Pete Burton Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 i always thought it was an lp only track,nice to know its on a 45 nick Very hard to find on Hot Line, I was lucky to get my copy from someone on here recently. On UK Action its about £50 but I'd say £150 for a Hot Line copy. Great looking label as well !!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

John Benson Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I've got this on Action (Promo) Which just prompts me to mention that strangely enough, this was the 'B' side in the USA whereas on the UK release - it was the 'A' side. UK demos are same both sides but the US demo has both sides of the record. ...That's just in case anyone's interested... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

pikeys dog Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Don't buy a U.S. demo, it's the same both sides and unfortunately it's the wrong side. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Benson Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Sorry... have I got it slightly wrong? US demos are double sided of the A side (Henry Ralph) and not having the B side? Not having a US copy I was only going from memory I thought I'd seen a demo with both sides on it - ah well... I stand corrected then Cheers Joe Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 ...How great a record is "You Say", by the way? You'd hear it all the time and everywhere if it was worth £850.00, rather than the eightpence ha'penny or thereabouts that it's always gone for. Top B-side too (in spite of an unpromising title), "State Fair"... Always been near the top of my "acts I wish I'd seen" list, The Esquires. And thanks, Mark B, for the nice 'big-up' - it's always nice to know that my efforts are enjoyed by the kind of people who I hope will like 'em...
