Underrated early 60's British pop and beat singer who never made it big in the UK but was big in Germany and has since become a bit of a cult figure.

The record has been played a number of times but the vinyl is in overall excellent condition - flat, no scratches, no warping whatsoever, and the original sheen is still very much intact, with just a couple of superficial scuffs and surface only hairlines. The labels are also excellent with no writing or surface blemishes, and just a few light spindle trails on each side adjacent to the centre hole. The quality of the audio is also excellent: just some minor, background crackle most noticeable at the beginning of each track.

Comes in original Columbia outer sleeve, which is still fully functional despite some inevitable creasing towards the corners and a little age discolouration on the reverse.

A nice copy of a rare, underrated UK early 60's single by an underrated 60's songstress!

 A bit about myself - I have been collecting vinyl for over 45 years and have amassed a huge and diverse record collection. I am now selling a number of my cherished records in order to help fund my forthcoming retirement and to help optimise space. Take a look at my other ebay items - many of the records that I am selling are highly sought after by serious collectors. You should also be aware of my 100% feedback status and can be rest assured that in the unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason then just contact me and I will do a full refund without quibble. Enjoy your purchase - Richard

My record grading adheres to the “Record Collector” guide, which has established a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records. These indicate the amount of wear and tear the disc, sleeve, and other items (such as lyric inserts) have been subject to and the condition that they are in at present. The seven standard condition categories, and descriptions of what each one means, are listed below:

Mint

The records itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items, such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and /or creasing.

Very Good

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

Fair

The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents are torn, stained and/or defaced

Poor

The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents are badly damaged or partly missing.

Bad

The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
