I reckon it has always been scarce. Never see it for sale.

Great tune!

Hi Joan

Used to be on the Soul Bowl bulk lists for about a fiver in the early 80s. Wonder how many copies they had? Standard records in 'big' quantities would have been £2.50-£3.00 at the time, so this was probably always comparatively scarce.

Yeah. I never actually heard it until a Kent compilation a couple of years later. I put in on a wants list but was told they had long gone. The list of stuff from the early Kent albums which they did have and I was able to buy was still pretty mind-boggling knowing what we know now though.

I got mine off Rob Mariott. I first heard it off one of his tapes actually.

Was it played at Wigan or anywhere Gareth?

I never went. Far too young. Honest :shades:

I think it predates Wigan Joan (Mecca? IL will know). Was massive enough for a time to have been booted. A good record which will probably get a much longer lease of life as more 'newies' jocks add it to their sets.

Sandy Hadley was a massive Blackpool Mecca spin for Colin Curtis in 1975 & quickly 'booted' on a very convincing imprint. Originals are styrene with 'Bell sound stamp'

I first heard it at Blackpool around 75. Was lucky enough to find one in Moondogs at East Ham a week later. What a shop that was! Don't recall hearing it at Wigan.

$652

i was going to win that, doncha just hate it when you are winning for days and days then everyone else decides to join in and gatecrash the party.

a couple of people i asked informed me that it was not worth any more than my bid and as i could not find any more info on it i let it go...it seems to be harder/rarer than some think perhaps?

anyway - Carl if you get offered two - please send the other seller my way; i would really like this

it's not related in any way to the dramatics on crackerjack, different song, and it's a chicago record.
