I got this several years ago from a lady I worked with who was music director of a big AM station back in the 70's. She did the overnights at the radio station, and would sell me records for cigarette money. Anyhow...
I've got this O'Jays single on the "Astroscope" label. The "A" side information matches the commercial release but...
(Label of the "A" side)
The B side has only a plain white label, and when I inspected it it looked like there was a song on that side someone had taken sandpaper to in an effort to remove it.
That got my curiousity aroused so I took a worn needle and attempted to play that side. There was a song on there, and it turned out to be "Don't Pull Your Love" by Hamilton, Joe, Frank and Reynolds!?!?! I understand many labels would use the same pressing plants, but this one is just a curiousity to me. Maybe the O'Jays are really Hamilton and company in disguise??

??". It looked like someone tried to wipe the writing off, and the last part is hard to read. I got it for $.50, and I bought it strictly for the Krofft affiliation.
