Description
What's on offer?: Almost without the need for introduction, here we have a SIMPLY FANTASTIC and hugely in demand Mod Freakbeat Psych Monster - especially as an ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING and in STUNNING MINT MINUS, PLAYED ONCE condition!!
Artist: THE BIRDS
(Ronnie Wood, The Rolling Stones, The Faces, The Creation)
A-side: “LEAVING HERE”
B-side: “NEXT IN LINE”
Label: Decca F 12140 (UK Original)
When did you last see one of these offered for sale and, importantly, when are you likely to see one again???!!!
This is perhaps the most 'classic' of the Birds' 45s, quite simply an essential item for collectors of Mod, Freakbeat and Pyschedelia around the World and is on so many Wants Lists it's incredible!
Forget all the cheap bootleg repros (made without push-out centres) that are doing the rounds, as you'll see from the photo this is guaranteed to be the ORIGINAL 1965 UK 1st Pressing. Any fan of The Birds, Ronnie Wood, The Rolling Stones, the Mod Freakbeat Psych sound or 60s music in general, will simply have to have this in their collection!!!!
Grade (labels): The classic dark blue labels are in STUNNING condition with no discolouration and clear silver print. There is, of course, NO unwanted handwriting, NO wear and just one extremely feint spindle mark on the A-side label.
Grade (vinyl): Most of these singles had been played on a heavy stylus and so are usually found totally worn out, almost unplayable. However, this record - complete with an original company bag - is strictly graded at MINT MINUS and is certainly believed to have been played just the once!!!! There are two tiny surfaces lines at the start of the A-side (from sliding the record in the cover?) and these are all that prevents a grade of absolutre mint.
Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT Record Collector grading standards - it's simply not in my interest to do otherwise!!!! Brilliant!!!!
Why buy?: THIS IS SUCH A BRILLIANT AND PAINFULLY RARE SINGLE. IT’S REALLY HARD TO FIND A GENUINE COPY IN ANY CONDITION, LET ALONE STUNNING MINT MINUS!!!! SO, DON'T MISS OUT!!!! THIS WILL SURELY BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1965 DECCA UK 1ST PRESSING OF "LEAVING HERE" BY THE BIRDS IN STUNNING MINT MINUS CONDITION!!!! Use the 'Buy It Now' facility (if it's still available) before somebody else beats you to it!!!
