Thats on Parlophone though..

There are lots of rare green Columbia 45's but they wouldn't really be of much interest to the soul forum really.  Things like Johnny Wells - Lonely Moon.  Popcorn stuff.

Haha, is there no end to the lack of imagination in the mind of a rip off merchant?

Lets hope they did the right thing and pressed it with the Cliff Richard version/song on the B side

Is there really such a lack of good quality sounds around to play?

 

Cant say i've played mine in the last twenty years....should I give it to Johnny Manship to auction?
