Description
ATTENTION TAMLA MOTOWN AND RARE FRENCH E.P. COLLECTORS!!!!
A REALLY EXCITING ITEM UNIQUE TO FRANCE!!!
NEVER ISSUED IN THE UK OR USA AS AN E.P.!
AN ORIGINAL 1966 FRENCH E.P. FEATURING THE MIRACLES. CAT. NUMBER=TMEF 540 PRESSED UP BY PATHE MARCONI BUT WITH THE FAMOUS TAMLA MOTOWN LOGO ON A WONDERFUL RED LABEL!!!
ONE THING THE FRENCH DID GET RIGHT IN THE 1960s,WAS THE ATTENTION DEVOTED TO THE CREATION OF MANY WONDERFUL EPs THAT IN SO MANY CASES,LIKE THIS ONE WERE UNIQUE TO FRANCE AND NOT ISSUED IN THE UK AND INDEED POSSIBLY IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY!
THIS EP DOES CONTAINS FOUR OF THE GROUP'S BEST TRACKS+ THE BONUS OF A STUNNING PICTURE COVER.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS ITEM BEFORE AND AS THE FRENCH INTEREST IN TAMLA MOTOWN WAS LIMITED COMPARED TO HOMEGROWN ARTISTS SUCH AS THE TRULY DREADFUL JOHNNY HALLIDAY,IT IS QUITE PROBABLE THAT THIS MIRACLES E.P. WAS NOT IN PRINT FOR LONG!
THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
(COME 'ROUND HERE)I'M THE ONE YOU NEED
SAVE ME
WHOLE LOT OF SHAKIN' IN MY HEART
ALL THAT'S GOOD
*********************************************************
IN 1966 HARDLY ANY FRENCH EPs MADE THEIR WAY TO THE UK WITH HARDLY ANY SHOPS PREPARED TO IMPORT THEM,INFACT MANY LONG TERM COLLECTORS ARE STILL FINDING OUT ABOUT THEM!
THIS ONE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME MINOR SURFACE MARKS,BUT NO DEEP MARKS.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE.
IT HAS IT'S ORIGINAL LAMINATED FRONT PICTURE COVER WHICH HAS SLIGHT STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS,TEARS OR REPAIRS.
PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS SHOWING BOTH SIDES OF THE COVER AND BOTH RECORD LABELS WHICH HAVE NO WRITING,STAINS etc
THE VINYL IS FLAT,NO WARPS OR DENTS!
NOT A NASTY REPRO LIKE SO MANY AROUND!!!
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY RARE FRENCH EP- THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!
AN EARLY 1ST FRENCH EDITION WHICH WAS VERY LIMITED AND RARE TO FIND 44 YEARS ON AND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY COLLECTION OF RARE TAMLA MOTOWN VARIATIONS!
IT IS MUCH, MUCH HARDER TO FIND THAN OTHER EPs OF THE ERA, WHICH SOLD BETTER.
IN 1966,SO OFTEN THE EQUIPMENT USED WOULD RUIN ANY DELICATE 45 RPM EP DISC WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS!!!
THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY DECENT COPY ON EBAY IN MANY YEARS!
TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER, MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE 1950s AND 1960s!!!
Copies of this EP were being sold in tiny quantities and so how many survive IN PLAYABLE CONDITION??!!!!!!
MOST THAT TURN UP ARE TOTALLY WRECKED.
In those early days with LIMITED exposure on Radio and TV, POP EPs were carefully considered and saved for items,many fans not getting THE TRACKS until they were reissued on LPs much later.
I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.
I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.
Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of major 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 EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.
REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY BOTH OF THE PHOTOS!
IF YOU GO THROUGH MY FEEDBACK YOU WILL SEE MANY OTHER RARITIES -PAY NOTE TO THE FEEDBACK RESPONSES!! INFACT VERY HAPPY CUSTOMERS WHICH IS PROOF OF MY CAREFUL,DETAILED AND STRICT GRADING!!!!
