Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 ...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!

Guest cC B Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited August 29, 2006 by cC B Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sanquine Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) 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 Karen Edited August 31, 2006 by sanquine Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited August 31, 2006 by Sebastian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
