Morning. I shifted the issue of this recently and dug this demo one up out of my box. Cold Letter on flip as per issue but is it real? I think I picked it up for next to nowt. Its vinyl.

Was there meant to be a scan with your post?

Get hip to yourself/The cold letter... released on Loma (2027), January 1966. Both sides written & produced by Leonard Jewel Smith.

Vinyl? Not seen one. Everything on Loma came out on styrene.

Owned 3 of these (yes!) in the past and seen more, pretty sure were all styrene. On the other hand , didn't think there was enough mass demand for this ( as good as 'hip' is) to the point where someone thought a vinyl boot was in order ?

Have seen a rising interest for this 45 in this over the last 12-18 months - for both sides, but primarily for The Cold Letter. Has someone been playing it out recently?

I've seem promos of this much more frequently than stock.

the first year I was doing my radio show someone called me up and asked me if I had a song that went like "get hip to yourself" (he sang the melody). it was crazy that this chicago dude was remembering the probably 2 plays of this random LA record on the radio. Actually lots of people remember hearing a super obscure song once and get excited when they hear it on my show and call up, being like "I remember that and have been looking for 40 years."

Thanks everyone Ive got the record right with me now hmmmm.....yep styrene.,,,klittle on the thin side...glasses next time lol havent heard the cold letter--will have a listen ...ooer just had a listen Im keeping a hold of it!!
