There’s over 13 or 14 copies , take my word for it as I’m not going to go through them all but there is , me and friends counted that many after going through who had copies and who they sold them too , one well known person had 3 copies supposedly,I missed it twice myself once privately another when it was auctioned just too much for me , btw there’s rarer records less copies well known big hitters that are cheaper but in my opinion not nearly as good

I told the seller it was and that he shouldn’t be advertising it as original, he disagreed saying it had the stamp and he’s had it donkeys , tried my best but wouldn’t have it , eBay has become a joke of a firm now as the amount of obvious fraudulent adds are overwhelming camper vans cars everything , lots now collect your information when you ask about a vehicle you might be interested in they sell your email on to marketing firms , I pointed this out with many others but their happy to take the fee’s for the adds so couldn’t give a monkeys same advertisements for same underpriced vehicles on there month after month at prices that would be sold in hours

Also me thinks it is also

CULCHETH RETURNS CASINO 50th Anniversary Special
Paul Shirley commented on Bazm's event in Soul Nights
I can think of one or two that was forward thinking in fact a a few others also not that far behind Richard Gary Rushbrook comes to mind for one , -
as above I took the record back from sales list a few days ago as didn’t want to sell , but needs must so here it is again Differences …five minuets , I would grade as excellent but has a two or 3 very light small marks hardly noticeable in vinyl,and water stains label for those that are bothered, the record plays perfect 2k is the price , I’m told that’s a fair price
