Reviving this two and a half year old thread with an update:
Up to now the only (few) copies I've seen have been of the later dark brown style label - as shown in the above scan.
I've just come across a copy with the earlier label design, which from what I can make out changed over around July 1972.
According to info I've got from 45Cat, it seems to have started around the 300th release, although this would now be the earliest one I've seen up to date.
This 45 seems to be from August of that year, so would be in the middle of the changeover period when the older labels were being used up I guess?
Has anyone else got or seen this record on this label before, as I haven't!
?
By the way, I've also realised that the correct title is actually "Falling in love the first time" - The word 'for' isn't on either of the label designs!

But there's a 'doctored' sound file on Sir Shambling's website - for anyone who's interested: https://www.sirshambling.com/artists_2012/F/louise_freeman/Louise Freeman - Save Your Love.mp3

And sat right along side it is her Playboy 45 "Save your love" from a couple o' years later (1977).
Sadly no You Tube clip available.

Only her later re-make on Ichiban as far as I can see Derek - not anywhere near as good is it?

That's the one!

The issue has the same long & short versions as the demo actually.
But they have slightly different titles on the demos to the issue.
Demos are "Am I hot, am I cold"
Issues are "Am I cold, am I hot" ....

What's the picture sleeve like? Same as the LP?
Is that the UK copy you mean pjs?
-
Not forgetting of course, it was also raved about in Blues & Soul by Dave Godin.
Can't say as I can recall it ever getting plays in the clubs at the time - or since.
What's the difference with the UK and US copies then? UK London promo and a German Bellaphon with picture cover for me!
Now the other side... that is a beauty isn't it!

I've read somewhere about it existing on a Canadian 45, but for the life of me can't think where I saw it .... Sorry, not much help I know!

Mine is (sort of) in label order, then in numerical order for each label.
UK releases and US kept separate, then a few other boxes for any other country releases - which aren't sorted yet!
Mind you, I'm forever pulling things out to play / record as mp3, then not getting around to actually doing anything with them!
Spreadsheets etc. - I've toyed with the idea numerous times, then quickly decided against it due to the time it would take me to actually complete the task!!

I've always associated this with Wilson Pickett, closely followed by Aretha Franklin and then Maxine Brown, but his version ain't too shabby either!

Yes, I also went to quite a few of the Sunday nights there, that was before Wigan starting for sure. I can't think how long before though...
I seem to recall going mid week at some point as well?
I first went there around 1971 when it was called The Heartbeat.

He certainly did, get it on a carver then!

Same here when I first recall hearing it - Dally it was... same place too!

Which track are you referring to?

From what I remember it was first released on the Kent CD 'Masterpieces of Modern Soul'.
Then as a 45 on Kent for the 24th Anniversary 6Ts give away at the 100 Club around 2003, later still it 'appeared' on Noriega - which is questionable as to it's legitimacy and certainly wasn't around prior to the Kent releases.
Maybe someone else can fill in the blanks?

Not wanting to say anything that's not been said before, but this was discussed on here over two years ago in 2014, what's more - Peter, who said he didn't know there were two takes, was involved in that very thread!
Here's the link:

John, that GSF LP out of Israel is a real find .... bet you were glad when it arrived.
I'd guess that it was more like a 1974/75 release as the 'time lag' between a foreign record company negotiating & signing a deal with the US company, then getting the masters over, arranging the release, etc. always took longer than anyone imagined.
From the sound quality of the cuts on the LP, would you say they sourced the tracks from master tapes or actual copies of the US records ??
I've not listened to it all the way through for some time, but as far as I recall, it played fine - no signs that it was dubbed from other records as such.

Did any GSF stuff escape in any other countries (either on the GSF label itself or a local label that represented GSF) ??
John - I know this has already been mentioned before, but there was an LP of GSF material released in Israel. This also included the Anderson Brothers song being discussed here. I was probably the first to mention it on here.
I posted scans of the album and there was a fairly long discussion about it and as to confirming when it would have been released there.
It was called Soul Explosion

This thread has Brian Philips states it as played at the Wheel in 1970 https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/325754-isley-brothers-tell-me-its-just-a-rumour-baby/#comment-2167147
Don't know who was the first acknowledged to have played it though?
-
It was well before Wigan, more like the Torch. I seem to think it's been discussed before on here.

Cheers Mark, as I said, I hadn't noticed it on this multicoloured label and all the pictures I could turn up were of the later brown one.
Anyone else got this design I wonder?
