Doug Parkinson In Focus Rare OZ Test Press 45 Dear Prudence VG ’69 Psyche

Rare OZ test pressing 45” released in 1968 on EMI Records. Cat: 7MA. 4860/ 7XCT.3392. Comes in EMI printed paper sleeve.
In early 1969, a friend of Doug's in the UK sent him an advance copy of The Beatles' stunning new self-titled double album (now universally known as The White Album). They were smitten and immediately recorded a superb cover of the classic John Lennon song "Dear Prudence". Doug sent the tape to Festival, hoping to have it released as the next single but, incredibly, Festival turned it down. Stunned, Doug took the recording to EMI, who loved it. A record deal was signed, and the single was released on Columbia in May 1969. It shot up the charts all over the country, earning rave reviews; it peaked at #5 in the Go-Set national singles chart in early August and stayed on the chart for a solid four months, becoming the biggest hit of Doug's career. It was a brilliant showcase for Doug, enabling him to display both his power and subtlety, and it also highlighted the tight, funky cohesion of his band.

Tracks : Dear Prudence/ This must be the end.   There are a few light spindle marks on labels. Record has some light scuff marks and a few very light scratches, record actaully looks really nice but unfortunately is quite crackly so have graded at VG.

Wrapping method: All records are sent in stiff cardboard mailers then wrapped in brown paper and sealed around edges with brown packaging tape. Records are taken out of sleeve to avoid seam splits and ring wear.

Post methods within Australia: All records are posted via Australia Post. Within Australia all items come with a tracking number.

Post method for overseas: All parcels are sent via Australia Post standard airrmail with tracking number.
