Description
Rare, RARE, RARE '60s US Original Mirwood Vinyl Stock Copy.
What an oddball rarity we have here. Explained in this thread on Soul Source: https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/326580-needed-to-complete-mirwood-collection/
The record is that random and rare that collectors, record dealers, record label owners and Northern Soul experts such as Pete Smith and Andy Croadsell hadn't heard of it at the time of the thread (10 years ago).
The Olympics - 'The Bounce' (This side actually plays 'The Duck')
b/w
The Olympics - 'The Duck' (Which actually plays an alternative mix of 'The Same Old Thing').
Also, the composer credits for 'The Bounce' side are missing from below the title. A bad day at the office for the bloke who set the pressing plates up.
This record is that odd, I thought for years, I possessed a Simon Soussain West Coast Bootleg from the mid '70s, but apparently it's an original from the '60s, which was no doubt pulled when quality control got their hands on a copy. No wonder the record is so scarce.
Oh, and as for the alternative version of 'The Same Old Thing'. It's superb. It's obviously different to the track people normally have. It's great to put on the decks at the Oldies Night.
A decent VG++ copy in UK/Northern Soul gradings. A beautiful deep gloss, but with a few light scuffs and very fine, wispy scratches on the vinyl. Plays great.
Clean, glossy labels with no Drill Holes, WoL or Stickers.
Flat postage charges, however many you buy. Up to 5x records £2.70 6+ records £4.50
