cant ever recall seeing one on ebay on either variation. JM had an admirations on auction

must be 8 or 9 years ago when he first started them. i think mick h and mick smith

have aspirations. i think carl willingham got chris kings admirations a few years ago.

apart from that ive never seen anymore for sale

Hi Dave,

Think Ted said the other day, on another thread, that he has it as the Aspirations.

Derek pearson as the Aspirations spent £100,s on Budweisers over the years trying to get it off him beer.gif:lamsey:

Jim Wensiora had Admirations which went to Keb then Carl Fortnum.

thats the copy i have. at least i got a copy from carl in the mid 90s.

it may well have been on ebay. ive only been on 5 years and ive never

seen one and none have ever shown on popsike. Looks to me like theres

nothing between them. its rare either way

dave

The thing is with these records is when they change hands it makes it harder to work out how many there are. At the end of the day, we're only looking after them for the next person.

I would say the flip side "I want to be free" has still got some mileage left in it. "You left me" has been a bit over played ?

hi dave / bri.... bloody hell, i'd forgotten all about that acetate, i got it from gaz field, the guy in america who he got it from said he also had a one sided acetate of you left me, apparantly they came to him as a pair, but, he'd misslaid "you left me", he was going to send it over when he found it, but, alas it never turned up. the aforementioned "ive got to be free acetate ended up with nick brown down in london, it was a different mix to the 45

yeah i know andy

but this is has always been in my wants

top 5 and ive got 4 of them

so Its a must
