Guest Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Anyone willing to let this go for under £20? Not fussed about condition as always.
Sean Hampsey Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Afraid its on Keyman, not Mirwood...(with an alternative version on Minit) and these days a good bit more than £20. Sean

Sean Hi As Sean quite rightly states, It was never Originally released on Mirwood. KEYMEN - (ORIGINAL LABEL) Released in the U.K. on Jay Boy in the 70's. There were copies using the Mirwood Logo, (Let's just say "Available in the 70's" - Long and Complicated Story) With the Instrumental as the A Side >>> LINK <<< Edited April 19, 2008 by 45cellar

Bootiful! Simply Bootiful! Bestest Sean

Bestest Sean Yes, Bootiful Indeed. As you can see, I originally put the Instrumental as the B Side. I have since Edited my post as I'd forgotten that it came out when The Instrumental was in Vogue. The Vocal actually relegated to the B Side on these "Mirwood" copies. Edited April 19, 2008 by 45cellar
Guest Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 My mistake, I saw it on Manships assumed it was the original and thought, yeah i like that, I'll buy that I just like that label. There's something classy about the Mirwood label. I would be interested to know the story behind it though, care to enlighten me? Even if it's not quite right on Mirwood, I think I'd prefer it as it's more aesthetically pleasing if nothing else

Even if it's not quite right on Mirwood, I think I'd prefer it as it's more aesthetically pleasing if nothing else I have the Keymen, The Jay Boy & The Mirwood Copies. As you say, the Mirwood Label is an attractive Logo & it is possibly, the only way to own the Instrumental. Regarding the Story behind this release and others like it, I don't quite know if we will ever achieve a definitive answer. Could be a thread in it's own right >>> LINK <<< SIMILAR TO THIS ONE . I quite like the Instrumental, always have. Edited April 19, 2008 by 45cellar
Sean Hampsey Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 I quite like the Instrumental, always have. Yeh - me too, if I'm honest. And I adore The Womack. Bet you bought yours from Boylans, same as me Roger! Sean

Sean Vocal & Instrumental (BRILLIANT) As it happens, Yes. I did Indeed. Incidentely, In that very shop I held in my hands a copy of The Volcanos - (It's Against) The Rules Of Love and I don't recall it being the DEMO. Had it been a DEMO I would have bought it, I just remember the title as I changed it for a correctly Titled copy. Doh! (Haunted me ever since) Thought they were Boots at the time & not everything they sold were Boots. For Instance they had some Via Bradford Market I believe. I didn't know any different, Total lack of knowledge, leaves me wondering if a Stock Copy actually does exist. It was in one of those record sized boxes that Mary had behind the counter, I remember a few different shades of Arctic in the Box - All were meant to be "Laws Of Love". Wish I had a Time Machine, I keep thinking, someone must have bought that copy I handed back about 35 Years ago. Edited April 19, 2008 by 45cellar
Guest Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Thanks for the insight, gives it a certain "provenance" I think. I do also like the idea of having the instrumental, so I think I'll just go for it, if noone can beat JM's price, it'll have to do, it's only £20 I suppose.
