Looking through JMs "MDORS" book,i noticed on the same page that the "Idle Few" on Blue Book Issue was noted as being rarer than, "Ernest Baker" on Blue Soul,did i miss something?,

it took me alot longer and harder to find and more £££ to get the "E Baker" than it did to get the"Idle Few" Issue with silver writing,i thought it was a £50+ 45,anyone else have any thoughts on this?.

Isnt there a harder issue of the IF Dave ???. Maybe a West Coast press or something similar I seem to recall which is infinitely rarer than the normal issue ????.

the standard blue and silver label is available for around 40-75 quid

Is the Rare West Coast one on Vinyl or Styrene?

dont know sorry , i didnt get that much details , only saw the 45 for a sec before it was swapped

Recently seen the IF stock copy (blue label with silver lettering) at £100. Great tune indeed...

I've only ever seen West Coast styrene presses of it. Remember, it was distributed by Sue, and most (if not all) of their issues and demos around 1969 were styrene.

quite right dave idle few is by far the more common of the 2..

What a fantastic record that Ernest Baker is

In fact there are two blus releases, the on ewith sliver lettering is on styrene and harder. I traded mine with the author of said book for 200 UKP.

Bloody hell. I struggled for months to sell my copy on one of these forums, dropped the price over a couple of weeks, and finally let it go for £40. This was September 2004. Oh well.

It's not that great anyway, what's the fuss?

i bought a copy for around 35 quid which was the rare one last year , managed to get just over 70 for it in trades , its nothing special and not worth 200 in my opinion

I agree. It's incredibly poor in my opinion. But I still wouldn't mind those "extra" £160...
