Impact Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 I know, it seems to be a bit of a grey area. Tim Browns book states styrene only but I have heard that there were original vinyl copies around.

Rich B Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Definitely vinyl as well as styrene. I used to have a vinyl wdj - along with several other vinyl wdj's of Mirwood things.
Chris L Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 I have an original and a boot. The original came from Graig Moerer and the boot from a very well known UK dealer. I'll try and scan them and post them up. Don't ever believe everything that these "experts" say, challenge them heavily.
Chris L Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Do you know what it is supposed to look like Chris? matrix numbers, deadwax etc Will dig them out and post.
Guest Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) I may not have been paying attention, but in all my years of collecting I have never seen a styrene issue of Cigarette Ashes! All the original Demos and Issues I have ever seen are Vinyl! I thought Mirwood had stopped using styrene on these later releases, 5530. If someone has it on styrene I would be very interested to see a scan of it. Edited August 30, 2013 by Guest
Chris L Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 The original has a narrower run-out and the "66-3088-B" is in larger letters, also "H" stamped in run-out. The boot has a wide run-out and the text is smaller than the original. The run-out width and stamped letter "H" is the best indicator. Here are label scans. Original Boot One can't trust the Manship/Brown/Knowitalls of this world 100% The books they publish are great guides but I've yet to find anyone who'll stick his head and say that all the Los Angeles issued Okeh singles are stamped in the run-out. Arthur Wright say not he would know won't he? Good luck. PS : Don't know how old you are, I know instrumentals are not in vogue this day and age but bewt this shook those wooden floors like no other did in its day. Chris 1
45cellar Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 As with most Mirwoods, there's more than one pressing plant Involved.Both of these are on Vinylwww.PopSike.comwww.PopSike.com
Dave Pinch Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 all the mirwood vinyl L.A presses have the ` H` stamp in the runout
Guest Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 The answer is it was released on vinyl only, no styrene's of this release.
Guest Polyvelts Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Second hand happiness is such a great flip, a bit doo woppy but beautiful song.
