Used to go for three figures not so long back, but does seem to have come down in price last couple of years.

Tom Jones version is good, but the original's still the greatest! :thumbsup:

There were loads of them on ebay a couple of years ago, went for around 50-60 dollars every time.

I'm with the Tom Jones fans, kept that but sold on every BEK I've had.

Ah Rodd, at last some soulful sense! :thumbsup:

The Tom Jones version is on an LP which I've seen go for £3.50 on ebay recently.

It's also on a 6 track Parrot EP - so I take it that's a 12" EP?

I would think the white demo is pretty close to that, me thinks!

I found one at Tunbridge Wells record fair in the late 80's - sold it for £30, which was a lot of money for something pretty unknown at the time....soon regretted it.

Anyway I think you'll find the rarest form is actually the UK Atlantic demo - blank yellow demo labels with handwritten titles - 3 known copies

:thumbsup: Still sounding a lot like an EP our Ken!

Ooh that's a bit whiffy! :thumbsup:

It`ll fit in a play box tho`Simhead old boy. :P and they are called mini-lps :thumbsup:

Whiffy i think the iffy recording dont help,sounds like its being sent from outa`space.

Just gotta find out if the Mexican 4 track EP is 45rpm now - just to make things easy 'cos I know I'm gonna forget to switch speed. :thumbsup:

Joe, I take it you're talking 'bout a Ben E. King version? The 6 track EP is Tom Jones.

has it got "i get carried away" on it cause thats on the lp and its ace,

also "cant break the news" by paul jones ? heard it once, its crap !

The 33rpm 6 track EP on Parrot has this, but not the 45rpm 4 track EP. Can't say I've heard it.

Still trying to come to terms with the possibility of playing any Tom Jones track really wink.gif . They sound the business but somehow just don't sit right with me. It's a personal thing.

Now that is nice, certainly the same picture as the UK Decca LP. Is it 45 or 33?
