He did say it was stamped - who'd want it with that writing on it though?

I will second that great find!

Astonished when I won this on Ebay last week - cost £26. I had to put a middle in it but even so - and it plays mint.

Yeah, you're the ugly c*nt

2.Chicago press thinner vinyl @ (1.09mm vinyl) label is a lighter shade ie (the one we have on auction)has TWO visible pimples on the playing surface, these do NOT affect play but you can see them if you twist the record in the daylight. The matrx in the deadwax reads 62771 this number is lightly scratched in and staggered. Worth 2500 to 3500 we'd guess This is the copy I sold by the way. The one from this auction.

Anyone ever seen a stock copy of Baby Without You?

Mine too, get well soon Rick

I have an EX+ demo for £50. I know you said PM but I put it here in case you don't want it and someone else does. Soz.

Was 1988, that clip. It's on the first ever compilation video / DVD I did.

You should see the whole show! Joe Matthews,. Eddie Hill etc

Absolutely fantastic photos Chris

Booted in 1976 on Velgo, styrene press, original is on vinyl...most of the originals jump

Have reopened this as the guy who was gonna buy the lot has now decided not to for whatever reason

.

There's definitely no boot or legal reissue of an issue copy - well there might be now, via Outtasite, but there were none in the 70's, I'll bet you a copy of Chuck Wood on Disco Demand

Me too. And how the story came about. Chicken / egg scenario.

You sure about that, I've never seen it in my life!

CHEERS PETE

Not sure but I'll have a look mate, don't remember selling that

Don't think I have Russ, sold it on Discogs if I remember correctly, sorry

Only ever heard this once, at the 100 Club 15 years ago - don't even know to another recording of it - was credited to the song's composer

I had no idea but thats great

Went for only £32 as it was a common 2nd issue, if only it had been a "first issue" I might have got £50 for it.

Yeah it's a hard one to find. Boring people to tears now by saying I had it first as a cover up, which I did, when I used to run my fanzine (told everyone who it was in the next issue), so when I sold that in 95 I didn't see another copy for maybe 8 years, and I've only seen one since then - it was £60.
