I have Littke Samson - PMd you

Both vinyl and cover are pretty much MINT. Cover has a neat cut out hole top right. Cover has a neat round ‘London (logo) - Promo Copy - not for sale’ sticker

I think I still have a copy here. PMd you

I have one here @£100 + P&P. As close to Mint as you’ll find. PMd you I have one here @£100 + P&P. As close to Mint as you’ll find

N.B. It’s a totally different take - not just RPMs

And LP only The Ripple Blast Singers LP ‘Funny Girl a la Soul’ which includes ‘Sadie Sadie’. You have to be very careful when buying a copy tho’ as there are two versions of Sadie - a slow version and a fast version. Both releases have exactly same cover and label - one character difference on the run out grooves is the only way to visually tell!! THIS IS THE FAST VERSION

Another overlooked one Thelma Houston LP ‘same’ which includes the LP only ‘Nothing left to give’. Never quite worked out why the track listing on the USA release of the same LP excluded this track!!!
