of the white Demo.

I've never considered it a rare record, issue or w/d, I just thought that dealers had it over-priced.

In the "crazy days" it did sell for £60 - 80 now you can pick up a decent for for less than 30.

White Demo`s & issues, as has been said very overpriced of late me-thinks. And as far as I know not been booted.

Nicest way to own this is the Australian demo:

 Kegsy's well common himself, so the record will be really at home with him then. 

 

BTW, Kegsy, still trying to ascertain from Charlie if I'll be sleeping with you at Cleggy !!!

It shouldn't cost any more than five or ten quid, that's what it initially cost and no reason why it should cost anymore now.

I rarely find this record in the US these days. 

 

Lots of copies here though.

 

I did find 13 in one shop back in 2003 when it was one of the hottest things around...had a steak dinner that night!!

I rate Willie Hightower more than a tenner but not as high as some have listed, seen t at £75. Saying that I've seen it sell for that.

still loads around though

Anyone who hasn't done, flip it and play the B side "I'm Going Through Changes Now" - ace tune

Hi Chris,

Wasn't this a Shifty "discovery", or did he just out it?

How can this be a "discovery" it was in the Billboard Disco chart as a new release?

Shifty certainly played it in the early 2000`s and was at least partly responsible for its reactivation at that time.

 

I believe it was played as a new release, maybe at the Mecca or had the Mecca closed by then?

 

We had Ronnie Walker on at our "Dab of Soul" event a couple of months ago and he did a fantastic live version of both sides.

John - that's why I put "discovery" as opposed to discovery! Perhaps I should have said reactivation

It even made the lower reaches of the Billboard POP charts in 1976.

You'll be pissed by 9pm Friday night, so I'll just park you on the grass outside the caravan door & make better use of your bunk.

I paid £2.50 for my copy and remember it being played at an alldayer in St. Albans in 1992 (to a decent dancefloor reaction as well!!).
