Default Large centre hole single puzzle

Hello all

I know why you often find UK singles with large centre holes - they've been 'dinked' for jukeboxes. I also know that many US singles and also Jamaican ones were sold that way from new.

So far so good.

But I've come across something I can't explain.

In my quest to collect singles by the Bonzo Dog Band I've found that every listing I've found for 'Im the urban Spaceman' on the original UK Liberty label are large centre hole copies. I can't believe it was such a popular jukebox single that all copies in circulation are dinked. Surely there should be a decent supply of intact copies as it was a hit.

So, were any UK singles sold from new with the large centre hole? If so would this be one, or is there something very coincidental going on?

Martin
