No, this thread isn't a homage to Cope, just to say that someone recently lent me a 12" on green vinyl of Green Shirt. Just wondering if it's at all rare, and if it's the only coloured vinyl, or 12" at lease, that Elv put out.
Bizarre item. © 1985 on F-Beat. Totally pointless and barely longer 'extended mix' of GS done by Colin Fairley on one side, and regular GS + Beyond Belief on t'other.
What possessed him/thim? What was the point, 6 years after GS was first out?
12 coloured inches

Re: 12 coloured inches
I too have a copy of this atrocity. As Dr. J writes, it was put out as a single from the Telstar best of,Otis Westinghouse wrote:No, this thread isn't a homage to Cope, just to say that someone recently lent me a 12" on green vinyl of Green Shirt.

that came out in 1985. Probably the worst EC remix, the best being Jellybean Benitz remix of EIWTB, which bizarrely is not on the recent singles collection, probably because it was never given a UK release. Now that 12 inch is worth having.

As far as I know it is the only coloured vinyl commercial record Elvis has put out. He did have a promo 7" red vinyl of My Funny Valentine which was mainly given out at a Valentine's show in (I think) 1979.
I think all of the EC remixes are pretty pointless and, I have to say, dull. As most 12" mixes were, in the 1980s, for dancefloors, EC&TA remixes didn't really fit the bill and I daresay were never played in nightclubs.
Who can safely say that they put these remixes regularly on their turntable? I bought them (because you just do), listened to them a few times and then that was it.

Who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo?
