Perhaps I should rephrase this. Did it ever get released into the public domain in any format?

No Simon, it almost certainly did not.

The story is it's a one side of an album acetate (a bit like Sy Hightower in that respect) that never came out.

Richard eventually sold it, to Colin Dilnot I think. Sam has had a carver made of it (somehow) and stuck on a Prelude label too. :thumbsup:

I am more interested in what the rest of the elpee sounds like :lol:

I've always assumed that his last single Special Occasion was on it as it wasn't on the first LP.

Don't know if it's of interest, but here's an article from a July 1978 issue of Billboard Magazine that mentions "Space Age Lover" and "Special Occasion" (plus its b-side):

Hi,

 

I still like & would love this track & hear it on the Clifton Halls recording which was about when I went there,

But hey whoever has the PRELUDE demo album with it on will he ever allow us mere mortals the pleasure of hearing it  ? Or will he take it to his grave to be lost forever....Why not release ???????????

Oh BTW im referring to "Space Age Lover"

So I do believe Richard sold it to Colin D. Colin D let Sam cut a copy of it, that's how Sam has it....on a 7" done up to look like a Prelude demo.....whereas the original was an acetate LP that JA found in the US. I think the original is back with Richard now. I tried to prize it out of him a couple of years back, not a cat in hells chance.

Richard has played the track recently on his radio show(s).  Collecting records, like art is a personal thing, most collectors of any sort don't have their collections open to the public so why should records be any different.  I like nothing better than to hear unissued material but can fully understand why collectors don't share.

Oh and it is on one of the Stafford Story podcasts I did of Richards contribution to the venue.
