"PARIS BLUES"

HEAR HERE!

? 2:16? 2:16


A. Wigan Casino anthem that should need no introduction whatever

So I'm not going to bother!

b/w

"OUT OF THIS WORLD"
B. Whereas "Paris Blues" has seen reissued and comped time and time again, the bouncy uptempo flip remains largely unknown - so no borrows sound available; Tony whoops and wails in typical gruff fashion, so it's hardly recognisable as the same song originally recorded by Jo Stafford in 1944


LISTEN TO THE A-SIDE IN FULL VIA THE YOUTUBE POSTING ABOVE (NOT TAKEN FROM THE SALE COPY)

(UK: Grapevine GRP 115, 1979)

Recorded: 1966

Record condition (A-side): Excellent ++ (plays Excellent +++)
Record condition (B-side): Excellent ++ (plays Excellent to Excellent ++)
Some of the original series of Grapevine 45s were recorded directly from an original copy (Lester Tipton being an obvious example), so the sound quality is slightly muffled - as in this case on the B-side here

Label condition (A-side): Spotless

Label condition (B-side): Spotless

The record has a nice solid centre


This record has been played on both sides to verify condition, but there's a full money-back guarantee on all my sales, and I'll refund anyone who isn't totally captivated. Most are sent by 'signed for' delivery (inclusive in the P&P cost).
