£417 in the end. For a little while there it almost looked like the Hussey signature would make it cheaper than an unsigned item :lol:

I'm wondering how many there are left for sale in the world ... I thinks most of us here have a copy (or two).

There were only 1000 of the original pressed. And I have heard that a fair proportion of that thousand were sent back to Merciful Release by the record shops "returned scratched" (i.e. unsold stock :lol:) So I would be surprised if there's many more than about 300 in existence.

While scratching records (that have not sold) in order to return them to the distributor for a credit was commonplace in the 70's/80's (before CD's took over) it was mainly used for albums, and then only major labels.

Most of the record shops that would have ordered DD via Red Rhino or MR would have been unlikely to;

a - order more than a handful of copies (Leeds/Yorks area would have been different)
b - not have been overly concerned with a handful of unsold indie singles

Fair enough. I was just passing on information as I received it. I can't guarantee it's true. ;D
