I've got 5 different pressing variants hereabouts, and I'll do a shoot-out a little later.

I Really would like to hear what the current Sterling engineer, Ryan K Smith could do with the master tape with a superior mastering chain than in the 70s. Likely those tapes are still in the USA? It's yet another catalogue crying out for the proper AAA treatment. Good luck finding a clean genuine original pressing. I take it heavy vinyl means a full 120 gram up to 140 gram possibly and not 180 gram.

I went hunting for my original vinyl pressing (I think I went to five copies to get a quiet one) and you know what, I bloody sold it yonks ago probably for a quid

I honestly thought I'd keep it for the sleeve...

A sales manager pal brought all my records down when we moved here in 2004 and he bought around a hundred LP's from me, so I'm all but certain where it is (he has thousands of records at home in a situation Jimmy Highes would be proud of).

Never quite said what I wanted to say to you, Never quite managed the words to explain to you, never quite knew how to make them believable and now the time has gone. Another time undone.....
