Getting An Old Friend Back

[Pete S]

Look what I've got - after 10 years it returns - I originally got it off eBay in 2002, sold it to my mate John, had it back off him, sold it to my mate Mick, then spent the last few years trying to get it back again to keep. I ended up paying six or seven times what I originally paid for it, but it's worth it to me and I've still never seen another one...welcome home Dean Courtney :-)

Thing of beauty.

So Pete, do you quite like it, then? 😂

Always liked it but always regretted selling the issue

[Pete S]

Actually I'll tell you, it cost me £1000 cash, a mint demo of the same record and a Broadway Sissy.

Look at it as a gift from heaven for making 37,000 posts on Soul Source...

What's the point of that futile comment?  This is why I don't bother posting anymore.

Very nice indeed.

Funny thing is, I was only playing my copy last night (yellow demo unfortunately!)

Pete, when you want to part with it again, who know who to call

[Bo Diddley]

Thanks for posting the pictures Pete. Always nice to see super rare Issues. 

Have you had a word with yourself to not let it wander off again!

[maslar]

Nice, one of my all time faves.

Hi Pete,

I fully understand the selling then regretting it thing (We all do)

Glad you have your friend back 

Have a good weekend folks.

All the best,

Len

To think there's got to be a box load lying round in a barn in the states somewhere,  unless of course they all got destroyed 😢😢

Me too, I expect something not to be happy about the rarity of this sole stocker from MGM. From the mid sixties, Verve and MGM 45's that didn't sell as expected all and always ended in the sales stalls with a drill hole.

Where this one didn't suffer the drill cut fate if ever it didn't sell. Likely it never made it to the stores. As the other stocker pressed. And as you suggested likely got withdrawn and god knows what happened to them after...

Hi all,did anybody notice the spelling mistake on the "flip" side?Maybe that has something to do with the rarity of the record....noticed very early on in the production stage,so withdrawn immediately
