It seems more like a bootleg re-edit, same thing on both sides. Goes on for ever. Cool though, my copy is thrashed.
I think it might be an original which I believe was Canadian only. The collection I found it in didn't have any records in it after 1980 so if its a re-edit its an early one.

I'm not saying it makes it any less raer or desirable, but I think it's from around 79/80 and is a DJ oriented boot similar to the 7 minute Apache on the mysterious Arawak label
after a meeting with my boss, we went into a small thrftshop i had never noticed and i found this:
just the cover, but then found the vinyl in a separate crate.mint, in the plastic inner sleeve. never found nothing of phill's in the field before. digging on the clock
also last week i was driving through the hood and i see some little kids raising up a cloud of debris by a pile of trash. i looked closer and saw 45s splintering and flying in the air. i uturned and when i walked up yon4 yr old was trying to break a bill dogget "honky tonk popcprn" in half, to no avail. they were methodically destroying a small suitcase full of soul 45s. i explained to them how the beat sounded on the bill doggett record and they proceeded to carry all the 45s to my van. lotta soul records with some frnk sinatra mixed in. bill doggett was beyond salvation
Drove an hour and a half after work today to Columbia Sc for a record show that would probably be closed by the time I got there. Pulled up, people mostly loading out- saw a dude with two boxes marked soul- so I asked him if I could dig through it really quick- he said "sure"
Dug through and pulled
Belita woods- magic corner & We the people on lion
Both super cheap.
Slid to the bar after party- people we're having a blast, good soul being played- with nice vibes- good bar.
Everyone said the record show was great- wish I would have come earlier- but wouldn't have had it differently.
If I could only keep one track it would be "Goodbye Victoria" but it's not easy to call it the best. This record is far easier to pick up from outside the US. There's a decent sized Belgian pressing, which turns up. I know you aren't an eBay shopper, Rock - but my advice to grippers is to search French and German eBays, it turns up underpriced sometimes as it is on a budget label.
i heard there was u.s pressing of the chubby checker that looks like a christmas album. i'm super happy with my uk press on london records, thanks to the-non.
And i agree with mark, "goodbye victoria" is my favorite, my 2nd pick is "tunnel of love", the break down in the middle where chubby gets mad philisophical is the shit!

Mweslee 7" is dope
Same with the rest of the 7x7 series. Can't wait for the Dimlite 7x7x0

I think it's a Canadian press - I see it pop up now and then.

yes thats the only US issue I know of. All the other issues of it I've seen were on euro budget labels.
this one is on 51 West (another Budget label, but this one bleeds red white and blue)

Nice scene- good peoples.
Very Cool.
Can you please post the best track??
totally freaking great - they killed it.
goddamit. thats enough outta you
actually, that looks like you got at least ten copies of some A&M titles and maybe some bozz scags.
The US OG is cassette-only
Tough call!

I'm a fan of the sappy "If the Sun Stopped Shining"
Here is SoulonIce's favorite track
