VERY THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER REISSUE pressings from a few years later-This ESSENTIAL  LP pressed within the first few WEEKS of issue from 1964 when British beat was at it's best!

THIS BAND ARE ON TOP FORM INCLUDING A VERY YOUNG ERIC CLAPTON-NO WONDER COLLECTORS ARE KEEN TO GET THEM-ESPECIALLY SUCH A GREAT 10 TRACK R&B STORMER AS THIS!

AN INCREDIBLE LP THAT STILL SOUNDS EXCITING 45 YEARS ON! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN VERY NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MINOR SURFACE MARKS AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT THAT IS BEING STRICT!

NO STICKS!/NO NASTY CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO JUMPS!/NO DISTORTION. 

Copies of this album BARELY sold in 1964(BEFORE ANY HIT SINGLES) so how many were preserved like this one 45 years later??- THE SOUND IS FABULOUS!!!!!!

 In those early days with LIMITED exposure on Radio and TV, POP/BEAT LPs were carefully considered and saved for items,many beat fans not able to afford such a luxury as a regular item.

The Mono mixes are brilliant and full of bass.  

Those that bought beat LPs were usually using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds.

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear THE BEAT SCENE MUSIC OF 1964 and always will be!  

GREAT SOLID SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is a little spindle wear. I DO NOT "INK IN"LIKE SOME DEALERS DO!! 

The surface marks are MINIMAL AND NO DEEP SCRATCHES!

There is A LITTLE surface crackle, but it is MINIMAL-the odd"spit"type surface noise between tracks.

CLEAN UNDEFACED LABELS.

THE PRINT IS STILL CLEAR TO READ.

THE COVER HAS  SOME SLIGHT STAINING.

SOME MINOR EDGE CREASES.

NO WRITING!! NO REPAIRS!! 

EMITEX INNER SLEEVE INCLUDED!

Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN A VERY STRONG,NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "NEAR EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

AN OUTER PVC COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED.

THE LP ITSELF AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic  £40 STARTING price with no annoying reserve.MINT COPIES NEVER TURN UP BUT IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD PROBABLY FETCH AT LEAST £150!!!! BUY IT NOW OFFERS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!
