Comments:

Current thoughts are that these are fakes or reissues by an alternate supplier depending upon your view point. It appears that the same master was used, with this stamper. I believe that this and the other releases it the News Gothic Bold Font were released prior to the Genuine release of Sure To Fall/Money when Joe Pope changed label fonts.

Original Comments:

The first release of Decca material from the fan club label. As with the other singles in the series it remained core material until 2007 for those brief seconds of canter not previously copied until a the needle drop expert Dr Ebbetts located a prime set and made an excellent transfer on his new Decca release The Decca Audition.

I am currently struggling to verify exactly what an original disc looked like, even the multiple guides, web sites and discs I have reviewed , there appears to be confusion.

Probably the truth of the matter is that like the first release by fan club label there were more than one colour variation made.
