One Dove - Breakdown 12" found in a charity shop on Saturday for £1. Why? Andy Weatherall produced it so thought it would be good for lifting samples off it.

And i am playing this right now,strange French copy in superb stereo sounds so different and better with Mitch Ryder on the other side ? when was this pressed ?

post-1986-0-21408400-1319209491_thumb.jp

Anybody seen or heard the LP allnighters mentioned at the bottom ?

:D

Edited by ken

Ken, I think the Flamingos re-issue above was pressed around 1980. More likely to have been a French contract pressing, outsourced by Phonogram in the UK when their resources couldn't cope with the demand.

Would love to know more about the "Allnighters" LP it came from (see bottom of label), which I presume is also a Philips record - never heard of it, but I bet it's a lovely compilation!

Got 2 or 3 copy's of original UK they never ever sounded as good as this one Gene,now is this ok to play out ? Mitch Ryder and Philips don't seem right !
