How rare is this? I have had a lot of luck over here finding rad singles in the wild. Just wondering how many have squeaky clean copy on wand?

Pretty rare. Sold one for £125 back in December, hissed on the first few seconds though so really would be £150

cracker of a tune, been after one for a while

Found a minter in Cheyenne, Wyoming whilst going to a rodeo in the late 80s. Pretty rare I think as I've never found another.......

I bet you looked the part in those chaps! 

I bought my copy from Soul Bowl back in the 70s never really had a chance at another since the early Soul Bowl lists.

Looking on Popsike, It would appear that the Stock Copies are there but not many around.

Think I got mine from Soul Bowl many moons ago Roger but I know it had Red Text , I think

I had one a few years ago, everybody wanted it, but no one would pay anything for it. I agree it seems pretty rare. 

Got a clean demo on my shelves...played the instruMENTAL out at VaVaVoom and it sounded corking echoing around a large hall! I can easily imagine a new benchmark price being established if auctioned on John's site.

Agreed, play the inst side myself from time to time!

£150 would see you with no hand Pete!

That copy I sold for £125 came out of a record shop in Wolverhampton for £2.50 in 1979.  I bought it!

Great to hear the instrumental sandwiched between Psychedelic Soul and Ton of Dynamite.

Any tune with writer credits Johnny Northern has got to be good

But who was this Al Wilson ??????

..... The Soul City / Rocky Road / Playboy label guy confirmed it wasn't him when he played Cleggy.

Anyone got a scan of the demo?

J.R "Ralph" Bailey. I reckon it was a demo song they cut that Wand put out on a limited release due to the help they'd given in writing songs for Chuck Jackson, a couple of which appeared soon after this - Wand 1142 was one of them my numeric brain tells me without checking.
