Description

THE FLIES STEPPING STONE ORIG DECCA UK ACETATE

POSSIBLY UNIQUE - SUPER RARE ACETATE – FREAKBEAT ANTHEM!

THE FLIES - STEPPING STONE

ORIGINAL 1966 DECCA (UK) SINGLE SIDED 7inch ‘DECCA GROUP ADVANCED TEST RECORDING’ ACETATE

MASSIVE FREAKBEAT ANTHEM AND THIS IS CERTAINLY THE RAREST FORMAT IT COMES IN ANA MAY POSSIBLY BE THE ONLY SURVIVING ACETATE (ASSUMING THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE). A SUPERB CENTRE PIECE FOR YOUR FREAKBEAT COLLECTION!!

AS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE SCAN OF THE LABEL THIS ACETATE WAS CUT ON 25TH NOVEMBER 1966, APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS BEFORE THE SONGS SCHEDULED RELEASE ON 16TH DECEMBER 1966 ON DECCA F12533

UNDER VERY STRONG DIRECT LIGHT THE VINYL A FEW FINE MARKS (FROM A PREVIOUS OWNER I GUESS AS I HAVE ONLY PLAYED IT A HANDFUL OF TIMES IN THE DECADES I HAVE OWNED IT). THE SURFACE STILL HAS A REASONABLE LEVEL OF SHEEN ON IT AND OVERALL A FAIRLY ACETATE NOT A TRASHED REMNANT AS SO MANY OF THE CETATES THAT SURFACE ARE!

OVERALL I GRADE IT VG (HYPER CRITICAL GRADING) ALTHOUGH BASED ON RECORDS I HAVE BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF OTHER SELLERS MAY WELL GRADE IT HIGHER.

OVERALL THE DISC PLAYS VERY WELL INDEED WITH NEGLIGABLE SURFACE NOISE AND UNLESS MY EARS DECEIVE ME A STRONGER BRIGHTER SOUND THAN THE ACTUAL DECCA 45

CERTAINLY VERY RARE AND POSSIBLY UNIQUE CENTRE PIECE FOR YOUR FREAKBEAT COLLECTION. IN ALL LIKELIHOOD MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY AND YOU WILL NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO OWN THIS KILLER ON ITS RAREST FORMAT EVER AGAIN!!
