Not sure how rare this really is, any collectors on here might be interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/GO-BETWEENS-on-Postcard-I-NEED-TWO-HEADS-7_W0QQitemZ19001495 3824QQihZ009QQcategoryZ306QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

It seems to pop up fairly regularly - I'd be curious as to how many were pressed up. Do any Postcard share holders frequent this board? |

There were two 'releases' of 'I need two heads' on postcard. Both came in the generic postcard sleeve but the first issue came in a white postcard sleeve and a yellow label while the second came in the more common brown postcard sleeve with brown label. I don't really understand how there were two releases, as the single was apparently a very slow seller at the time - the poorest selling postcard single according to Alan Horne quoted in some book or other. I remember asking Grant and Robert to sign my copy in 1989 and Grant expressed, or who knows feigned surprise at a white and yellow copy turning up in Ireland and explained the above to me! These were pre ebay days of course! |

I'd love to know how many copies were pressed from each Postcard release. I wonder if Porky's was the sole pressing house for the entire catalogue? Anyone know? |

after grant's passing i entered the shopwebsite to buy the live in london cd which i unfortuantely didn't bought at their OA tour. i checked the whole site and wondered that the 'two heads' single is still available. i ever thought those postcard stuff is rare (by the way: i bought it around 1983 or 1984). the same with cattle and cane and hammer the hammer (which i bought at the same time as 'two heads'). really didn't thought that those singles are still available. |

the reason for the postcard different colour presings was beacause the printer ran out of ink/stock whilst pressing up rather than any marketing strategy, two pressing sprobably because the original quantity was never delivered etc etc |
