It's a scan from my own copy I sold many years ago. Never seen another. Unfortunately I can't remember where it went. Because I'd try to buy it back straight away!

Did I sell/trade you that Benji, couldn't remember where it went and like you I regret moving it on, found mine in a Swiss reggae shop, makes sense I guess.

Steve, like you I can't remember. But a few brain cells tell me, that I bought it from Marc Forrest in the late 90s or early 2k's. Does that ring any bell with you?

That swiss reggae shop wasn't in Zurich by any chance. There used to be a shop run by an brit expat....

Yes the shop was on the outskirts of Zurich, but both owners were Swiss, they had lots of Northern there and I picked up about 50 45s from them but Roy Roberts stood out and I actually scanned it and put a sound file up on my website which must have been late 90s.

I have a vague recollection of trading it for Rivage "Strung Out" but its a long time ago,  I think it had a slight warp if thats any help, but equally it may have been Marc, the joy of time eroding memory!

Few that I’ve picked up in Oz. None of the mega rare discs but I was pleased to find them.1AB485DD-19CE-4F06-B9AB-D0ABE699782F.thumb.jpeg.5e71c04d012d95763eb6275940e2e40b.jpeg

Wow. Thought this x-ray thing was an urban myth.

This book is excellent if you can acquire a copy

The carvers were known as "ribs" and everything was booted from blues and jazz to the Beatles and other pop that was outlawed in the USSR. 

If you were caught in possession you would face years in prison 😳
