Dave Pinch

yes probably early 90`s ....u know how the memory is.

not booted on MB although there was a find of copies late 90`s with flipside labels on both sides...it was booted on a four tack ep in the 90`s with johnnie may mathews, kenny shepard and reggie alexander on it also dave

looks like a normal vinyl test pressing to me dave not so much an acetate...should have the same vinyl as a regular issue with the machine stamp in run out with white label and hand written credits dave

i wouldnt say that cheap pete lol but some people do believe its a £75 when the reality is more £25/30....my uk demo was nice and i cant say ive ever seen another but on issue or euro release £30....in all honesty i was happy to get £60 for the uk demo ,, that and a few more like it had to go to fund a want which is the only way i can do stuff these days dave the skint dave

and me

is there a spanish release,,,, italian and uk play the same mix....german is different and much rarer heres the uk copy dave

one thing we do have in common dave is that weer both dave the skint....i know what your saying. ive had some records 2, 3, 4 times over ..bought cheap and as the years roll on you have to pay more for them when want them back.victors.. bernard williams shirley lawson etc..had to sell to fund wants..i never dismiss buying anything back tho dave

100% for sure dave

in a nutshell bob dave

the hellp copy is the same as seventy 7 (local/national issues from 1972 the solid gold copy same mix as the garpax issue albeit 10 seconds longer both issued in 1977 the 1977 remixes have funk guitars/tambourines and what to my ears soundslike someone blowin bubbles underwater added the 77 copy and the solid gold copies in the you tube vids i own.....bought the solid gold from geordie j hope that helps a bit dave

the dutch release is also on columbia in a nice p/s as well

i sold it on ebay about 2 months ago dave.......i put it on here for £100 twice. it was there for all to see....never sold. so i put it on the bay startin at £9.99 and it made £60..maybe all its worth....bought it from mick smith for £15 years ago so cant grumble..seriously tho i dont think the uk issue or the euro labels are worth anymore than £40 dave

easy enough to buy one back.... but its the gilly history dave

pete french had a chuck cockeram......cheltenhamsoulnights on here

the pinches sold it to the steeles......still not sure if it wo a good move

this was issued in 82 in belgium.....recorded in 68 tho....does anyone know if there is an earlier release in any country or did it just stay in the can for a few years

it came out in holland, belgium france and germany all on different labels with different pic sleeves...are you saying there are two german sleeves bob..just sold the uk demo for £60..the one chalky posted up is my picture

they do mark.not disputing that and they play the same records as these rare issues dave

finishing shortly dave

at the end of the day you got to be a stock copy collector. with the major labels, mgm, rca, decca etc the are no rarities on demo..not sayin common..just not RARE!!! dave

issue is mega rare....some demo`s have reverse labels...nice flip side

the first singer sounds like he`s on helium........it does pick up tho....£!50 imo

gotta be registered post at £6...i think youre insured for somethin like a grand should anything go amiss.........and make sure you got the cash in your hands before sending 45 dave

i have `the waltons theme` by the magic organ on ranwood......its a good un dave
