why is this fetching double what it did a few years ago when I never bothered to pick it up? Arses. Could have had this on a demo for £70 a couple of years back. Issue is much rarer?

Be looking at 125 for a demo and 175 for an issue

Get the Lp instead. Half the price, quality additional tunes and an ace front cover!

Not my thing. I m only interested in getting the first release, usually the demo - but I'll take an issue if the demos are ungettable or 100's more. I can't see any point in owning foreign p/s issues (apart from to put on a wall, perhaps). This has always struck me as very strange - like why would someone want French Small Faces eps, for example?

Thanks anyway - I bought a Metros last night, together with a Frank Dell.

Of course its great to have originals but I find this a strange comment. Personally I have always found it fascinating to see some of the rare soul tunes which have managed to get issues in countries that you'd never have thought there could possibly be a market. Also even straightforward things like a spanish release of OTIS REDDING'S 'My Girl' not only carried attractive covers but an interesting version of the track with OTIS warbling away in spanish on the b side! Again, personally, as a soul fan picking up something like that in M-condition in a junkshop for £2 is as much part of the whole experience as getting hold of a rare US orignal, certainly in terms of historical interest at the very least.
