Reviews
This is definitely the best sounding vinyl of McCartney of I own, a rip of 45rpm the most hi def way to listen- Edited one year agoDo not have the 12inch, but what a fucking surprise. Unbelievable. Never never heard this particularly McCartney song, I am speechless.
Pre techno as a punk song too.
Wow 
- Q: Came the 12" with the picture sleeve with an inner sleeve. If so, what did it look like: Black or white with a patent number?
Edited 5 years agoI recently bought a great copy of that weird 12" hosted in just a plain black cardboard sleeve. First I was embarrassed because I thought that I had been driven round the bend. Now I just found out that the picture sleeve had been limited at the time the record came out! Though more copies of the vinyl were pressed then, they were originally delivered in that certain cardboard sleeve. Both versions are official releases though. I just wonder, how artist and record company can come to terms with such, more than weird release politics.
Edited 5 years agoI have a version that times out at 3:05. Same speed. Can't hear any edits. weird. Is there an edited version of this somewhere. Anyone know?- Please help. I saw an americsn Columbia 45 of temp sec/SECRET friend in 1980. Was this actually issued. No one seems to know. Write me gmsomethingforeverybody @gmail.com
- I once saw an American Columbia 45 of secret friend / temp secretary. Secret friend was about 5 min long. I can find no evidence today that it was ever issued. Can ANYONE shed light on this? Perhaps it was issued then quickly withdrawn? Gmsomethingforeverybody @gmail.com
