Over the past few years I've receieved a lot of messages asking if there are any more copies of my album Smoovies available on vinyl. The 250 copies originally pressed (Discogs says 300, but I'm pretty sure it's 250) have been out of print for years, and due to circumstances beyond my control it will never be repressed.

This week marks 5 years since Smoovies was released, and to mark the occasion I’m auctioning one of my copies of the orange vinyl for (https://orchid-cancer.org.uk) - a small charity with a focus on research into male cancers. I've chosen to donate to Orchid because 4 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare type of testicular cancer which can be difficult to treat, so it would mean a lot to be able to contribute to improving treatment.
This is one of my own personal copies and it is brand new, unplayed and still in its shrink wrapping. A few of you have asked if I can sign it if they win, which I'm happy to do but please bear in mind that I can't read my own handrwiting (and I'd have to remove it from the shrink wrapping).

I’ve seen a copy sold on Discogs earlier this year for £100 and there’s another currently sat on eBay for €250, so anywhere near that would be great!
The auction will be live for 10 days, finishing on Sunday 18th July at 21:00 BST.
