Description

ELTON DUCK

Christmas  (7" FLEXI DISC)


Flexi Disc condition: M-
Plays perfectly. Not a single pop or audible surface noise. Archival condition.
Flexi has only a few small dents/bends from general handling. No scratches. Mint.

Sleeve condition: VG
Sleeve is stapled together, and appears to be xeroxed. Not sure if this was the original design.
Sleeve has slight bending on both sides.



This extremely rare single-sided flexidisc is the only existing original example of the legendary Los Angeles power-pop / new wave group Elton Duck.  The group often performed at such venues as Madame Wong’s, the Troubadour and Club 88 where they were the unofficial house band playing power-pop rock and new wave music eventually opening for such acts as The Knack and The Motels.
 
As the 1980s opened, Elton Duck was signed to the Arista label and re-christened The Decoys. They stepped into the studio with ex-Sparks guitarist Earle Mankey, producer and engineer of records by assorted acts such as the Dickies, 20/20, Elton John, The Beach Boys and Concrete Blonde.

Unfortunately, Arista execs shelved the album, and until only recently did it reappear some 30 years later as a CD from the surviving members.

The flexi-disc featured in this auction is the only single EVER officially released from the group prior to their disband. Very much sought-after among punk and new wave collectors and RARELY seen for sale.

It could be years before another copy surfaces for sale in such SUPERB condition...

FINDERS KEEPERS - LOSERS WEEPERS!

Good luck!!!
