Does any one know if Curley Moore "Funky yeah" was released on two different style lables for House of the Fox. I noticed mine is different from the one on funky16corners.com?

The copy I have is a white label with plain, black, sans-serif text (probably a DJ promo). I am too lazy to scan it, but I found a similar one (pretend the yellowy background is white, which it actually might be):
Here is the second version of the label, which has all the same label info, including the distribution by Lelan Rogers, and is too fucking ugly to describe:
There is also a third label variation, which is found on the production Maceo & All The King's Men - Doing Their Own Thing LP and its related 45s. It is a feathery bronze-and-black little number that I am also too lazy to scan.
Say, that's the one. Good show.

And this....
Cosign, except that like Coma Toast's, my label is silver.
hows that lp?
Pt 2 on the flip
Is it just me, or is this a great record?
Hard to classify this one.........some call it psych.....some call it funk and others just straight rock......
amazingly there is a second press with a different cover on the LB & J label that supposedly is a different mix and heavier on the funk but I've never heard this version.
I'd say it's an average hard rock LP with some funky leanings.

I put the question of HOF 7 to the very knowledgable collectors over at the soul source forum this morning, but no answer as of yet.....
I love me some "Hey Joe" rip-offs.
