Pretty sure its not that rare, i've had copies in the past, and it never seemed that tough to get hold of.

It seems like you have used up your searches for today. But rest assured, both variations are represented on Popsike. The one I linked to sold for £27 in August 2010.

Mister Fish Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Sebastian is correct. The Popsike listing was one I sold. It's the 1st issue with the curved italic writing and yes it did sell for a paltry £27. Most of the 2nd issues sold for more!!

Chalky Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 You are wasting your time really with popsike. As far as I'm are there's little or no demand for the record and therefore probably little history as well. There could have been countless copies slipped through ebay. Not sure what the minimum sale is popsike use now? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I have no idea how many copies there are out there, but just because only 11 copies are accounted for by the people that have seen this thread on SoulSource doesn't mean that there are only 11 copies in existence. Why not phone Manship and ask how many copies he's had through his hands over the years? Or John Anderson. Or any of the other major dealers.
