I've been following this thread for a couple of days and I am seriously puzzled why it has gone on so long. Value for money in the entertainment industry is and always will be subjective. The general rule that "you get what you pay for" only applies when you purchase tangible objects like cars, furniture, clothes, food, etc and even here their is an element of subjectivity. The previous comments that, free entry or £3 events are crap, but if you pay £15 they are going to be a great, is completely unfounded and has no relevance to value. In my opinion "Horse and Groom" Doncaster free admit = great value, "Kings Hall" Stoke £15 ? = poor value , wear as, Prestatyn Weekender total average cost £300 (inc food acomm, fuel etc) is poor value, but the Bamberg Weekender @ £600 is great value. Now before you all jump to your key boards to slag me off please read the first three words of the sentence again, I'm not necessarily right, I'm sure that a lot of folks would have a completely opposite opinion, whilst for others the afore mentioned are neither both great nor poor examples of value for money. The costs and calculated risk of putting on the big events by professional promoters are enormous and they are entitled to make as big a profit as the market can sustain, however, events organized by promoters where the driving force is, a passion and love of the music rather than profit are imo more enjoyable to attend and are more likely to represent better value. Ultimately the commercial success or failure of most things in life is determined by placing the right product in the right marketplace and pricing it accordingly.

Written by Kris Kristofferson, this one sums up Johnny Cash perfectly for me as the voice of the............bum! hobo! drunk! waster! .....or put another way .......some ones son, daughter, mother, father or just another human being who happens to be down on their luck, and who but for the grace of god might be me or you ...............for me its got "Soul" by the bucket load https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED5s1-Fe9FA

Apologies sir you are correct , their is a demo clip on YT with the correct label scan which is what I which I wrongly chose to assume the clip to be. I should have checked then I wouldn't have made an ASS out of U & ME ATB JF

I think that you should make potential buyers aware that the sound clip is the from the promo, which is not the same as the issue that you have for sale. ATB John Fisher

Been after this for over two years only ever seen two come up for sale in this period. Don't think it will ever turn up in quantity, and it will always be big bucks unless you find it yourself in a garage sale.

Had both album and single got rid of the single for £100 about 3 years ago. Play the album and fade it out, it ain't difficult .... even I can do it.

I assume you know that the album version is a slightly different and much better mix.

£100 ?
