Russoul1 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 500 for a mint one be hard to find a mint copy, believe most have a pressing/sound fault just before the music kicks in, well mine and me mates copy have.....doesnt come up for sale very often nowadays. top top tune though!!
Jim G Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 There is one for sale here https://www.raresoulvinyl.co.uk/auctions/#292
Pete S Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 be hard to find a mint copy, believe most have a pressing/sound fault just before the music kicks in, well mine and me mates copy have.....doesnt come up for sale very often nowadays. top top tune though!! Every copy has that. My most abiding memory of this is buying two copies from the record bar at Wigan, about two months apart, both were £8 each, ah those were the days.
Mach Posted June 20, 2012 Author Posted June 20, 2012 just that this tune brings back a vivid memory for me, at the casino about 78/9..always recall a middle aged portly guy, wearing a pair of spencer,s, a buttoned up blazer, black shiney brogues and white rimmed sunglasses..doing a full on frantic stomp for the full duration of the record at about 4 in the morning, with beads of sweat running down his face, .. never picked this tune up, wish i had when it was a standard tonner..ah well...will after check the auction
Wiganer1 Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 mine was mint when i got ...£75 about 10 years ago..loverly label
Mach Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 yeah just love that sassy cat design.think is other/s on Rika (sweet chicago) have the plain block letters label..boring, u cant beat a good looking label, it all adds to the excitement
