**philter2** · February 16th, 2004, 08:28 PM

I am searching for the Telephone Operator Version Bobby Viteritti played in the 1983 Trocadero Set.

So i bought:

Telephone Operator/Many a time (Extended)/Many a Time (Dub) [genetic 12xx1]

and

No one like You/if you ask me/ no one like you if you ask me (dub) [genetic 12xs2]

no success yet.
where can i find the set version on cd ???
i read on the net that the cd versions title on the xl1 album is:
'If You Ask Me / No One Like You'.

but where can i find the vinyl with this track

Re the Arista 12" of Pete Shelley's "Telephone Operator";the A-side has a short version of
"TO" and "Many A Time"

the B-side is titled "Many A Telephone Operator" (12:42) --this is an extended dub with some vocal.

The title is "Many A Telephone Operator" like Marky said on the B side of that 12''. The release code really isnt needed to find it. Just look for the 12'' with that on the B side..thats what i'll be doin

philter2,

Calm down!!!! Jeez, don't get your panties in a bunch!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

The release # is CP 730 (Arista/1983)

I guess that's what BV was playing---unfortunately, I didn't have a camera on his turntable.

LOL Marky :lol: WOulda been cool to have a camera on his turntable...sounded like he did a bit of scratching before scratching when he goes into it from The Quick track
