Bought a nice french test press of his ep featuring Blues In The Night recently,

Anyone got a current upto date value on this?

I notice John Manship has had one at some point as it's listed when you carry out a search on his site...

...Does anyone know if there are anything other than test presses of this EP in existence? I've got one (bought for 7 euros at a flea market last November!), a mate's got one, seen a couple listed and sold (the two spoken of above) - but I've never seen it on a pukka Atlantic label, with a pic sleeve!

TONE :yes:

For those interested in ska & reggae; Prince Buster used

almost the same backing track for his killer "Earthquake" tune.

Even had the same guitar intro.

I'm gonna check that P.Buster track out!

Bought the album 'Wanted One Soul Singer' just for that track! Cost me £40.

Yep, seen and held the issued version (it's on French Stax).

Here's a piccy for your perusal.

Bought a french ep of Blues in the night about 6 yrs ago, played out at Harrogate and York to mixed reaction - mainly negative - but I've always liked it and it's a good little shuffler :rolleyes:

I've got it on a regular Atlantic France 45 with a picture sleeve. "Watermelon Man" can be found on the flipside. A bit rare, I think. Will be eBaying it soon.
