John Andrews released a record in 1966 that now sells for over £1,000 so I've no chance of ever getting an original copy....It was " A Rose Growing In The Ruins" and I have never seen it on any compilations and only a few seconds of it are on Youtube....Does anyone have a recording of this at all ??.....I have the B-Side, "It's Just Love" on a compilation but I would love to hear the A-Side and contemplate why it is so rare.....Any chance anybody ????

Mike, you need to put your reply outside the quote, otherwise people won’t see it.

Why the interest in this record? I’ve never heard of it!

I bought a book called Tapestry of Delights and it is mentioned in that......I had never heard of it and was astounded that the last one sold for over £1000

TMG , it is really a 45 question, etc, it is indicated £1200ish over there , basically Northern Soul has pushed the price up, but copies can turn up cheap if you fall over them
