October 31, 20195 yr Why only 250 copies? I would have thought there is a slightly bigger market than that.
October 31, 20195 yr One of my all time faves. I didn't realise she wrote it, so it's good to see she'll be getting some royalties at last. Is she well? What's on the b side, the instrumental?
November 1, 20195 yr Author No inst Simon one didn't exist ...... She cut it hoping for a record deal that never materialised....

We always press 250 copies to maintain the authenticity Limited Edition only fair to those who buy into the ethos - We will never repress or rerun as some label's do... FYI over 175 copies already sold at pre order The price is now £11 plus pp ( 100 were at £10 )
