Hi Jcr! Well I never knew there was a Bitter Green single at all. Let alone a different version. If I find one I'll let you know.
It reminds me of early this year when I found a U.S. "The Way I Feel" D.J. promo single from 1966! I'm sure there's a copy out there somewhere,just keep checking oldies stores.
As for CD's,I know for a fact they came out in 1982 but most people didn't notice because they still thought of vinyl as the main source of recording. Cassettes were only about 4 or 5 years old at the time and singles on cassette were just about to make their debut also.
I didn't buy my 1st CD until 2000,when I finally got a stereo with a player. Then,of course,I've always been a little behind when it comes to technology. I just got a home PC this year!
Been me. Later!
