Which one Chris? The 1st 2 are around £25 - 30. Quite good 70s. Don't actually have the 3rd one. Anyone?

I'm sure I've got that last one and it's terrible. UA demo. I'll go have a look.

OK I have got it, A side is called "Joy" (Lamont Dozier composition) and it's a disco-type thing. The other side is a Bobby Womack song, "Trust Me", a ballad. Produced by Martin Rushent who did The Buzzcocks stuff!

Sample enclosed (just 30 seconds)

I used to see Larrington Walker a lot in those 1980 Black Theatre Co-Coperative plays, he was a pretty decent actor. He was also in that classic episode of 'Minder' where Arthur Daley's on jury service ("'im lyin' t'roo 'im teet'....but it cool still..."). Dunno what's happened to him these days.

The Dozier original is on his 'Right There' album and it's more or less the same, only sung better....

So is this known? Played? Worth anything? This is where I should pay more attention, I have had literally hundreds of 70's records like this, all UK demos, and I just gave them away, I once gave a box of about 400 to the cats protection league in Hastings, my mate used to get them sent to him by the record companies and give them to me, the only one I kept was the Ramones Blitzkreig Bop picture sleeve!

Cheers Guys...thanks for the info.

You`re right Pete that record is terrible!

Just sold it for £20 so actually it's great!

Four years after this post, John Manship sells it for over £100

I was going to say it was on his auction the other week as I recall. Also saw one at the Manchester record fair last week.

A few Larrington Walker's turned up by a seller on eBay last year. It memory serves me correct, I think they were £30 each.....Times & places, eh?
