an Original Press, Just from a Different Pressing Plant. I know that there is a West Coast Press too. There are many surprises in this collecting game, with different Variations of Press & Label. Nobody knows everything, I could be wrong.

Many Thanks for the Information Dave, It shows just how Rare this record is as a Stock Copy.

Yes, it would have been difficult. Not many Stock Copies about, considering. I've only ever seen the one that my friend Mick Cook once owned way back in the early 70s, plus the Scan on PopSike.

Hi Ted Many Thanks for the Information. The Delta # makes me wonder if "TOO DARN SOULFUL" was the Indended "A SIDE" at some point. Then they changed to "YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE" as the "PLUG SIDE"

Here's the Extremely Rare Stock Copy PopSike.com

This could be explained elsewhere but If it is, I haven't seen it. I've often wondered why one of the DEMOs has the Labels Reversed so I thought I would check things. Just a Theory. I'm not sure if they changed their mind regarding the "PLUG SIDE" causing confusion with the Matrix or just Human Error & we may never know. Clearly something Unusual Happened. I think that when the Bestway Press was made, they probably wouldn't have played it & simply followed the Information Given. Bestway Press - Labels on Wrong Sides. I have been Looking at this and believe that the reason the Labels are on the wrong side is because someone mixed the Matrix Numbers up between the Printers & Pressing Plant. Clearly printed on the Labels (8008) & (8009) Corresponds with the Information on the Deadwax (8008) & (8009). However when played the wrong song is in the grooves. Monarch Press - Labels on the correct sides for each title, but to achieve this the Matrix (8009) on the Label & (8008) in the Deadwax. Of course the other side has Matrix (8008) on the Label & (8009) in the Deadwax. Another pointer to this theory is the Monarch Matrix Delta # 65704 For "TOO DARN SOULFUL" # 65704-X For "YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE" Which is the "PLUG SIDE" Yet the "-X" Denotes the "B Side" on a Monarch Press.

Here's the Vinyl Original + Matrix

Hi Dave I wonder If any of the Artists from Fathers Angels are aware of the Interest in "Bok To Bach" here in the UK. Also wondering If they would have been given any type of UK or US Press at the time.

Hi Pete Donnie Elbert must have been released at the transision between the AVCO-EMBASSY Logo & the Later AVCO Logo in UK As I have a copy on AVCO-EMBASSY Not suggesting Valuable or anything, Just a Label Variation. Brilliant Articles, Many Thanks for Posting

PopSike.com Yes, 1st Issued at time of release, just a different pressing plant. For Instance, this one is a West Coast Monarch Press.

Hi Harry Yes, Ollie McLaughlin's Daughters Carla, Karen and Moira >>> LINK to ARTICLE at Hitsvillesoulclub <<<

When you look at other releases, they too came out on different Variations. Then there's this one.

There's this one PopSike.com PopSike.com & There's the 70s 2nd Issue (From Original Stampers I believe).

Hi Harry These are the 2 That I have. The DEMO is a Styrene Monarch

Hi Dante Many Thanks for Information Mate. I have bought without being certain about outcome.
