Damian Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Hi all, Anyone with a decent playing copy of this that they'd part with? TIA, take care, D
purist Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I'm probably telling you something you already know about this great lice of N/S, but just in case, this was released 3 times. First time as Linda Burns on Ty-Tex, then as by The Dolls on both Toy & Loma. All these releases happened between 65 and 66 ( I think? not definite about the Toy release?) so not much to choose between them date wise, although it's generally accepted that the Linda Burns is the original, and it's definitely the rarest by a country mile (some say it sounds better? a more northern version, but not sure i could ever tell any difference at all when i had it on all 3 labels?) On Discogs there's a Linda Burns for sale at £150, no idea who the seller is, or if the seller is on here? Cheapest format is usually Loma at about £60 for a near mint very nice clean no writing or stickers etc VG++ and Toy copies about the same or slightly less (dont think Ive ever seen a Toy WDJ?) hth btw have you seen the live versions on youtube, brilliant in their sparkly green dresses !

Thank you... you have told me something I did not know......never twigged the Linda Burns was the same Sold a clean Loma issue about 2 years ago for £40..got my hand snapped off... I am holding onto my other copy 1
Steve Ss Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Also... apologies for jumping your thread... at least it will be bumped back into view...
Prophonics 2029 Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I thought the Linda Burns was a different recording altogether.
Tlscapital Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Sorry no spare copy to part with at the moment but meanwhile enjoy this; 1
Damian Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 I certainly didn't know about the Linda Burns.. thanks for the tip! Take care. 1
Damian Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 btw, is either of the pressings (LOMA or Toy) *not* styrene? (Also, are they the same recording?)
Damian Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Was watching it just this afternoon.. it's just *magical*. Sorry no spare copy to part with at the moment but meanwhile enjoy this; [clip] Edited May 15, 2015 by damian
Tlscapital Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Was watching it just this afternoon.. it's just *magical*. the real 'A' side also... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlMEg_n1I2c
Tlscapital Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 btw, is either of the pressings (LOMA or Toy) *not* styrene? (Also, are they the same recording?) Toy is vinyl and Loma styrene. I believe they would be the same recording/take but I have yet to hear a Toy copy. Now the Linda Burns is another take on the singing to the Loma and the mix/mastering is different.
Damian Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I have that on 'This is LOMA' (#2). But if I'm not mistaken it's under a different name there? I'll find it and check. [this was about the flip above btw] Nope, it's The Dolls indeed. Edited May 16, 2015 by damian
Amsterdam Russ Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 The Toy & Loma releases are the same recordings to these ears. 1
Pete S Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I sell this for £30 usually...always buy it cos I love it
Damian Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) a VG- Loma promo popped up on Ebay today, BIN for $9.99 from a US seller with over 11k positive feedback.. took a chance on it, let's see what turns up. I hope it's not chewed up. Thank you to all of you who have offered copies and I still might go for one, depending on what shape this one turns out to be in. Will keep you posted -- cheers!

Stubbsy Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Hi all, Anyone with a decent playing copy of this that they'd part with? TIA, take care, D Sent you a pm Damian 1
Damian Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Well the Ebay gamble turned out in my favour this time - these arrived today: They are, most of all, just reeeally dusty. But they look like they'll clean up really well, and they play all the way through without any major flaws. In short, good playing copies - paid $15 for the lot. Once again, thank you very much to all of you who have offered copies (and sorry to have bothered you for nothing but I wasn't expecting these to pop up!) - take care!! 1

Damian Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Yeah, and they did clean up beautifully! One of them barely crackles at all.
