the real question is do you have 600 dollars you're willing to part with?

More like 250-400. Anyways, it's not an uncommon record, so chances are you'll find it in the wild eventually.gunnarthefeisty wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 1:13 pm the real question is do you have 600 dollars you're willing to part with?

I have the French Gramophone pressing (K 7263), also laminated and as good as the Australian pressings.chunnybh wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 11:31 pm This is a very recent pricing phenomena. It is a common record and there are various pressing of this wonderful song.

By far, The Australian laminated pressing is the best.

Hi Chunny! It is a jumpy instrumental called In a Shelter from a Shower, see below. I also found another version while sifting through a pack of small Eclipses and Radio records, also shown below. It is not very good (the singer is mediocre but it has a good trombone solo), but it is the only other recording of this song I have stumbled upon.

Thanks Carlos for the pics. Can I use the French ones on my website?.
Here is my page on the track.

Interesting to see the Harry Leader version on Eclipse. I would assume it is a dub from the American version.
