and mine

This does my head in when I can't think what I covered stuff as, someone might know as I put it on load of cassettes under the made up title and asked people to try and find out what it was.

Hilarious, Trojan String Band? I discovered this about 20 years ago, maybe 22-23 years ago, and covered it up then, shame I can't remember what it was covered as but it's in one issue of Beatin Rhythm, it was off the Millie album on Trojan, then I got it on UK Island and still have it on that label, albeit on a trashed copy - it's by Owen Gray's backing band, The Sound System.

I meant I've got a listing of it and where it says producer it says Simeon Smith (?)

It's down as Simeon Smith with a ? mark. Awful record though, sorry JB!

Nobody knows who it is but RKR says 1969 I think it's later than that.

Yes but the demos for that design are yellow..

As Steve (and I) said - it's a blue test pressing. Same design as "Witchita LIneman" except hand written artist and title

I was going to say that - definitely 80's onwards - tell by the straight leg trousers

Might have gone through a change of distributor maybe, those yellow demos are a bit like Pye demos

I often used to think that you know, but if push came to shove and I had the money to collect anything I wanted to - I'd choose UK over USA every time. I know there's only 1% of material available, but it's the labels, those red and whites, they are hypnotising. And yes, sadly I would collect for the plastic and not whats contained in the plastic in many cases.

Maybe this IS the proper demo? Steve's is definitely a test pressing. I can't remember if my mate's has got the A on it or not, I'm sure he'll read this and let me know.

UK collectors, throw away your records as they are useless...all your years of collecting have been wasted

Yeah you're missing how rare it is... so Darrell Banks on London demo is just a UK issue of a US record? This is ten times rarer than the Darrell Banks London demo

That's what I was thinking Dave. This is the rarest British record I"ve seen in a long long time.

Bumping this because it's actually a stock copy, a record which hardly anyone has ever seen

I know the (one copy only?) issue is worth a fortune - another one has turned up. I wouldn't know where to start with this. Anyone? FORK IN THE ROAD - I CAN'T TURN AROUND - UK EMBER ISSUE

Listening to that makes me depressed
