The story of Dean Parrish is well documented all over the place.
Ian D knows it as do many more.
Swish had played it at the Central (covered up).
It never really caught on.
It was touted around for yonks and none of the big
name Dj.s were interested.

It was originally played off an LP.
It was never issued on a single in the States.
The one above is the UK issue which came out on
the back of Northern scene demand for it.
So yes its a UK original copy, whether it came out in other
countries as a 45 I dont know.

If its the original Canadian Issue its probably rarer than the U.S. Issue.
Plus its vinyl too whereas the U.S. ones are styrene as far as I can remember.
