mind, it only has to look M- but can play FAIR or worse, Gasher already got a copy that plays fine but looks shite. One copy to look at and one copy to play seriously, my advise: step 1 - ask for a partial refund so that the amount you've paid actually reflects the condition of the record. failing step 1 take step 2 - demand a full refund and return the bloody disc. way to expensive to leave the situation as it is now. you'd be the one who loses in the end wouldn't you? remember, there'll still be the next top #1 want waiting around the corner if you know what I mean... failing step 2 take step 3 - name and shame the seller, talk to him from face to face and sort it out in a way he/she will not forget ...

thanks! original posting edited...

yes, same tune as richard caiton. both versions lovely but r. caiton just wins it for me. richard caiton used to be 100-150 (no idea of what c. otis is worth) but i've seen it listed for much more recently. which one's rarer? i guess charles otis...

Dena Barnes - Who am I, flipside to "if you ever walk out of my life" great track!

ok, it's indeed a bit harsh to say lou's take is dog poo, that's german diplomacy for you i just think lou sounds like a more demo-ish take whereas roy is a prime example of a big-city-everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-thrown-in-beat ballad.

IMHO, a nice track but dog poo when compared to roy hamilton's masterpiece. sorry!

The scan of the "acetate" posted here came from Mark Hanson, he sent it to me for my labelscan site. At the time I didn't doubt it authenticy but do so now He also sent me a scan of a test-pressing of the Vondells "Hey girl", was OK for me back then but looks dubious now... as far as I remember, the original acetate take of "all of my life" does feature a count-in. It is omitted from the take used for the Goldmine CD. also, the take of "baby what happened" on the acetate is more "echo-ing" than the released take. I got a dub of "all of my life" and the acetate take of "baby what has happened" in my DJ box, used to play it occasionally but both sides never raised any interest from the dancers here in south-germany.

as far as I know, yes it's on Twirl only. But at least two different issues, one US and the other canadian. both shouldn't be worth much tho ...
