Masqueraders - Do you love me baby/Sweet lovin woman - Wand Issue VG+/Mint- £800 SOLD So much rarer than the demo. This is a spanking good copy, would call it Mint- but it has a tiny edge chip that doesn't even reach the first run in groove, which can be seen if you expand the image below . Classic 60's group dancer recorded at American Studios in Memphis........................

Yep was before I moved into my current place so over 7 years

Was wondering how much rarer a Wand issue of 'Do you love me baby' is ?. Seen info on lots of demo's of this, but very little for the issue........................

Think this may have been following on from Cassius Clay & Joe Frazier put out 45's

This was the art sleeve for the promo's

The story goes a bit like this................. Following a request from a UK dealer in the 80's to put out the previously unreleased 'We Want Freedom/As she slowly slips away', Manny sent the master tapes off to a pressing plant. Somewhere along the line this got messed up and the wrong tapes were sent. So it was pressed as 'We Want Freedom/Don't Ever Hurt Me Girl' the latter having already been released on Lawton. The UK dealer said he did want them without 'As she slowly slips away'. So as Manny is a pragmatist, he wasn't gonna send more money after bad and lost interest in the project. Most copies were thrown away, just keeping a handful, which over the years have found their way to the UK. About 7 years ago on a visit to Manny I did a deal with him to press it as it was originally intended with 'As she slowly slips away' on and put it out on Roxanne records. We pressed 200 copies, which last year finally sold out. It was never a money making exercise, just a wish to put out two fab sides. The label was named after my daughter and a bit of a homage to those family named labels from Detroit, back in the day. The label design was done by Malayka and looks great going round on a turntable. The were about 10 copies that came with a handmade art sleeve, which we used as demo's.

Have a look at this 45 on Ebay and listen to the sound file, yep their right he does 'wrestle' with this one, brillant !!!!!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rufus-R-Jones-45-PRIVATE-Thats-Not-The-Way-DEEP-SOUL-LISTEN-/161599062931?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a00e0393

Simply a lot of copies have turned up in the last few years in the Phittsburgh area and have been going up on Ebay regularly, also Craig Moerer seems to have stock as he often puts it up for sale. So these two things, plus those DJ's that stop playing things that they think aren't rare all dropped it, so demand has fallen away on it, real shame as it's a nice record. Anyway, no it's not been booted as there is no need, as there are so many originals in circulation
