HERE IS A VERY EXCITING AND RARE ITEM,NOT TO BE FOUND VERY OFTEN!

JAY AND THE AMERICANS

"LIVIN' ABOVE YOUR HEAD"

A TRACK THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A POPULAR DJ TRACK IN SELECTIVE NORTHERN SOUL CLUBS AS WELL AS FANS OF BRITISH PIRATE RADIO OF THE MID-1960s WHEN THIS WAS PLAYED A LOT ON STATIONS SUCH AS RADIO LONDON!

INFACT I HAVE THIS ON VERY GOOD AUTHORITY FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER,THIS IS THE ACTUAL COPY THAT WAS PLAYED ON PIRATE RADIO LONDON IN 1966 WHEN THE BBC IGNORED OBSCURE AMERICAN ARTISTS!

GREAT PRODUCTION WITH BLUE EYED SOUL HARMONY VOCALS AND BRASS/HORN SECTION TO THE FORE ON THIS TOP TRACK!

UNITED ARTISTS:UA 50046 MONO(NATURALLY!) 

IT ONLY REACHED #76 IN THE USA AND FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK!!

THE"B"SIDE="LOOK AT ME-WHAT DO YOU SEE"

THIS IS AN AMERICAN WHITE LABEL UNITED ARTISTS PROMOTION  COPY WITH IT'S ORIGINAL COMPANY COVER!

NOTE THE PEN STARS AND CROSS ON THE"A"SIDE LABEL-NO DOUBT MADE BY HEAD OF MUSIC ON RADIO LONDON,TONY WINDSOR TO ALERT DJs WHAT SIDE TO PLAY AS THERE IS NO PRINTED"A"OR"B"ON THIS USA PROMO/DEMO!

SUCH WAS THE POWER OF THE STATION,THEY OFTEN GOT USA SINGLES SENT OVER SO AS TO GET THEM WEEKS AHEAD OF THE UK ISSUES!

RADIO LONDON WAS BACKED BY AMERICANS WHO NO DOUBT HAD STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH THE RECORD COMPANIES!

THERE ARE SOME MARKS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT ON A MUCH PLAYED EX-RADIO STATION COPY BUT DESPITE SOME MINOR DISTORTION AT PEAKS +A FEW SHORT LIVED CLICKS IT PLAYS GREAT! 

NOTE MY STARTING PRICE OF JUST £25 FOR A GREAT PIECE OF MEMORABILIA!!!!! 

PLEASE SEE THE PHOTO! 

THIS IS VERY TOUGH TO FIND AS A USA DEMONSTRATION  PRESSING AS ONLY A FEW HUNDRED WERE MADE PRE-RELEASE!

MADE IN ADVANCE FOR SELECTED RADIO DJs/PRODUCERS AND RECORD REVIEWERS!

THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE USA PRESSING!  

MOST COPIES HAVE NOW ENDED UP IN LONG TERM COLLECTORS COLLECTIONS AND ARE GETTING LESS FREQUENT ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN 2011!!!

NOT A DODGY REPRO AS MAY EXIST

THIS IS A GENUINE USA DEMO 45!!

(MORE DETAILS BELOW)!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY NICE DEMO 45 OF THIS GREAT NORTHERN SOUL/AMERICAN HARMONY BEAT SINGLE 

-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

A DEMO 45 IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY NORTHERN SOUL 45s COLLECTION AND WOULD LOOK WONDERFUL FRAMED UP AS AN EXAMPLE OF A VERY SPECIAL SINGLE IN A RARELY SEEN VARIATION!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS A NUMBER OF MARKS ON EACH SIDE,BUT ONLY MINOR SURFACE NOISE,NO NASTY LONG LASTING CLICKS,STICKS,DEEP MARKS etc!

A STRICTLY GRADED GOOD++++ CONDITION-PLAYS A VERY STRONG "VG"! 

YOU MAY NEVER FIND ONE AS GOOD AGAIN!

JUST LOOK AT MY PHOTO!

NOTE THE UNIQUE LABEL TO ENJOY WITH IT'S WHITE LABEL UNLIKE THE STANDARD DESIGN + OF COURSE THE "PROMO"TYPE WORDING!  

AN ELITE ITEM FOR ANY DEMO 45s OR NORTHERN SOUL COLLECTOR!

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

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!! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN STRICTLY GRADED GOOD++++ CONDITION WITH A MARKS BUT NOTHING MAJOR.

MOST WOULD STATE VERY GOOD! 

DEMOS WERE USUALLY PLAYED A LOT BY DJs AND IN THE"ROUGH"WORLD OF"DJing"SO OFTEN LEFT OUT OF THE COVER,BADLY TREATED OR EVEN THROWN OUT AFTER USE!

MOST DJs and REVIEWERS WOULD BE SENT DOZENS OF RECORDS EVERY WEEK AND HARDLY ANY THOUGHT LONG TERM INVESTMENT!!!!

The Mono mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

Vinyl is still the best way to hear NORTHERN SOUL and always will be!   A FANTASTIC ITEM!

GREAT INVESTMENT FROM ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING RECORD EXPERTS! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

THE PRINT IS STILL CLEAR TO READ.

THE COVER IS IN SUPER ORDER!

Look elsewhere on ebay and MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often FAKES,reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of 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 A VERY STRONG GOOD++++ CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "VG"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTO! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
