i think maybe steve g is right..sam coplin got the tracks from george mcgregor..how i dont know. as for writing the tunes were probaby writen by sam or even the band members. dont think its anything to do with ashford simpson or armstead. i`m willing to be proved wrong tho
take a look at these

the longer pressed matrix has better sound quality than the shorter matrix and the stamp in the runout is embedded where as the shorter matrix is scratched in... longer matrix is much rarer also...just look at popsike
i think the grey and white copies are promo`s... the issue could be on that design also but cant recall seeing one?. issues on the blue screen print are quite rare
over £100 for a sandie shaw pye release..wow who would a thought. it has a strange catalogue number that doesnt tie in with regular uk stuff. i think it was a export copy dutch maybe... never seen a stock copy
nice one..still have my issue that i bought as a teenager.....as i say i had rthe 72 demo copy..i`d had it a year or two before i realised it was a re release
who said it was bad nev. im not talkin rare records here i`m talkin records period hamilton movement is good but imo al green did at least 5 records that i rate better sinple as that
i think theres two uk demo`s also they look exactly the same but one has the 1970 release date and the other a 1972 date..... thats the one i used to have
goin back to the jayboy releases,..the sheppards how do you like it /stubborn heart came out in 1970/71 was this another one that they put out just as a soul release or was there demand..i thought it would have been much later when it got played
