I can’t recall why I bought this bootleg. Maybe it was just because it’s a nice picture disc. 😊
I haven’t even played it, so it’s still in a mint condition.

Both tracks are great. They are the A sides of his first and third singles, which I’ve already posted here and here correspondingly.

List price:  Not listed in the catalog (Duh!). In 45cat.com price guide this is 28 euros.
