    Probably the first under his own name, but 'Funky Yeah' by Curly Moore & the Kool Ones was released in the UK on Pye. The Action issue of 'Bucket' wasn't until 1973, so 'Funky Yeah' was probably first. According to Martin Lawrie's SoulGeneration site there was also a 1970 issue of 'Pass the Hatchet' in South America on London.

    As far as Bo stuff that was picked up by Capitol (Eddie, Eddie/Inez, Bobby Williams) and Atlantic (Candy Phillips) , I've never seen any international versions.

    There's also this...



    but some hardcore Jamaican head will have to come up with a Grimm Ben discography to date it.

    What about the one the south american pressing of one of his early R&B joints?

    Right, that's the London version of Roger & Gypsies "Paseme El Hatcha" (love that)

    This made it confusing because it was also released in 1970, so depending on which month it could have actually been the first "Eddie Bo" release to make it out of the country. Thanks for the help F16. Decided to stick with the claim that Check Your Bucket was the first internationally released EB record, since Roger wasn't really a Bo release

    yep, that's probably the first, there's also a canadian press on Reo of that on ebay at the moment too. As for even earlier Bo involvement, I have a New Zealand press of Robert Parker's "All Nite Long" from 1959.

    Is it a press from 1959 or just the track?

    It is a press from 1959, same time "All Nite Long" was a "hit".
