Just curious - did the Har-You LP originally come out on ORO or ESP?
Comments
I recall Montego Joe saying that after it was pressed, ESP had to pull the record because the Har-You program was government-funded and the feds wouldn't allow them to sell the recording.
Yeah, that's why I'm asking. According to the ebay description (and of course, who knows if it's accurate), the ORO with the color cover was a second issue following the B&W ESP release.
i know.
and these are the guys that are known for their super price gouging
Dorothy Ashby -- $190.00 (don't think so)
Eugene Mcdaniels -- $200.00 (fuck that)
Planete Sauvage -- $160.00 (just because Madlib shops there doesn't mean it should be priced above ebay)
etc. etc. etc. Their wall is always laughable, but sometimes it's worth paying a little extra to bypass trying your hand at ebay/setsales/etc. No insurance, waiting, shipping, sketchy condition.
I believe that's correct, but mainly because of the ESP cover art gallery. Have you seen it? I wouldn't call it a bible (who really cares about the 300 different pressings of "bells" anyways) but it's pretty reliable.

It sounds like the eBay description has the sequence wrong because the B&W issue has an address that the label didn't move to until 1973:

Yes, color cover ORO came first around 1969/70, the ESP issue is a second pressing.
