I too recall when there were plenty of copies around. I know I paid 10/15 quid for it after I read a review in, I think, Martyn Bradley's Soul Renaissance mag. Plenty of dealers had copies. However don't know how many they had. Stamped credits surely suggest a rather limited number of copies. But what puzzles me is that there is such a demand for this record. Ok, it's nice. But certainly not a huge 3 figures sort of record IMO. Otherwise I would have kept my copy.

The 45 on german Liberty is in rather low soundquality. Or at least not like other Liberty 45s from the same period. I used to pick it up every now and then in the past. But not anymore. It more or less disappeared completely.... If you're not too fussy about the format, the track is featured on a number of albums from all over the world.

sorry if I may repeat anything already said. But I didn't read all the posts in this thread. Easy way to avoid needle burn: 1) use a proper modern DJ needle. they are shaped for cueing backwards and forwards, no matter how fast. Hi-Fi needles are shaped for one-way use. 2) Do not put too much weight on the tone arm. Today's vinyl can handle heavy weight, e.g. scratching etc. But yesterday's vinyl or styrene can't. Rule of thumb: 2,5 on the scale for any record in VG- or better condition. If you're about to play a record in worse condition, e.g. one that might jump or is warped, use 3.5 max. Turn back to 2.5 afterwards. I'v been dj'ing and cueing records 1.000s of times over the last 25 years. Never damaged a record.

I understand this was a demo only release? On my demo label reads 3:17 on both sides. So I guess the 5 min version is LP only.....

There were 1 or 2 copies for sale at the Rimini weekender last July, from what I remember €200 each.

€150-200 max these days.

Well, it is longer Not a complete remix with any additional instruments or so. Just a longer mix (from what I recall).
