‘I’m so glad I met you’ favourite track. No more words.
seanlinal Mar 25, 2011
Will you take 30 bucks for delicious?
seanlinal Feb 2, 2010
I want the 12" single for delicious. Name your price.
karlos1965 Dec 11, 2009
I have the killer cut from this LP, "Delicious", on a 12 inch single test pressing that was never comercially released. Will post up when I get time.
Incidentally would be grateful if anyone knows the running time of the LP version of "Delicious" as I can't find my copy of the LP and I'm interested to know if the 12 inch single is different in any way. Thanks!
