This might get confusing, as most would recognise this release for
the A side which is a vocal version of the big Northern Soul instrumental
'The Gallop' which was reissued on Grapevine in 1977 with vocal 'I Belong
To You' as well as the instrumental.
'Like A Rolling Stone' was also originally
released as the flip to 'The Gallop' on Carla in 1968, but it was an
instrumental version.
This 'release' was a limited press of 300 copies licensed from Ollie
McLaughlin (who owned Carla and several other Detroit 60s labels named after his wife and daughters) by John Anderson's Soul Bowl around 1976 with the vocal
versions of the 1968 Carla release (presumably recorded at the same time but for some reason unreleased). It is the only way to own the vocal of
'Like A Rolling Stone'.
It has been getting spins in the last few years and owing to its scarcity
and popularity is valued well over £500 now, but beware as it has been
bootlegged twice, one is easy to recognise as it has a small hole (UK),
the other is a look-a-like counterfeit.
Coincidentally, having just posted Jeanette Williams' discography, Milton Wright is her brother!
