ATTENTION RARE 1960s LP COLLECTORS!
HERE IS A RARELY SEEN GERMAN DEMO LP IN STEREO THAT ONLY HAD A MONO ISSUE IN THE UK!
THE SPOTNICKS "THE SPOTNICKS IN SPAIN"
AN ORIGINAL 1963 GERMAN THICK VINYL POLYDOR LABEL LP#237 401 USUALLY ONLY FOUND IN MONO BUT HERE IN STEREO WITH WHITE LABELS UNLIKE THE STANDARD RED STATING"SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE"-AN ADVANCE DEMO PRESSING SENT OUT IN ADVANCE OF RELEASE TO DJs,RADIO/TV PRODUCERS OR REVIEWERS!
PLEASE SEE PHOTO #3 ONE OF THE LABELS!
I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY WERE MADE THIS WAY BUT I WOULD ESTIMATE JUST A FEW HUNDRED IF THAT AS MOST GERMAN RADIO STATIONS IN 1963 WOULD NOT PLAY POP AND OF COURSE HOW MANY STILL SURVIVE?
JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER LIKE THIS!!
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS LP AS A GERMAN DEMO ISSUE BEFORE AND THE UK EDITION HAD DIFFERENT CATALOGUE NUMBERS!
THE COVER HAS THE DATE CODE 11.63(NOVEMBER 1963-A MONTH BEFORE I WAS BORN!!)DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED!
MOST COPIES SOLD IN 1963 WERE PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT AND OF COURSE MOST GERMAN STEREO BUYERS WERE STICKING TO CLASSICAL AND JAZZ!-THIS ONE HAS BARELY BEEN -PLAYED WITH NO SURFACE MARKS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE!
NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO HISS! NO STICKS!
THE MATT SLEEVE IS IN NICE ORDER WITH ONLY A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES.
THERE ARE SIGNS OF A SMALL STICKER BEING REMOVED TAKING AWAY THE TINIEST AREA OF THE SURFACE AT THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER-PROBABLY A SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE TYPE.
NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.
NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!
THIS LP IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!
*******************************************

FROM THE COLLECTION OF A FORMER RECORD REVIEWER WHO WAS BASED IN GERMANY IN THE EARLY 1960s AND STORED HIS RECORDS AWAY FROM LIGHT AND HEAT.
