Sidney Owens & The North South Connection "Sputnik" (Moving Up '45)How rare is this one?
Comments
Pretty rare. Not "Great Deltas" or "Trace of Smoke" rare, but it's still fairly scarce.
Seen more copies of Tra La La than Sputnik for sale
was just listening to your comp while studying and got to Sputnik and had to check to see what that track was.
cool shit.
Peace.
I remember there being a few copies around a couple of years ago, but haven't seen it recently. At least 4 copies of Sputnik have been on ebay this year. I have no idea how often the Great Deltas might have been on lists, though.
How much did it go for?
My copy cost me ??80 a year or so back, I've seen it on the bay once since, went for over $200 closer $250, a totally amazing record, part of my next CD mix I'm about to do!!
there is nothing like the feeling of hyping your own records, ey beaver?
Record Hype is justified here...special 45...

I would generally agree. It's on the very very short list of Things That Sound Like Melvin Bliss. I give Melvin the edge because it sounds more sincere to me, but yeah, "Sputnik" is a serious one. I would ask, though, that anyone who includes this in their mix please be sure to contextualize it among some equally special stuff, lest it throw into too-stark relief the comparative unremarkability of most other similar material and reduce the rest of your shit to table salt. I would love love love to hear a mix wherein "Sputnik" was not the most bugged thing. This is my grown-up Christmas list. I know there's dudes here that can do it. Excelsior.
I'll only hype what I truely believe in, no false prophets here bro
me tooooooo
