Hi outthere ! - and Hi in Switzerland ! Apperantly "hitparade.ch" offers the Decca 6103 066 7" single, Sympathy for the devil / Prodigal son for download.
It´s the Radio Veronika edit.
But you have to be a Swiss resident to be a customer.
Don´t know if this site is legal, - and I´m a lousy pirate-downloader !
- So, - could anyone, - living in Switzerland help me !
It will be much appreciated !
Please contact me here, or better, - direct on my mail henrikbb@live.dk -
and we can find out how to do it !
A great day to all of you !

What does boat version mean? Are there sounds of seagulls on it? Submarine noises? Sounds interesting.

Boat people - not all boat people qualify as pirates?

is that it?

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

...It´s the Radio Veronika edit.

Radio Veronica broadcasted from a boat in international waters.

Great laugh ! and one more bottle of rum !
The "boat-version" because the cover is the drawing of a ship, with the R.S.-members faces inserted in the portholes.
It´s a very short edit of Sympathy . . . released on 7" by dutch Decca in 1973.
- and one of the last official releases, I miss in my collection.
Now I´ll put my parrot on the shoulder, and let Jolly Roger swing in the wind,
- Ho Ho !

I've got this on vinyl, but have never even listened to it...now I need to find it!

They broadcast from a boat?

Some people have all the luck...

Lucky you ! It's quite a little speciality, - even if it is only on "freak-level". Would be GREAT if you were willing to make me a CDR-copy - ? I might have something that can be of interrest for you - ?

Radio Veronica was an offshore radio station that began broadcasting in 1960
Radio Caroline was another great Pirate Radio station in the Sixties
Thanks to Radio Luxembourg and the Pirate Radio Station I was able to listen to Rock & Roll!
