Hey all, Got an odd one for you; I've never seen nor heard of it, and I'm hoping that some of my DD peers can hook a brotha up! I've got this crazy 12" single that I can't make heads nor tails of. All of the usual resources (discogs, ionpool, etc) have failed. The inner sleeve states "Jimmy Christopher, KNAC, Long Beach. Duran Duran "Hold Back the Rain" from P. Berrow". If you know your Duran, you know who P. Berrow is. ***NOTE***: this is a mispress. The matrix number in the deadwax is 12 EMI 5327 B-1-1-1, which corresponds to Save a Prayer...but the song on the record is "Hold Back the Rain". Any ideas about this single? Worth something, a lot, nothing? Should I toss it in the dumpster? (as if...lmfao). Talk to me, my friends...ever heard of this and what's it's value? -scott thanks in advance!!!

hi, i guess it's a testpressing of the b-side only. i think it's worth a lot, however i wouldn't dare to put a price tag on it. what is the track length?
but.... a 1-sided testpressing of Hold Back The Rain does excist as well: 1982 UK EMI; EMI5327 B-2-1-1-1 rare 1-sided test pressing in white custom sleeve 3:58 Hold Back The Rain (7" remix)
great item in your collection!
best regards, Peter

Thanks for the heads-up, Peter! Can you please provide the source of that information? Sounds really cool! Is it from eil or something like that?

well, go to www.duranduran.esnavigate to 'duran duran', then album 'rio', then click on '7 inches', then select 'save a prayer' and scroll down to the bottom... it's a great site! great to use besides the discography of Tom. best regards, Peter

Just curious... Why did you cancel your auction at eBay?
Best regards, Peter
