Jim Demetriou Collection

The Icemen 'It's time you knew' Ole-9 £700.00 ono

A rare one from the box of our dear friend Jim, who lost his battle with cancer in 2007. His mother has asked me to pass on his records, and all proceeds from their sale will go to her. (She's going to get a nice shock whenever this one sells.)

I think this is the first record by The Icemen - the same duo as on Samar and ABC. It's a good northern dancer, and the flip is a great version of the Manhattans' 'It's gonna take a lot (to bring me back baby)'. This predates the Manhattans and I presume is the original version, but maybe some soul nerd out there could confirm that.

Normally this record has blue vinyl, but this is a rarer, black vinyl one. The label is mint, 'It's time you knew' ex, and 'It's gonna take a lot' I'd put at vg++ (?), but happy to return if you're not happy with it.
