HERE IS A RARELY SEEN JACKIE EDWARDS ALBUM ON IT'S EARLIEST UK MONO PRESSING ON THE HIGHLY COLLECTABLE PINK ISLAND LABEL!

 "PREMATURE GOLDEN SANDS"

AN ORIGINAL 1967 1ST UK PRESSING FEATURING BRITISH RECORDINGS MADE BY THIS JAMAICAN BORN SINGER WHO IS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS SONGS"KEEP ON RUNNING"and"SOMEBODY HELP ME"THAT WERE BOTH UK #1 HITS FOR THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP.

HE WAS A VERY VERSATILE SINGER(DIED 1992)BUT NEVER GOT THE SUCCESS HE DESERVED AS HIS ALBUMS WERE NOT BIG SELLERS-VERY HARD TO FIND OVER 40 YEARS LATER,BUT THIS WEEK I HAVE NOT ONE BUT THREE OF HIS HARDEST TO FIND 1960s ALBUMS FOR AUCTION ON EBAY!

 ISLAND PINK LABEL WITH THE"BULLSEYE"LOGO ILP 960+A1/B-1 MATRIXES- THICK VINYL UNLIKE LATER REPRESSES AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL FLIPBACK COVER.

WAY BACK IN 1967 THIS WAS OF COURSE A POOR SELLER FAILING TO MAKE THE ALBUM CHARTS.JACKIE EDWARDS WAS GENERALLY IGNORED IN THE UK AND ALMOST EVERY COPY THAT SURVIVES OF THIS HARD TO FIND ALBUM IS USUALLY IN BEATEN UP,WORN CONDITION!

THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

PUT YOUR TEARS AWAY

GIRL YOU'LL BE A WOMAN SOON

BACK STREET GIRL

JUST OUT OF REACH

COME BACK GIRL

HOW DO YOU HANG ON TO A DREAM

FUNNY FAMILIAR FORGOTTEN FEELINGS

SAN FRANCISCO

THE TIES THAT BIND

SOMEONE SOMEWHERE

TELL ME WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

TEN THOUSAND KISSES

*****************************************************************

MOST MONO COPIES SOLD NEARLY 45 YEARS AGO IN 1967 WERE PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT AND SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HAD A FEW PLAYS WITH SOME VISIBLE SURFACE MARKS,MAINLY THE COVER REMOVAL/CLEANING TYPE IN STRONG LIGHT! SOME FAINT SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE ON THE QUIETER TRACKS,BUT NOT TOO DISTRACTING AND MOST OF IT IS"LOST"IF THE TREBLE CONTOL IS ADJUSTED-I ALWAYS LISTEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY FAULTS!

NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! 

NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS!

LOVELY WARM SOUND WITH TONS OF BASS RESPONSE! CLEAN LABELS-NO SPINDLE WEAR!

A COPY THAT HAS BEEN USED,BUT STILL OBVIOUSLY CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR BY ONE OWNER SINCE 1967!

THE COVER HAS A FEW CREASES,SOME SLIGHT EDGE WEAR AND A LITTLE STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!

THIS LP ITSELF IS STRICTLY GRADED IN NEAR  EXCELLENT CONDITION,DUE TO THE VISUAL SURFACE MARKS(IN STRONG LIGHT)AND THE FAINT SURFACE NOISE ON SOME OF THE QUIETER TRACKS. MOST WOULD STATE EXCELLENT!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

 THIS IS A VERY NICE BRITISH PRESSING!

THIS ISSUE FROM 1967 HAS FAR MORE BASS AND MUCH THICKER VINYL AS WELL AS A MUCH THICKER COVER THAN LATER 1970s and 1980s REISSUES WHICH HAD WAFER THIN VINYL!

A GREAT INVESTMENT!!!

TOTALLY FLAT VINYL! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!

SUPERB  MONO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
