May 9, 200520 yr Can anyone help me get hold of the above for a very good mate of mine please link Hi, I have a mint second issue if you are interested £20+ £1.30p postage. I've never seen a first issue. Must be pretty rare. Email me at Philsoul45@aol.com if you are interested. Best Regards, Phil.
May 9, 200520 yr hi , have a near mint first decca issue if you want it , cash or what have you for trade ... andypowell68@msn.com

Rectangle Decca = 2nd issue Oval decca = 1st link I'm not sure thats right Paul, I think the first issue is box logo as well - BUT - the demo's are definitely the old style Decca logo. To tell the difference between the first and the second you'd have to look for the inverted matrix number above the catalogue number, that is, if it's upside down, it's from 67, if it's the right way up, it's from 76. This also applies to Danny Williams - Who's little girl are you, and of course David Bowie - The laughing gnome
May 10, 200520 yr i think its a myth that it came out unboxed , i dont know any uk collectors who have seen it , as pete said its the inverted matrix and also the first issue is a darker blue....so first issue near mint £35..all in with postage
May 13, 200520 yr I've got a box logo issue with upside down matrix numbers in very dark blue......I asked Manship about it and he claimed they began to change the logo in '67 the year it was released explaining how you get both label versions. I saw a curved logo copy for £150 (I think) in Prestatyn. Can't remember if it was a demo or not though!!!!! Edited May 13, 200520 yr by mulf

Can't remember if it was a demo or not though!!!!! link Issue books in Record Collector price guide for £40 but no mention of how much for a demo or reissue. That's handy though as now I know I've got an original if boxed logo upside etc is a good un (yippee), always thought it was a reissue Edited May 13, 200520 yr by richard
May 13, 200520 yr I still say there's no old style logo on this and if anyone's going to know it's Mick Smith, and he reckons there isn't one either.

And there's another way of telling. If you look at the edges of the push out centre you can see that the paper on the labels of the reissues is actually pink on the underside. Originals are black (or maybe really dark blue). Works for Mickey Moonshine too, so maybe it was something to do with the paper Decca was using at the time of those second issues. Godz
May 19, 200520 yr Pete> Could've sworn I saw one......it was the guy selling records right next to Pat Brady......don't know his name..... I must be mistaken if no one else has seen one
