Your choice of user name won't have helped your cause....

Feck me, It's not often I'm wrong but I appear to have been right on the money again. Where's the smug avatar?

The P&W demo is vinyl - moulded over label.

The purple and white promo is not a photocopy of the issue shown above - the text at the bottom of the label isn't in the same place - the engineers name comes further across on the P&W demo.

Got a UK demo kicking around somewhere....

Was booted on the purple and silver label - but the silver print quality is shocking - you can barely make out the label. Purple and White demo's are contentious to say the least - but about 60% of people who I've spoken to reckon its kosher.... it's usually them without a copy that says it ain't....

Surely that means it was dealt with at the time? So the posting about it on a forum is an attempt to escalate the dispute?

What, bleating on about it on a forum instead of fronting the person there and then?

I don't know which is why I didn't say. Having seen both the labels, I'd guess at JV first, but it would be just that, a guess....

Either can be had for under £25. Mike Warburton had a JV copy in his sales box for £15 a while back.

Wasn't the issue of this booted on an excellent quality copy? I've got a feeling mine may be a boot, so I've got it sat in the boot box in the loft.

What's the sound quality like on the flip? - the styrene boots were atrocious.. Could it be a much more recent boot?

Doesn't look right.... Any chance that this is Canadian?

Since others have already commented on price, I'll say anyone who is paying more than £25 for this common record is getting their leg well and truly lifted.

Also came out on the last number as a double a-sided promo.... 'sparkly' label, on styrene if I remember right - sold mine to Guy Hennigan a while back.

"You Can Have Him" used to get played in Mod clubs about 10 years ago...

Has anyone got A55 MAN for sale?

They don't tend to strike, they usually go on a rampage with an array of automatic weapons instead.

Great record, but anyone paying more than a tenner for a copy wants their bumps feelin'

i have a visually VG copy of June Bateman that plays well, you can have it for a tenner plus postage....

Came out on Italian with a picture sleeve

The Four Tops did appear... The organisers had fecked all of the weekender attendees over by selling tickets to the chicken-ina-basket crowd and shipping them in in coaches. The venue was chock-a-block from early on, so everyone who had gone for the weekend only managed to see four tiny gold specks on a stage with loads of carrot crunching locals sat at large circular tables in front of the stage. The show was so cabaret that I sidled off into the Northern room after a couple of numbers. After the Four Tops finished the compere announced that the next act would be coming on, to loads of the shipped in yocals grumbling about 'never heard of 'em', 'yarr, be mangel wurzel picking season so i beyoff' etc. So it was that Betty Lavette came out to a smaller but very enthusiastic crowd and blew their socks off.

I reckon it's Euroshite 'cos it sounds like fecking electronic oompah bands...

Snorting top grade Cocaine off eastern European prostitutes derrieres.... Setting aside a couple of grand for the imminent funeral obviously.

all well and good but do you have to do it to the fecking god-awfull Euro-shite dance music? Looks like they've learnt all of their moves off of one of those Japanese Arcade machines.
