| | I never noted that if you look at the A side label, there's a faded "Made In England" stamp on it. Between that and the US style date on the back cover, I get the feeling someone shipped copies to the US for sale. I got this copy in a Brooklyn record shop (probably a few miles from where it was sold originally) for less than £69... It was part of a decent haul at the shop (I acutally was looking for a Larry Harlow LP they had) when I managed to get part of our tax refund from my wife. |

| | I'd probably have bitten your hand off for it at that price Mike, even 6 years ago. |

| | Just checked, and I sold my copy (not mint, but decent) six years ago for £69. |

| | I know what you mean about genres! My main focus at the moment is 'blue-eyed' Northern Soul, mainly from the Carolina's although my latest acquisition is from Canada! Also Northern Soul in general. USA and British labels. Expensive!!!
Ska/Reggae secondly, then US Garage and lastly a bit of 60's Mod. I collect other stuff too but these are my main focus. |

| | Sounds like my missus John - we have that in common! Still working too (well, I am anyway).
My problem is I buy from too many genres so it never ends - most recent buy was a Tennessee Ernie album (I wanted 'Shotgun Boogie' on vinyl) and before that the Impressions' Big Sixteen album on HMV. I'll probably get some Reggae next. |

| | It was on Discogs Mark for £170 but I offered £150 and it was accepted. A decent copy and the cheapest I could find! It goes for anything between £200 - £300 so it's been valued on here at £250.
I never feel guilty about paying for records, I've worked all my life (still am!), have a bit of spare cash every month. I only really buy long time wants, very rarely 'blind' buys unless they are dirt cheap and look like they might be interesting. The missus buys lots of clothes, I buy records. |

| | Did you pay the £250 for it John? That's a bit of an ouch if so! I think mine was about £75 but it's no more than VG+ and from a seller who clearly wasn't used to selling vinyl. I paid £180 for Boss Reggae not long ago and I kept telling myself I must be mad.
Actually, the two Economy albums I didn't mention not having on another Cat LP entry were the Bullet and Camel sets, but then at upwards of £300 each I'll be sure to never have them. I can't have seen more than a handful of copies of each since I first knew of their existence from a Pama catalogue probably 40 years ago. |

| | I found this in a NYC shop for a two digit price in 2024. It's in the LP bag that I bring out every once in a while to play stuff that isn't on 45. |

| | Same for me John. Not the greatest copy in the world but it's decent enough.
Missed a copy in Flash Forward in Camden probably 30 years ago - walked in and Paul said something like 'oh, it's you. I've just sold a copy of 'Reco in Reggae Land'. Gutted. |

| | Recent acquisition for me. Long time on my wants list.
The only tracks that Pama put out on a 45 were 'Tribute To Don Drummond / Japanese Invasion' on the Bullet label. |
