hi
this looks good! there were a lot of these "99 issued only" LPs produced in UK - something to do with purchase tax or some other kind of tax I think.
Thanks For This Little Gem...They Had Some Heavyweights Playing On This Session!
Just A Dirty Story cracked us up when we first heard it when this LP was first released. I remember playing it for the girlfriends of my pals and enjoying their shocked reactions.
Thanks for this latest batch and all the best for 2014.
Yep Purchase Tax wasn't charged on any products under 99 units. It was replaced by VAT (Value Added Tax) which abolished the "loop hole".
I too have this LP. Does yours have the insert sheet? It was advertised in Blues Unlimited 111 (Dec/Jan 1974/5). This means that it was released long after the abolition Purchase Tax. I paid £2.49p for my copy.
Mississippi john Moment's two songs were recorded by Swedish Radio in Memphis, 24 May 1964. Two of Sony Boy's were from a Danish session of four songs.
Thank you Alan for the extra info on the album. I bought my copy from Martin van Olderen in Amsterdam but can't remember the price. It came in a plain sleeve as seen in the photo with the tracks written on the back. Label is blueish with hand written label info. There was no insert with my copy.
Would it be possible to get a copy from you?
@Alan Balfour and Xyros; is it possible to get a copy of the insert of this LP please and the back cover if it is at all possible?
Any chance to re-post this?
Thank you!
Thanks Xyros. I found these on Discog. The front cover has a shadow picture of SB. The record labels are the same color you spoke about. Does this look right for my file?

@ Daba, there where several different sleeves made for this release and mine is the basic hand written one. This makes it unlikely, in my view, that it was really only 99 copies but several pressings of 99 copies.
