December 20, 200420 yr Spot on that man, have one of the old tapes somewhere in the loft of Dave with a full 90 minutes of stuff like that covered up. I think it is pretty rare (or rarer than some other things going for the same price is a better way of saying maybe!) A great record with same title (think) is Spoilers on GMC, believe the other side is getting plays (Shadow in the title), cant play it to see what its like as my amp is bust!! Cheers Jock PS Hippo did you see my offer to swap midtemp with you? I wont be offended if tooo familiar for you.

I think it is pretty rare (or rarer than some other things going for the same price is a better way of saying maybe!)
