    Wink The Stereos - A mystery 60s record found in the UK - can anyone help with this one?



    Hi - I'm a first time poster

    I found this record in a charity shop in Kent. It's by the Stereos and is called Rail Twist. It's a Rhodesian record that seems to have been made to promote Rhodesia's railways, as the B side is basically an advert for their services. The A-side however, is a great twangy instrumental, very much in the style of the Tornados or the Shadows

    I did find some info on the band here:

    I can find nothing about the record though. Any idea of value or how collectable it is?

    Thanks
    Brad

    Interesting find!

    I've no idea how much it is worth, but would imagine its pretty scarce, especially in good condition.

    One sold on ebay last year for £0.99

    Super item, quick delivery thanks AAAAAAAAAA++++++++++

    it's OK to head out for wonderful, but on your way to wonderful, you're gonna have to pass through all right. When you get to all right,
    take a good look around and get used to it, because that may be as far as you're gonna go.

    I love sites like that. Spent a good hour this morning just idly leafing through the alphabet of Rhodesian bands. Some great photos and stories.
    Sorry I can't help with the record though.

    Ebay it with a clear soundclip, use Tornados / Shadows in your description and add MEEK to greatly increase the number of views.
