Herman Lewis - Stone Blue Or Mercury

[Frankie Crocker]

Actually it is very rare. Andy Rix had a handful from the artist. My copy came from Herman via a dealer. Herman kept back a white demo copy. He also got rid of the one or two Mercury copies he had. This is a record that rarely comes up for sale so good luck in finding one.

The Mercury copies have a really good flip

very true,my blue issue came via herman and andy rix,i few more have appeared in the last few years,but still a rare item! however i reckon the mercury release is the rarest.

Should have got the Mercury release when offered it then.. Ah, well, I did get four of Herman's records in the buying splurge and couldn't afford this one as well.

I thought the Stone Blue issue was hard then a demo then the Mercury.

[Dave Pinch]

there was mint stock of the mercury issue around in late 90`s..i reckon its £500 behind any of the stone blue copies

[Dave Rimmer]

Bought a Stone Blue demo last year for £650, and I thought that was a right bargain.

I bought a Mercury test press last year, great record which doesn't turn up for sale very often on either label

[John Parker]

A few Stone Blue copies have surfaced...5 or so years ago would have said they were rarer..dont think there is much in it now...whichever way the cookie crumbles its rare

 

Played it out at Easington in the "small room" on Saturday night...sounded great still.
