Paul Burton (The Stinger) [1974] - So Very Hard To Make It (Without You) [Music-GO-Round #MGR 003]


The second of four releases on Merry-GO-Round and the rarest on the label with only ten copies appearing on Popsike in the last 15 years. One sold in 2005 for £60 and the latest to sell went for almost £1,000 (£934). It seems to be his only release. The flip side is part 2 which is a shorther instrumental version (i.e. 2:43 v 3.54.) by The Rhythm Express.

As with all four releases on the label, it was written by Willie J. Randolph who possibly owned the label which I believe was based in Charlotte N.C.

It got a reissue on Jazzman in 2007 on 12" vinyl.
