Lou Pride - I'm Com'un Home In The Morn'un (Edited 2004 Version) Last Bastion.
Not from my copy, here's the sound file to this fantastic version. What a fantastic track (copy and paste into browser):

A Northern Soul classic get's a superb re-working by the original artist. This version is perfect for the dancefloors today.
This is my only copy for sale. When this has gone, there'll be no more available from me as I'll be keeping my other copy.
A side is Mint unplayed condition. B side is NM having been played just once on my home Hi-Fi system (NAD deck, Ortofon stylus). I played the B side in order to check the sound quality, as I noticed a small mark on the vinyl, like a paper scuff/manufacturing issue (see photo). Anyway, not to worry, as when I played it, there was no effect on sound at all. I would grade the sound quality of the B side that I played as 10/10.
This is a rare chance to obtain an indemand Soul rarity of tomorrow, today. This dancefloor magic sold out on pre-release due to huge demand. One has already gone through ebay for way over £100.
This brilliant re-working was limited to 300 copies and the Last Bastion records have stated that there will be no repress - so that's that. If you want a copy, it's never going to get any easier than now.

Because of an error at the pressing plant, all copies of the single have been pressed with the A & B labels reversed. Therefore, the side labelled 'Radio Edit' is actually the longer (Original Full length cut) and vice versa.
This is the first time Lou Pride's sensational 2004 version has been committed to vinyl.
In addition to the full length 2004 version which forms the B side.
The A Side is a new DJ / Radio Station edition, destined to be a dance floor and Northern Soul favourite.
Neither track has previously been committed to vinyl, with the A Side previously unreleased in any format whatsoever before.

From Richard, Kev, Ginger & Sean:
"A tremendous reworking by Lou of his huge Northern Soul anthem, discovered by John Anderson at Soul Bowl, and made big by the DJs at the Cleethorpes Pier All-Nighter back in 1975" Richard Searling (B E M, Queens Honours List, 2019)
"Lou soulfully rides the groove as if he’s Isaac Hayes auditioning for Blood, Sweat & Tears....Willie Henderson’s All Stars weaved their magic with Lou and discovered a whole new set of fans. A new classic!" Kev Roberts (Wigan Casino/Event Promoter/Radio personality)
"The perfect record for a packed dance floor. From deep in the heart of Texas, one of the greats, still is and for ever" Ray 'Ginger' Taylor (The World's no.1 Northern Soul DJ)
“The 2004 recording packs just as much as the original 1970 release with a added funkier edge and clarity just right for today's dance scene in both northern and modern rooms and without doubt will become a favourite spin at all venues. This tune will guarantee a dance floor avalanche and then continues to whip the crowd up into a frenzy on the dance floor!” Sean Chapman (Northern Soul & Mod DJ and Record dealer - Chapman Records)
Postage is the standard recommended by ebay due to weight and to cover insurance for the anticipated final price.
If you missed this superb record at pre-order stage (like most people did!) then, now's your chance. Good luck.
