Unissued Philly acetate only. Assassins later became "Chapter One" who recorded on 20th Century and Toxsan. There's also a very similar version by the Topics, also produced by underground Philly music legend Wally Osborne. I think Butch used to play "The Assassins" so he probably has the original acetate tucked away in one wing of this record collection.

Thanks Jason, all good here

Des has kindly answered and it was Des I first heard play it at Glouscester. Came across someone with copies recently who kindly threw one is as part of the deal...It could do with a US centre mind :-)

No offence to anyone involved, but the label on that "reissue" wasn't great, even "Alfreda Brockington" on the other side was spelt "Alfredo"
