Guest Aaron Darcy Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) After reading the tread few weeks ago about Billy Harner --What About The Music Instrumental , i thought to my self i have the vocal some where in the house which has been in storage for 40 odd years. I decided to get it out.. it appeared to be in mint - condition. To cut a long story short when i played it turns out to be the instrumental version. Both vinyl and label is mint- condition.....How much is this worth. Thanks for your help. Aaron Edited May 28, 2015 by Aaron Darcy

Guest Malcolm Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 How wonderful- I vaguely remember Johnnie Walker- when a young dj with Radio 1 - would sometimes play the instrumental in background whilst talking to the audience- great find- malcolm
Mick Holdsworth Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I know this may seem like a stupid question, and apologies to Aaron is that is the case, but can I ask if the label is UK Kama Sutra, with the Inst of "Please Spare Me This Time" on the flip, or is it on US Open. ? Cheers Mick

Mick Holdsworth Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Hi Mick its UK Kama Sutra ,flip is instrumental Please Spare me this time , side a....2013029...side b...2013029 Great stuff, thought that would be the case (If it had been a US Open boot that would be a bit of a let down to say the least) About 6 years ago I sold my UK copy for £1000 - probably be more now. Cheers Mick

Cheers Mick Cheers Mick problem is don't know if i should sell or keep , how rare is it ?
Pete S Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 It's the rarest UK release - apart from the one off Darrell Banks London issue I've always maintained it's the rarest
Mick Holdsworth Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Cheers Mick problem is don't know if i should sell or keep , how rare is it ? Depends if you like half a song ! As it only times in at one and a half minutes each side, it always makes you want a minute more. (Check your PMs) As to rarity, as Pete mentioned above, clearly one of the rarest - Someone once tried to quantify it, think we got to about six "known" copies, but that clearly didn't allow for yours. If you've been trawling through the old threads from a few years ago, you may be able to work out where they are now, or at least most of them. I'd say that as years go on a few more "fresh" copies may turn up, but doubt there will ever more than a dozen, even though Blue Max reckoned he personally had six copies in his shop, mixed in with the normal vocal take, and those went out to local Wolverhampton buyers in '71 Anyway, a very good find and best of luck with it. Cheers Mick
Guest Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Worth an upload...here's my Japanese copy...obscure for sure. 2

Guest ritchie Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Fabulous story, I love it when gems like this turn up under such circumstances.Congratulations Aaron
Frankie Crocker Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Great story, well done. I have lost count of the number of times I've bought and played copies only to be disappointed. Definitely a keeper.
Guest Aaron Darcy Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Great story, well done. I have lost count of the number of times I've bought and played copies only to be disappointed. Definitely a keeper.I still have it , i did think about giving it JM to auction and i asked how much he would expect get for it , JM said he would be very disappointed if it didn't reach £2000 pounds or more.
