plenty of white demo's about but has anyone ever seen or owned a v.i.p. coloured issue?. released 1965, the canadian's first effort at chart success in his own right ( he had already been taken under the songwriting wing of HDH), it flopped as did 67's there's a ghost in my house. definitely the rarer of the two, it appears devoid of a well distributed issue, probably because from the point of view of the lyrics, it posed a contentious issue to middle aged americans, who still viewed "juveniles" as unruly and needing to be put in their place, hence the rebellious statement taylor was making.....ironically, it predated the summer of free love and the hippy culture by two years.

Yes, (seen loads)

Mentioned it before , but.

There used to be a record stall on Shudehill market with row upon row of allsorts, when Ghost in my House was at it's peak there were loads of this on there at 20p(ish) a pop,,As it wasn't GIMH it got left.

Until

Let's Go Somewhere got played out, then it vanished..................and I still never got one

Tony

I had the multicoloured issue and now have the multicoloured demo

Not seen any copies of white or coloured copies around nowadays

If my memory is correct "Lets Go Somewhere" was the actual b-side on the 74 Tamla Motown reissue of "Ghost", so no wonder that market stall holder had plenty available (at the time)!

Ahh Shudehill.

Some years later a great source of Cadet 45s. I used to buy copies of Terry Callier, 'Look At Me Now' for about 25/30p a go (few years later and prices had gone up!) and flog them for a fiver or so at Wigan.
