Happy to be proved wrong.
February 4, 201213 yr I've never heard a decent recording. I know someone who compiled a CD of them and he couldn't find a decent one either. He came to me cause he saw a scan I posted somewhere. Tough one too.
February 4, 201213 yr surely with that catalogue number there should be copies on abc paramount and the spot design...that number stems from 1965 and the box design never came into being before the tail end of 67.....i wonder if the recording was shelved for a couple of years? dave
February 4, 201213 yr I don;t know anyone who has a clean copy of 'I'm a lonely girl' - does anyone know anyone with one? BUT the other side is fantastic too imho! Have played it out loads over the years and really love it - bloody lovely imho Cheers Steve

Dammit, why did I stop looking at their auctions like 8 years ago? Actually, it probably wouldn't have been worth the time involved every month looking at junk for 8 years to get this one record.
