Description
I am in the process of selling some of the best pieces from my collection. Having worked in the record industry since the 1960s, as a teenage plugger for Decca in the mid-60s I witnessed the birth of many of these 45s, and received the earliest copies of them. Many are promos, and there are demos and acetates aplenty. Bands represented include the Beatles, the Stones, Bowie and others, as well as legendary psychedelic one-offs.
ARTIST
Cat Stevens
TITLE
I Love My Dog
LABEL
Decca (amended to Deram - see picture)
DATE
14th September 1966
DETAILS
Here's a tremendously rare copy of Cat's debut 45, originally intended to appear on Decca before Deram was launched, when he was redirected.
CONDITION
An almost unbelievable NM - shiny, glossy and almost certainly never played!
COMMENTS
'I first knew Cat as Steve. He used to hang out in the Decca office around the time we launched Deram. His parents used to own a Greek restaurant in Soho and I remember going there for many enjoyable evenings - lovely people.'
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A GUARANTEED UK ORIGINAL PRESSING AND NOT A COUNTERFEIT.
PAYMENT
PAYPAL IS PREFERRED BUT UK CASH AND CHEQUES ARE ALSO WELCOME.
GOOD LUCK - AND REMEMBER: IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, WE CAN WORK IT OUT... THE BIDDER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!
