Description
PAUL S HOBBS "HAVING SAID THAT"
"DEROY" SOUND SERVICE, CARNFORTH
Matrix numbers ADM LP 759 A and ADM LP 759 B
Undated, believed to be 1972
This is a copy of the very scarce private pressing of Paul Hobbs' first (only?) highly-rated album. It was recorded by the highly collectable "Deroy" Sound Services custom pressing company, owned by Derrick Marsh, at High Bank Studios, Carnforth, Lancs. It was produced in a very small run of, we think, a maximum of 12 copies, possibly fewer. We are only aware of one copy being sold previously on eBay. A sample of the music (not from this copy) has been posted on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wxuonVXnco
The sleeve appears to be individually screen printed - it differs very slightly from images we have seen of another copy - and the design is raised to the touch. This copy does not have the blue printed transparent overlay mentioned elsewhere, neither is there any clear evidence of such an overlay having been removed (certainly no staple marks). The inner sleeve appears to generic, but of the period. See description for details of minor defects to the sleeve.
The disc is visually in excellent condition - it has been played once and has some very minor surface crackling in places which does not detract at all from the music, probably characteristic of such recordings. No visible scratches.
Please ask for any additional information or photos.
Record will be securely packed in strong cardboard envelopes with additional card stiffeners. Please note that for items of this value and for any items going outside the UK we only use a signed-for postal service. All sale proceeds go directly to Oxfam.
