this is what it says on the back of my Earkmark vinyl reissue:

“There were only 200 copies pressed up of which Scratch brought 100 to the UK and these were sold only to those ‘in the know’ for £20 each [over £200 in today's money] and reflected the cult of exclusivity that Sound Men who ran ‘Sounds’ were creating.”

I was a bit wrong, but this story is actually a lot better than how I thought it went haha.

@Dave Quam Great story. Which release was Perry hocking? I heard the first pressing was only released in JA, but there were a lot additional pressings after that. What’s the art like on your copy? Is it one of the covers featured in the vid?

I remember hearing that Perry sold copies of the record when it first came out for like 200 dollars and only to the elite folks in London. Actually I think I read that on the back of my copy. What a fascist! hehehehe
