Anyone know what Bill Bush went for onManship this week?

£2,118 seemed to be the final outcome...

Am I getting confused or is this not the 45 that only exists coz Paul Mooney got Stan Lewis to press  up loads of copies for the UK market ?

The record has been given the ‘reissue’ treatment in recent years, presumably for the UK market. However, the original was pressed in 1968, most copies playing off-centre. My recollections based on John Manship’s sales blurb and a British collector’s experience of tracking Bill down, are the record was a poor seller, the B side was ‘I’m Waiting’, a small quantity of unplayed copies were liberated and the track has been filling dance floors for c20 years. Odd copies turn up annually but demand for the track remains as high as ever judging from the auction result.

One of Ian Latrine's "freinds only" counterfeits wasn't it ... ?

Seem to remember the re-issues having a strange drum roll part way through Alan C
