They are NOT Boots. They are legitimate UK label releases where taxes and royalties have all been paid. It's like a film that premiers in America because it was made in America, which then gets released over here in the UK and the rest of Europe. No difference.
Neither are they REISSUES, before anybody starts. The American film I just used as an example is NOT a reissue when it gets released outside of America.
It did. I've seen both.
The question is, why would an American 45rpm release have a small hole? I've seen the small holes for Jukebox Ep's on American releases. But why would they do them on singles? When 45rpm singles were designed in America with large holes, specifically for Jukeboxes? Or have I got that wrong?
Anybody got A and B side scans of the following on Mack IV?
1/2 The Lions - "No one (no one but you) / Giggles"
3/4 Frankie Lucas - "So long / Unknown"
3 Little Eddie Love - "There is a flame / Come running to me baby"
Like I said earlier, I'll take a look / listen when I get access to my laptop later this evening. And if I'm able to help, I'll drop you a line back on here.
Has a moderator removed a sound file or what? 'Cos I can't see anything but a blank space where a sound file, or link to a sound file, might have been.
Or is it just me?
