It was a TV only release and did not sell succesfully, so def rare in my opinion.
I was lucky enough to find it as car boot sale for 40P :D
Obv. it has a creased cover etc. but who cares? I would never dream of selling any M O stuff I just get it to listen to the music and because like the rest I love to unearth rarities.
I'm pretty sure there are more than those 3 tracks otherwise unreleased, I'll have to dig my copy out.
Incidentally, I got hold of several singles over the years by sifting thru peoples collections of Top of The Pops and James Last Collections at the boot sales. Uuuuuuuurgh!
But it was worth it
Now has anyone got the ultimate?
A good quality version of the Royal Wedding Music which was never released in any format to my knowledge, and is only available as an acetate?

I could sell it if someone is interrested because I have it       on cassette as well and I dont own a record player.
i do Like the tunes though, especially Pipe Tune.

And yes it has other singles too
Guilty
In Dulci Jubilo and
Portsmouth but these Ive seen also on other compilations.

Impressions is worth having due to a remix of I got rhythm whuch us far better than the one released on Platinum.

I got rhythm is not a remix ,it is a live version from a concert recorded at the Southampton Gaumont,on the 1980 Platinum tour.It was to be released as a single but was shelved.For that alone Impressions is worth buying.

That question being answered, may I ask if the compilation Episodes (on vinyl) is also rare?

(I tried to find it in 'compilations' and rarities, and the search option, but didn't see it, so I posted it here)

Hi !
It is a nice compilation, and you can check out RainerĀ“s list, there you can get an answer of what it can be worth.
