I don't have a sound file, Simon, but its the first track on this old Clifton Hall tape if you want a listen. https://www.soul-source.co.uk/more/soul-events-live/clifton-hall-rotherham-march-26th-1982-part-2 Cheers, Sean

PH 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. I am more interested in what the rest of the elpee sounds like Steve
May 4, 201015 yr I've always assumed that his last single Special Occasion was on it as it wasn't on the first LP. Edited May 4, 201015 yr by John Reed

April 2, 201411 yr 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.
January 5, 20169 yr Hi Guys, I dont know what glory there is from owning this track but I still wonder why non of them or the person who owns it never plays it ! but have they ? ALF

ALF 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. Edited January 5, 20169 yr by chalky
Was this ever released?
I think it was going to be a track on his second Prelude album, has anyone got on more info?
