Posted May 7, 201213 yr Hi everibody, I'm looking for a copy of Marty Hill "Mr. Oracle Of Love "/ "Somebody" on Columbia. A clean copy would be better but a strong VG good for djing would fit anyhow.... Thanks for lookin' L.
May 8, 201213 yr Yeah put up a want for it on Philips about a year back, didn't get one. I was very lucky then cos I picked one up around September 2011. Was originally after the 33rpm version on US Columbia but dropped lucky with the UK Philips copy instead.
May 8, 201213 yr Thought mine UK Philips had a push out centre, it is a stickered demo tho Mine's solid centre like the link. Sure it wasn't too early for the push-out centre Tony? They used to do black and white demos I think, around the time of this release, so am surprised to hear of the demo sticker. Probably got my facts a bit out of date though?

I think they stopped the black and white demos in 1960-61 if thats any help.
May 8, 201213 yr I think they stopped the black and white demos in 1960-61 if thats any help. And as this UK Philips scan shows, it was a 1961 release, so just about right for Tony's demo sticker.
May 8, 201213 yr Popsike shows a cut out centre Dennis. Would have been pressed as both solid and cut out though.
May 8, 201213 yr I think I'm right in saying though, that for that period, solid centres were more common. Would you not agree? So, it could be that the push-out centre types may be more rare? Nitpicking I know, but it's all good fun. Edited May 8, 201213 yr by denbo

Must check my Marty Wilde records!
