Description
THE DRONES......BE MY BABY b/w THE CLIQUE VERY RARE 7" BLACK VINYL SINGLE ON VALER RECORDS CAT. NO. VRS 5.
VERY RARE AND LIMITED EDITION RELEASE OF ONLY 200. THE STORY GOES THESE 200 SINGLES WERE PRESSED IN 1977 TO BE THE DRONES THIRD SINGLE RELEASE. THE SONG 'BE MY BABY' WAS CREDITED TO THE BAND BY MISTAKE. BEFORE THE SINGLES COULD BE REPRESSED WITH THE CORRECT SONG CREDITS, VALER RECORDS, THE BANDS MANCHESTER LABEL, WENT BANKRUPT. THESE UNRELEASED 200 SINGLES APPARENTLY LAY IN SINGER M.J. DRONES ATTIC FOR 19 YEARS BEFORE COMING ONTO THE MARKET IN THE LATE 1990'S.
TRACKS AS FOLLOWS:
SIDE A:
BE MY BABY
(DIFFERENT VERSION TO THE 'FURTHER TEMPTATIONS' LP VERSION AND THE 12" WHITE LABEL PROMO VERSION SENT OUT TO DJ'S AT THE TIME).
SIDE AA:
THE CLIQUE
THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT, PORBABLY MORE LIKE NEAR MINT CONDITION. BOUGHT NEW FROM A REPUTABLE UK DEALER A FEW YEARS AFTER FINALLY SURFACING ONTO THE MARKET AND PLAYED ONLY ONCE SINCE. THE PAPER LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN AND FREE OF MARKS. THERE ARE A FEW VERY FAINT SURFACE HAIRLINE MARKS WHICH WERE THERE WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THESE ARE COSMETIC AND DO NOT AFFECT THE PLAY. NO JUMPS, NO STICKS, NO CLICKS.
COMES IN A STANDARD DIE CUT PAPER SLEEVE AS RELEASED AND WITH A PHOTOCOPIED INSERT FULLY SIGNED BY ALL THE BAND MEMBERS. THIS INSERT IS IN MINT CONDITION AND WAS ISSUED WITH ALL THE 200 COPIES.
AS A COLLECTOR MYSELF I HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED AFTER MY RECORDS, CASSETTES, CD'S AND OTHER MEMORABILIA AND STORED THEM PROPERLY. I TRY TO BE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE IN MY DESCRIPTION, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE. PACKAGING WILL CARDBOARD ENVELOPE WITH STIFFENERS.
