You're lucky being able to find CD copies. I have a friend who
runs an oldies record-store, and I brought in some things he's
never seen before. Many 'turntable' hits that are hard to find.

Then there is my original pink Decca recording of Tony Sheridan and
The Beat Brothers - that I've had for close to 40 years. One owner
so far :-) Still in the original sleeve. But that has been issued
thousands of times on different lables, singles, LPs, cassettes and
CDs, but only after everyone re-issued it as a Beatles recording.
Pete Best played drums on that one.

I had a couple of DJ copies I transfered that I did some checking
and found DJ copies for sale in the $60 and up price range. But
the seller would include a transfer to CD along with the original
record. Since at times I was playing recording on the air up
to 6 hours day I tended to collect the unknown as I heard the hits
more often than I'd care to. But someone had to do it :-)
