Description
RONNIE HILTON
IF I WERE A RICH MAN/LAUGHING GNOME HMV POP 1600
DEMONSTRATION RECORD PLAYS AT 45RPM. THIS WAS RELEASED ON THE 7.7.1967. COMES IN THE ORIGINAL HMV PAPER SLEEVE.
AS EVERYONE KNOWS THE B SIDE WAS A BOWIE COMPOSITION. THAT IS THE ONLY CONNECTION TO THIS SINGLE, BOWIE DOES NOT SING ON THIS RECORD. LOTS OF BOWIE SONGS WERE COVERED IN THE 60s BY OTHER BANDS INCLUDING THE BEATSTALKERS, OSCAR & SLENDER PLENTY.
THE SINGER RONNIE HILTON HAS PUT HIS OWN SLANT ON THIS RECORDING WITH SOME CHANGES. ONES I SPOTTED ARE INSTEAD OF EASTBOURNE HE MENTIONS BRADFORD AND NEAR THE END HE SINGS, "I SUPPOSE YOU'RE GOING TO JUMP OFF THE RECORD NOW"........THEN THE GNOME VOICES COME IN WITH A REPLY WHICH IS DIFFERENT TO BOWIE'S VERSION. THE CONDITION ON THE A SIDE IS VG- AND THE B SIDE IS VG+ THE RECORD STILL MAINTAINS A GREAT SHINE ON THE VINYL ALTHOUGH SOME MARKS ARE VISIBLE. I HAVE BEEN VERY FAIR WITH THE GRADING FOR A RECORD THAT'S OVER 40 YEARS OLD. THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. JUST SOME SURFACE NOISE AT THE BEGINNING AND THE ODD CLICK & CRACKLE. WELL WORTH A BID BECAUSE THIS RECORD IS VERY RARE. A MINT COPY SOLD FOR OVER A £100.00 JUST A FEW DAYS AGO
