Picked this up again late 90's Roger on the MS1010 purely to spin the "You've Got The Love To Make Me Over" side a few years back.... nice tune....

Yes, I bought this in the 70's from Soul Bowl.

I have tried along the way to buy the other Numbers.

Most of the copies of 1010 that I have seen on ebay have been the Double A Side DEMO

I am guessing that the Stock Copy isn't that easy to find, Is that the case.

an LP is mentioned on 1010....presumably never released ......wonder if "go on and laugh" would have been on it?

The MS-1010 has a different DOUBLE A DEMO for both sides

I've only seen Sliced Tomatoes DOUBLE A DEMO on ebay

John has the Stock Copy but at a Higher price.

I have spares for sale of most of the variations of each of the three Sliced Tomatoes releases.

I also have QC test pressings of many Music Merchant / Invictus / Hot Wax numbers, including unreleased ones.

They are available for sale too. In fact any of my records are available for sale for the right price.

Thank again

Thanks for all the info , but what about all those Music Merchant copies up for sale on Ebay - they have blue label and "Sliced Tomatoes" on both sides w/ # 1010. Are all of these from 1972 or are they boots as well???? Please let me know...

By the way, it sounds like the b-sides tpo Sliced Tomatoes are quite good - which one should you go for and does anyone have a sound clip or can show me the direction towards a chance to hear one of these tracks???
