💎 Description 💎
The missing void from most all Ric-Tic runs.
With the Christmas 1964 release James Bond's blockbuster movie "Goldfinger" whole of 1965 media was dominated by "Secret Agent" TV series and movies e.g. James Bond Movies, "Get Smart" , "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.", "Danger Man" etc. The "Cold War" phenomena was in full swing on both vinyl and celluloid.
LeBaron Taylor and Edwin Starr put their heads together to produce a song that could hijack the "Secret Agent" craze, resulting in the birth of this all time dance anthem "Agent Double -O- Soul"
On 25th. August 1965 Ric-Tic launched their concept onto Detroit Radio stations, but even in the beginning the highly competent WKNR DJ Scott Regan had difficulty announcing the title correctly. "Agent Double OO Soul" even though the title is explained in the brackets below the OO text, became withdrawn and obsolete.
So Ric-Tic rephrased the titled to "AGENT DOUBLE O SOUL" the title replaced the single sided promo with record, with withdrawn PROMO copy and future releases after the first "lemon" release, were entitled "Agent Double -O-Soul" .
Because the Motown City radio DJ's constantly mispronounced the title. "Agent OO-Soul" credit was now obsolete withdrawn and replaced with the simplified adjustment "Agent Double -O-Soul" as noted, only the very first Ric-Tic run on the "lemon" coloured label carried the "AGENT OO-SOUL"
All later variations state "Agent Double -O-Soul" as the title. If you want to ever complete the prestigious Ric-Tic Records run, you need this rarely encountered SINGLE-SIDED promo.
