Cheers for the reply, I know about that one, not a realistic price IMHO,  last one on here went for £80 and it was a M- although it had a bit of water damage.

 

 

 

 

 

Books normally at  around £100 so i reckon that's the tops im going to pay. Silly inflated prices make me wonder sometimes what its all about?! Many thanks again for getting in touch and helping with the search!

I got mine on a carver for £20 and it is a perfect copy; I was willing to pay up to £100 for an issue copy but like you I don't like paying silly money for vinyl.

Good luck in your search.

Honestly?

mellorful : £20 when was that?! Got to be a long time ago at that price!!

 

I've got great memories of this tune, think i first heard it in 1979/1980....?

 

So if anyone out there is willing to part with a copy you'd make one man here very happy!!

He said he got a carver for £20, not an original. It's a hard plastic dub plate - the modern day equivalent of the acetates (emidiscs etc) that people used to have cut in the 70s and 80s. The material used is inferior to the nitrocellulose lacquer coating on an acetate and that's why I questioned the statement that it was 'a perfect copy' - although I acknowledge that hearing (and standards of what's acceptable) vary from individual to individual.

No demos of this are there?

Never seen one. Why is that?

I don't know - same with Earl Wright "Thumb A Ride" and others

Godzilla :Doh didn't see the word "carver" so wrapped up with finding a copy its blinded me partially!

Pete : I should rephrase the wording, as I don't think a demo of this exists.( I put down issue or demo as a matter of habit!)

I'd look at paying £125 for a copy

If it were mint I'd stretch to £125 for sure!

thats what id pay if i didnt have,,,seriously underplayed northern brilliance....

Copies of this went for much less back in the early 80s, totally agree on the underplayed and brilliant! Mint Copies seem to maybe running dry but

 

Lets see if i get lucky....
