Description

SHOCKING BLUE - BEAT WITH US.

MEGA RARE POLYDOR SPECIAL RELEASE IN LAMINATED FLIP-BACK SLEEVE.

CAT NO: 236 173

I CANNOT REMEMBER EVER COMING ACROSS ANOTHER COPY LIKE THE ONE FOR SALE HERE. THIS OF COURSE IS THE PRE "MARISKA VERES" VERSION OF SHOCKING BLUE.

I REMEMBER READING SOMEWHERE THAT THE ORIGINAL MALE VOCALIST WHO I THINK WAS CALLED "BILLY DE WILDE" HAD TO LEAVE IN ORDER TO DO SOME ARMY SERVICE FOR HIS COUNTRY, THUS PAVING THE WAY FOR THE SULTRY MARISKA VERES. THE REST AS THEY SAY IS HISTORY.

THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN THIS VERSION AND THE KARUSSELL RELEASE IS THAT THERE ARE MORE TRACKS ON THIS ONE AND IT ALSO HAS A LAMINATED FLIP-BACK SLEEVE SHOWING A DIFFRENT PICTURE TO THE REVERSE.

SIDE ONE: LOVE IS IN THE AIR, OOH WEE THERE'S MUSIC IN ME, WHAT YOU GONNA DO, WHISKY DON'T WASH MY BRAINS, LITTLE MAGGIE, JAIL MY SECOND HOME, WHAT'S WRONG BERTHA, LEAGUE OF ANGELS

SIDE TWO: ROCKIN' PNEUMONIA AND THE BOOGIE WOOGIE FLU, THAT'S ALLRIGHT, CRAZY DRUNKEN MAN DREAMS, BEGGARMAN, HOLD ME, HUG ME, ROCK ME, WHERE MY BABY'S GONE.

THE COVER SHOWS A SMALL AMOUNT OF DISCOULORATION AND WEAR TO THE REVERSE, OTHER THAN THAT IT STILL LOOKS GREAT, THE LABELS ARE BOTH EXCELLENT, THE VINYL SHOWS PAPER SCUFFS BUT IS STILL A NICE THICK SHINY PRESSING GIVING OUSTANDING AUDIO PLAY-BACK.

THIS IS ONE FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR.

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE HARD TO FIND VINYL.

UK RESIDENTS CAN PAY USING PAY-PAL, CHEQUE OR POSTAL ORDER.

OVERSEAS PAYMENT BY PAY-PAL ONLY. THANKS.

THANKS FOR LOOKING.
