I think there may have been a bootleg in the 2000's that was white. I know the ones listed on the net are red, but it could have been a custom label for a carver etc. As to a real one, I'd be gobsmacked!! Tim Ashibende may have info, I know he met Nabay some 20 or so years ago. @Colouredman

I didn't think Johnny Summers was around that early, Never heard it myself until the nineties.

Does it have to be legal CD. ie. A physical medium ? Spotify have "The Marrying Kind" available to stream, and you can buy the digital recording from amazon for 99p https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07HYMGJLT/ref=dm_ws_sp_ps_dp

A couple of takes of the instrumental turned up on one of the Reel-to-Reel tapes from Don Davis that carolinasoul auctioned earlier in the year or maybe last year. They were slightly different to each other, but both recorded at a much faster tempo. It's possible the tape was playing too fast, but unlikely that carolinasoul got that wrong. Don't know if it went to anyone we could ask?

Excellent. I presume it was just the single copy you found.

It's very sad to hear this. Last time I saw him was about 3 or 4 years back in a cafe in Wolves with Walter. Please pass on my thoughts.

I've had a recomendation to use simple luke warm water with mild detergent, and also to use Lighter Fluid ! Guess the last one is one to avoid.

Does anyone have experience in the cleaning of Acetates. Specifically cleaning out the milky film that gunges up the lacquer. I've looked online and there are a few methods suggested, but I'm trying to find someone who has first hand experience in cleaning, or having used a service to clean any discs . . . Successfully. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Mick

I actually prefer the Accents to Jimmy. I bet first copies of that (Spring Song) are quite rare.

As Ady said, in this case this disc was pressed at the same plant that privately ran off more copies. I'd guess the initial grabbers on the night didn't know this, so they may be left with egg on their faces.
