Anyone have AL Bowlly's Midnight, the stars, and you 24700 they'd be willing to sell?

Thanks everyone.

More like 250-400. Anyways, it's not an uncommon record, so chances are you'll find it in the wild eventually.

This is a very recent pricing phenomena. It is a common record and there are various pressing of this wonderful song.
  • HMV B-6461 UK
  • Victor 24700 USA & Argentina
  • Electrola EG-3023 Europe
  • HMV EA-1338 Australian
  • BA-421 Austrian
By far, The Australian laminated pressing is the best.

I have the French Gramophone pressing (K 7263), also laminated and as good as the Australian pressings.

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.
