Ah right, now I see it :-)) Is it the Friday Music version? A classic that I simply cannot get into as much as I used to :-(( 'Still in Love with You' still does it for me though and I love 'Emerald' and 'Southbound' too...

Picked up at my local Oxfam for €7 and I imagine worth every penny. It's not something I love on first listen but I've been around long enough to know that sometimes the ones that take ages are the best. Some really good bits thought.

The one I have is pretty old, though in good nick. What is the Friday Music version??

Prompted by its recent appearance in another thread I gave this one a spin earlier today....



....and it still sounds great!!

All I know Dave is someone from the Cloney forum had a copy and verified that it sounded great with his Electrostatic setup...could have been Derek? Anyway I've seen it in Tower over the last while and it's around the €30.00 mark...I used to have the original but it's long gone;later replaced by an Irish original which does not sound as good as the English original....but I could be wrong, as memory can play tricks... What version have you got Dave?

Indeed it does fergus, indeed it does :-))

I've no idea. The disc itself is in good condition but the cover is a bit tattered in places so there is no way of telling what version I have.

On the rear my copy it says 'Marketed by Phonogram' and it has the Vertigo label logo visible on the right hand corner; on the Lp label it says 'Phillips' and 'Made in the Republic of Ireland'...confusing or what?!?!!? As far as I can remember my long gone original copy was also marketed by Phonogram but it was on the Mercury label and it was an English pressing...the very same label as the Rush albums used to on;I'm sure the English pressing was a superior one to the Irish on I possess...as Rush used to say....to be continued :-))

ah, I have the same version as you so. I might pick up the Friday music version at some stage. Side 2 of mine is a bit more scratched than side 1 and I'd really like a good copy of this record.
