Williams had about six copies pressed of that record. One was given to Wally. I believe Walter said he doesn't know what happed to his copy but it maybe in Austrailia with relatives(?) Williams wanted to sell the rest to the John, Paul, George, and Ringo but none of them wanted a copy for the price he wanted for one so Williams had 5 copies left. One of the copies Williams said he left at a bar and it was thrown away. The four others were probably tossed out too. btw 'Fever' and 'September Song' may have been on the flip of that record or it may have been just a one sided record.

Johnny Guitar probably had a copy as he was the collector but remember he has his baggage damaged on the return trip so if he had one that was its fate. I wonder if someone is holding a copy on the quiet for future sale.

I wonder if someone is holding a copy on the quiet for future sale. Could be anything is possible, but I would think they would brag they had a copy to get media to push up the price for them. They wouldn't have to sell it right now, just put it in a bank vault somewhere. I'm thinking if someone has a copy now they don't have a clue of it's value and it's sitting in a closet like the Kensington 78 Paul bought.

I am fascianted by the greeting card I was wondering if the last word written by Rory is Hurricanne. I could not get a clear enough image to see. Boy I wish I had the £500.

As we have posted Shaun and Adam we might as well add their Dad a certain Alvin Stardust (Shane Fenton) and his number two track My Coo Ca Choo. Was it ever a hit in the US Rocky.

He was a major star of the Glam Rock era. Also had a hit in the early 1980's with Pretend which got to number 4 in the UK charts..

Rocky pic two is new to me and looks like a companion pic to this one. They were taken in 1958 at the Peoples National Talent Show Butlins Pwllheli. Rare as they are of The Ravin Texans as opposed to RSATH.
