HERE IS A RARELY SEEN ORIGINAL 1964 MONO LP:

THE ANDREW OLDHAM ORCHESTRA:

"MAGGIE MAY".

DECCA LK 4636

+THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1K/1K MATRIXES!

Apart from the short opening track that has a vocal(possibly Andrew himself!)the LP includes excellent instrumental versions of the Lionel Bart show tunes,many tracks having fuzz or deep bass guitar-possibly Jimmy Page,Big Jim Sullivan or even POSSIBLY Bill Wyman as Andrew Oldham was the Stones manager and Producer.John Paul Jones is one of the arranger/conductors-alongside Harry Robinson(ex-lord rockingham) and Mike Leander(arranger for the Beatles track She's leaving home).

Influenced no doubt by his friend and hero,Phil Spector and also similar to Jack Nitzsche orchestration-the genius arranger that Spector used for most of his greatest work.

Good solid sound! Typical British Production! Fab!

This album had minimal exposure,poor sales and as such was deleted within a few months of issue.

PLEASE NOTE VERY CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING! HERE IS A "GAP FILLER BUT PLAYABLE"STANDARD EXAMPLE OF A VERY SOUGHT AFTER ROLLING STONES RELATED MONO 1ST PRESSING OF BEAT GROUP STYLED INSTRUMENTALS LP WHICH IS BELOW MY NORMAL CONDITIONS BUT IS IDEAL AS A"BETTER THAN NOTHING"OR MIX AND MATCH DEAL ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A COPY WITH A POOR COVER OR A COLLECTOR ON A BUDGET OR HAVE A FAIRLY OLD PLAYER WHERE SUCH LPs OFTEN SOUND FANTASTIC BUT EVEN ON MY BETTER THAN AVERAGE DECK THE SOUND WAS VERY ACCEPTABLE!

THE ALBUM HAS THE UNBOXED DECCA LOGOS,THE "GROOVED"LABELS-LATER ONES WERE SMOOTH.

NOW AS YOU WOULD EXPECT,RUNNING ONE OF THE BUSIEST AND LONGEST ESTABLISHED COLLECTORS RECORD SHOPS IN NORWICH,I GET OFFERED MANY COLLECTIONS AND FROM TIME TO TIME,I BUY IN LOW GRADE COPIES OF RARE AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER RECORDS ON THE BASIS THAT THEY MAY BE USEFUL TO SOMEONE WHO NEEDS TO IMPROVE A COVER OR WILL ACCEPT A LESS THAN WONDERFUL RECORD AT A LOW PRICE!

IMMACULATE MONO EDITIONS CAN SELL FOR £40+ AND AS SUCH THIS LOW START OF £8 HAS TO BE A BARGAIN START,EVEN IN THIS CONDITION!

NOW PLEASE NOTE THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN WELL CARED FOR WITH MANY MARKS AND LIGHT SCUFFS BUT PLAYS GREAT DESPITE A FEW CLICKS ON TWO TRACKS AND THESE ARE INTERMITTANT,MOST NOT LASTING FOR LONG OR VERY OBTRUSIVE-COVERED UP IN THE MAIN BY THE LOUD CUT DEEP BASS SOUND! NO STICKS! NO JUMPS! THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE,ALTHOUGH ON MOST OF THE TRACKS THERE IS HARDLY ANY AT ALL WITH DECENT SOUND-HOWEVER THIS SHOULD NOT BE PLAYED USING AN EXPENSIVE OR NEW STYLI!

I PERSONALLY KEEP A PARTLY USED STYLI FOR SUCH RECORDS AND WOULD SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME FOR SUCH RECORDS!

TO THROW THIS RARE LP OUT WOULD BE A SHAME WHEN IT JUST MIGHT MAKE SOMEONE VERY HAPPY AND OF COURSE FRAMED UP WOULD BE A NICE IDEA! HERE IS SUCH AN OPPPORTUNITY!

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS SOME STAINING,CREASES AND EDGE WEAR BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! ORIGINAL HANDLE WITH CARE INNER SLEEVE INCLUDED!

I HAVE PLENTY MORE RARE AND SEMI RARE LPs"BEHIND THE COUNTER"IN SIMILAR SHAPE AND WILL PUT A FEW ON FROM TIME TO TIME!
