This is the sort of find I love. During one of my regular internet hunts I was scrolling through a long list of the usual suspects, sleeves I’ve seen a hundred times before when all of a sudden … hold on, what’s this?
Harry Nilsson – Remember (Christmas) / The Lottery Song.
I knew I’d never come across this one before so I immediately snapped it up. The sleeve itself was in pretty rough condition (yes, I often clean up my scans in Photoshop to ensure I’m presenting the best possible images) but the seller was asking almost nothing for it and if you’ve been collecting for a while you learn to grab even a beat up copy of something you’ve never seen before because you never know when you might see another.
Of course it’s entirely possible there are thousands of these floating around Portugal or Angola (where it seems it was ‘edited’) but as I say, I’d not seen it before and after emailing a couple of other Nilsson collectors, they too confirmed this was new to them as well. If anyone out there has a Minty copy they’re looking to part with, I know of a good home.
