I'm trying to track down a UK-issued single (45) from around 1980 and I'm having no luck here in the US. The single is by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, A side is Even the Losers, B side is two live cuts (I believe Stories We Could Tell and Somethin' Else.) If anyone there is a vinyl hound, a TP and the HB's fan, or a frequent visitor to vinyl/collector shops there and happens to see a copy, I would greatly appreciate any assistance in obtaining one. I have no idea as to the rarity of it there. In relation to this forum, I believe the photo on the cover includes a Rick 620/12. Much thanks and cheers....

Roy: I moved this here as a special request thinking if anyone might be able to local the single, it would be you. I realize that it is outside the focus of Clough Links and I will delete the thread in the near future.

Peter-
If a forum member (me) would like assistance in finding a (probable) UK only piece of vinyl, where should we post it? Or should we not use the forum for this?

Other than the official Rick site, this is the only forum I visit, so I have no idea of other (friendly) forums that reach our UK pals.

Jery: For now, and with Roy's indulgence, why not pose your question on this thread as well.

I will rethink a future spot for such requests. I want to be very sure that the character of Clough Links remains as it is. I very much appreciate your sensitivity to this.

I understand your position Peter and I respect it.
Thank you, I'll try different avenues.

Love this forum!

Jerry contact me direct if I can help I will.

In answer to Glenn are you certain this release you mention exists, I can find no record in reference books I use, does not mean it doesn't but The Great Rock Discography is fairly helpful massive book and Petty releases are listed UK and us but not this releases you mention

Hi Roy, absolutely sure. Firstly, I checked with the folks on the official Tom Petty website here and they informed me that the song was not a single here but it was released as one in the UK (or perhaps a 3 song EP. Not sure how they classified it, an EP or single. It was a 7-inch though.) Plus they said there's a small picture of its picture sleeve inside the "Playback" (Tom Petty) box set. Seems to me the two live cuts were advertised either on the record and/or sleeve as being recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon show during the Damn the Torpedoes tour in 79 or '80. I remember at that time that show was broadcast on the radio here. Lastly, a friend of mine back in the day, in the Chicago area, had it (how he got it I don't know but our record story did carry imports back then..all LPs though, but this could be the exception.) I just sent a note off to him asking if he still has it.

Wow, Roy, there's a lot here. So much I have not found it yet...I'm scanning the singles....

studiotwosession · Post by **studiotwosession** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 10:33 am

I do see "something' Else" and "Stories We Can Tell" were also released by themselves as a promo release (as I think they also were here) but I'm looking for the one with the studio A side and picture sleeve.

studiotwosession · Post by **studiotwosession** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 10:35 am

Okay, I see it now. It doesn't say anything about a "picture sleeve" but it does mention "inner and outer..."

Hmmm....

studiotwosession · Post by **studiotwosession** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 10:41 am

Now I see it. I think I'll take this one. Many thanks, Roy. This is awesome! -Glenn

Nobody beats a Yorkshireman when it comes to finding a good value.

Let Roy search some more Glenn and you can probably get it for free!

Great work Roy.
