There's an original 60's Baldwin for sale in Electro Music in Donaster at the moment. Looks nice, about £1400!
I've been looking for an electric 12 string, I want an Epiphone Riviera XII but can't find one. So if anyone knows nyone/anywhere where there is one I'd be very interested!
Actually, I got equally lucky - there's some strange old geezer who plays the local hole-in-the-wall burger joint every Tuesday who I got speaking to, turns out he had a few hits back in the day (actually sounds a bit like our Richard so obviously some talent going on there) but ducked out of the biz as it was driving him to drink and drugs, or something. Anyway, he sold me his for $600! Next mission - I want his shoes, really nice and like a suede finish. They looked purple but I could be wrong (it's dark in that place).
Anyway I'm rambling, but I actually got a scan of a picture of him in his heyday that he keeps on his mantlepiece - he looked the part, you have to say that.
