Vinyl - EX

"The LEAVES very first version from 1965 "HEY JOE, WHERE YOU GONNA GO?" 45 RPM Single Vinyl Record, MIRA Records 207 White Label PROMOTIONAL COPY, NOT FOR SALE. Side B is "BE WITH YOU".

HISTORICAL INFORMATION: The LEAVES, a West Coast Band from Los Angeles, California USA, had a big hit record called "HEY JOE". Recorded and released in 1966 the single was on MIRA Records 222. Somewhat confusing is the fact that the record was released with several different flip sides but all were Mira number 222, and all had the same recorded version of "Hey Joe", produced by Norm Ratner. Writer credit was listed as Dino Valenti of Quicksilver Messenger Service, though Billy Roberts was the true writer. But that’s a whole other story.

THIS RECORD actually is a completely different version recording of the song. It was recorded in late 1965 and produced by Nick Venet, not Ratner. The elongated wordy title on this earlier recording was shortened on the later version. Also no writer credit is given here on the first version.

Tom Ambrose Ray (drummer) recalls that there were at most a few hundred copies pressed of this record. A miniscule number for a record. The records were sent out to radio stations and for some reason Mira quickly pulled the copies and asked for them to be returned and/or not to be played. Tom believes that there were no commercial copies released to the public. When the group later recorded the 1966 version the pe

rsonnel change to a different guitarist was evident on the new recording."

Audio transfer is as follows:
Ion TTUSB05XL turntable > EZ Vinyl Converter (48K) > iTunes (128k mp3)
Aside from the necessary mp3 conversion, the audio has not been altered in any way from its raw state.
