Here is a 1968 UK DEMO SINGLE PLAYED ONLY A FEW TIMES FROM MIKE PATTO's BRILLIANT GROUP with the only hit they had, a mere #38 in the charts for a totally superb and always in demand"Blue eyed soul/Power beat number"Now also regarded as a Northern soul classic! As a BIG BONUS, AN EARLY PUBLICITY POSTCARD is INCLUDED in the auction, FULLY AUTOGRAPHED BY THE BAND!!!!!!!! TOTALLY GENUINE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AS PATTO DIED TRAGICALLY YOUNG AND THE BAND WAS SHORT LIVED.THATS THE BASIC STUFF and NOW HERE'S AN IN DEPTH DESCRIPTION!! . MOST 1960s 45's were played on OLDER equipment with even OLDER styli, Nasty HEAVY PICKUPS, or on cheapo box type players that ENCOURAGED the use of an AUTOCHANGER which would SCUFF any disc in seconds. ANY DEMO COPY THAT SURVIVES IN EXCELLENT CONDITION IS A JOY TO BEHOLD AND A MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS BEAT GROUP FAN. DEMO RECORDS WERE PRESSED IN A QUANTITY OF JUST A FEW HUNDRED-IN ADVANCE FOR DJs AND THE MEDIA-MOST WERE THROWN AWAY/DAMAGED OR LOST. YOU MAY NEVER GET A CHANCE TO OWN SUCH A FANTASTIC ITEM AGAIN!!!! LOOKING AT THE DISC ITSELF IN STRONG LIGHT>>>>>>>>>>>THERE IS A FAINT SURFACE MARK ON THE "A" SIDE + ONE ON THE "B" SIDE.NONE OF THESE SOUND-HENCE EXCELLENT RATHER THAN MINT GRADE-BUT IT SOUNDS NEAR TO MINT!!!!.I DO NOT SKIM/WORK IN DUBIOUS FLUIDS OR CHEAT LIKE SOME DEALERS.WONDERFUL SHARP, CLEAN UNDEFACED LABELS -SEE BOTH PHOTOS-YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE QUALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!Housed in a clean and correct ORIGINAL COMPANY COVER. THIS IS HOW I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!! So now the ACTUAL PLAYING>>>>>>>THIS COPY HAS BEEN LISTENED TO BY MYSELF, A LONG TERM FAN and VERY FUSSY GRADER -LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK FOR PROOF!!!!! I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used-I LISTEN IN THE QUIET COMPUTER/MUSIC ROOM/HOME OFFICE Located in a QUIET CUL-DE-SAC AWAY FROM TRAFFIC NOISE/PHONES/SCREAMING BABIES etc. I LISTEN AT A DECENT VOLUME. I LISTEN AS IF I WOULD BE BUYING FOR MYSELF. I AM NOT ONE OF THESE"RIP OFF"MERCHANTS WHO SAY EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL AND SUPER RARE- I TELL IT LIKE IT IS . This was played ONLY about half a dozen times but there are NO LOUD CLICKS OR BUMPS INFACT I HARDLY HEARD ANY SURFACE NOISE AT ALL. Just the VISUAL SURFACE MARKS LOWER THE GRADE TO EXCELLENT.THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO WORRY ABOUT !!!!!!!! .I report this AS THE TRUTH. IT IS NOT A 100% PERFECT MINT SOUNDING DISC-BUT NOT FAR BEHIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!REMEMBER,THE VISUAL SURFACE MARKS RESULT IN MY EXCELLENT GRADING. DON'T RECALL SEEING THIS DEMO BEFORE!!! This disc has been selected from the collection of a FORMER BBC RADIO ONE DJ who was sent this DEMO in 1968 and has kept away from light and heat in a series of protective cardboard boxes that house about 50 singles for OVER 35 years!!!!!!!!! I WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY OTHER PERSON TO LOOK AT THIS DISC SINCE 1968!!!!!!!!!
