I'll pass on a tad of wisdom I acquired from the late David Castillo: the French pressing omits the spoken intro, but both the US promo and issue versions have it. Know this.
It's rumored that Black Merda is playing on both sides behind Mr. Ballard. If so, then these are easily my favorite tracks by that group. If you haven't heard it, the B-side is also
Anybody got this for me?
Have to admit I'm kinda glad that nobody came through with one
on here, since I ended up getting it on eBay France for the mind
boggling price of ??4.99, 5-day-auction and nobody else bid!
How awesome is it when you put in a max bid of like $60 or whatever
on a record, hoping not to get outbid, and you get it for the minimum
bid instead?
Anyway, wanted to say thanks for the in this thread,
because I passed on a French pressing without the intro that ended up selling
for much more than this one, and a double a-sided copy, too, knowing
that I wanted the B-side. So thanks again, Soul Strut, for the help.
