From Doug: "My bad. It's Jack W****** that's selling the bass and it's really the one I played. Bill is helping him sell it and he hadn't contacted me yet because, of course, he knew if he asked I'd say yes. Emailed with Bill again. If you can put another post up saying you spoke to me and I said it's cool, I was just not up to speed, that would help Jack a lot. Thanks, Doug."

There you have it. All apologies to the original poster, and please don't call me Doug's lawyerhttp://www.velvetforum.com/posting.php?mode=reply&f=1&t=3441#

Does anyone have a scan of the rare UK version of Loaded with the green smoke? I've never seen it. Is the back cover the same as the US one?

It is actually from Holland and yes back is about the same as any other Loaded issue.

FWIW the "value" of this LP went through the roof after an article in "Record Collector" put a ?100 price on it a few years ago.
