Hi Stew

 

Originals of this are Styrene with a Matt finished Blue  label

I know, it seems to be a bit of a grey area. Tim Browns book states styrene only but I have heard that there were original vinyl copies around.

Definitely vinyl as well as styrene. I used to have a vinyl wdj - along with several other vinyl wdj's of Mirwood things.

I have an original and a boot. The original came from Graig Moerer and the boot from a very well known UK dealer. I'll try and scan them and post them up. Don't ever believe everything that these "experts" say, challenge them heavily. :yes:

Will dig them out and post.

I may not have been paying attention, but in all my years of collecting I have never seen a styrene issue of Cigarette Ashes! 

 

All the original Demos and Issues I have ever seen are Vinyl!

 

I thought Mirwood had stopped using styrene on these later releases, 5530.

 

If someone has it on styrene I would be very interested to see a scan of it.

The original has a narrower run-out and the "66-3088-B" is in larger letters, also "H" stamped in run-out. The boot has a wide run-out and the text is smaller than the original. The run-out width and stamped letter "H" is the best indicator. Here are label scans.

One can't trust the Manship/Brown/Knowitalls of this world 100% The books they publish are great guides but I've yet to find anyone who'll stick his head and say that all the Los Angeles issued Okeh singles are stamped in the run-out. Arthur Wright say not he would know won't he?

 

Good luck.

 

PS : Don't know how old you are, I know instrumentals are not in vogue this day and age but bewt this shook those wooden floors like no other did in its day.

The answer is it was released on vinyl only, no styrene's of this release.

Second hand happiness is such a great flip, a bit doo woppy but beautiful song.
