Haven't played the sound files but I found this bit in the item description quite amusing: "Vinyl in VG condition, with surface noise" If it has surface noise I can't be graded as VG in my opinion. It's like saying "Record Near Mint apart from heavily worn label, massive w.o.l., deep scratches and countless jumps"

Yep, only way to get it on 45. I used to hammer this track for years and always had very positive dancefloor response and quite a few people coming to the decks to request details. Was told by french collectors the EP isn't really very rare but certainly not one you find every day. BTW, the picture sleeve looks nothing the LP cover, at least not like the US LP.

Too many great tracks to pick out any particular one but there's one I poorly attempted to singalong with in the car the other day: Johnny Rogers - make a change. A gem

Both tracks on the same acetate yet there were 10 months between the actual recordings, looks a bit odd to me? I would have expected any tracks on these kind of Motown acetates to haven been recorded around the same time, e.g. within a few weeks?

I thought they were identical?

Just spotted I made a typo on Mike & The Modifiers, it's 30 quid and not 60!
