I'm sure the "made in italy" UK TMG demo was posted before. Probably many moons ago. Back then it actually sold for quite some dosh I recall.

Mines ok no hiss at the start

There's also an alternative take which made it on a UK Charly 12" only vinyl-wise if I remember correctly.

Sorry, just saw that. It's sold.

Nice ones. I thought the Casino was much larger. When I watched the Casino parts in the Northern Soul movie I thought they used a venue similar in the interior but significantly smaller than WC actually was. Guess I'm wrong then.

Isn't the Village 45 a belgian bootleg?

Maybe it's just me. But I love these little snippets of information. Thanks!

You're spot on. Mike Post either produced it or beefed up the original recording before it was released.

See here. At least 4 releases on Joker. The fifth one listed originates from Germany. Mid/late 90s. They used the UK Joker label to press 3 tunes in demand on the scooter scene back then.
