Andrea Ko Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Hi, does anybody have a spare copy of it? Thanks, Andrea
Nick Hackett Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Cheapest way to buy it is..some misspressed on Curtis Smith on Essica.. Say you will
Marc Forrest Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Cheapest way to buy it is..some misspressed on Curtis Smith on Essica.. Say you will True, not ojnly cheapest but also safest way bearing in mind the boots. But sure to check it out before buying as not all do play "How High" on the flipside. Marc

Marc Forrest Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 When was it booted Marc? Also what's the way of telling them apart? Blimey, thats a good question. Don`t know when exactly but definitely long before this tune saw its revival (in Germany) about ten years ago. Marc

Julianb Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 My copy for sale is a light green label with 'How high can you fly' /say you will. S4KM-0869-1A with a couple of dots opposite in deadwax. Bought in the States 98 so assume this is an original? Julian

Bought in the States 98 so assume this is an original? Julian So there is definitely two different releases of this 45, as mine has just got the following scratched in the runout grooves: 401-A (on the "How High..." side) and 401-B (on the "Say You Will" side) Got my copy from a minor US dealer a couple of years ago. It has got perfect sound quality, shows obvious wear from having been unsleeved for some time, so it would surprise me if it's a bootleg. Perhaps just a case of two different pressing plants? Does anyone have a scan for the S4KM-0869-1A copy?
Sebastian Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Does anyone have a scan for the S4KM-0869-1A copy? Answering myself here... I've dug up some scans of the S4KM-0869/0870 release as well as scanned my copy of the 401-A/B release. They have obviously been pressed at two different pressing plants and it's also interesting to note that Eddie Silvers is credited as writer/producer on the 401-A/B issue, while Curtis Smith is credited as writer/producer on the S4KM-0869/0870 issue (which was pressed at an RCA plant in 1965, the "S" in S4KM denotes that)! So... what's up? Have a look below. 401-A/B issue: S4KM-0869/0870 issue: Edited December 2, 2008 by Sebastian
pikeys dog Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Local and National releases? Mines the same as the top one.
Marc Forrest Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 The bootelgs were yellow and "designed" like the ones in the scans Seb posted as S4KM-0869/0870. Marc
Citizen P Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Can't recall hearing the Willie Small, but are we saying here that he and Curtis Smith are the same bloke and the b-side of The Living End is the Same Record or what??? Confused? You will be ATB Tony

Sebastian Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 that´s what we are saying Tony But only on some copies of "The Living End"... Very confusing! "The Living End", now THAT'S a pounding tune!
gazman Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 What does this go for these days? Mines the 401-A issue, curiously it's got a small $1 stamp on it, worth more than this surely? gary
Jonko Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 I am wanting to buy this record for ages but I am really confused by the issues. There are 4 listed on discogs and different to the two listed above one of the green ones 401 release is accredited to Curtis Smith rather than Eddie Silvers as in the pictures posted. I am really unsure as to which to buy. Can anyone advise me the difference. Obviously I don't want the boot but also confused by the 3 seemingly legit issues.
