"WORKING IN THE SOUL MINE"
JOHN SCHROEDER WAS A TOP BRITISH PRODUCER,SONGWRITER AND ARRANGER PROVIDING BACKINGS FOR MANY POP ARTISTS.THIS PROJECT ALSO INCLUDED THE CO-ARRANGING OF ALAN TEW, WHO AT THE TIME WAS VERY HOT AS AN ARRANGER ON THE EARLY HIT RECORDS OF CAT STEVENS AND OTHER ARTISTS OF THE MID TO LATE 1960s.TEW ALSO MADE MANY LPs OF EXCELLENT BEAT VERSIONS OF TV THEMES AND BEAT TUNES.THIS LP HAS TRACKS WHICH HAVE BEEN POPULAR ON THE NORTHERN SOUL SCENE WHICH EXPLAINS IT'S £50 RATING IN THE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE.THE VERSIONS ARE BIG PRODUCTION BUT WITH SOLID RHYTHM AND BASS SECTIONS AND TRUE TO THE ORIGINALS BUT WITH THAT BRITISH BEAT PRODUCTION ADDED TO WHAT WERE FOR THE MOST PART BLACK AMERICAN SOUL CLASSICS.SEE THE TRACK LISTING BELOW.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A STEREO COPY BEFORE OR ANY COPY IN AS GOOD CONDITION AS THIS ONE WHICH IS AS CLOSE TO MINT AS POSSIBLE!IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY,ONE REVIEW PLAY AND THEN THE ONE PLAY OF MINE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS!YOU WILL NEVER FIND A BETTER ONE!
THIS HAS BEEN REISSUED OVER THE YEARS BUT THIS IS THE FIRST STEREO EDITION WHICH IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!
MOST BUYERS IN 1966 FOR THIS LP WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE MONO VERSION WITH FEWER STEREO COPIES MADE AND IN MOST CASES ONLY OBTAINED TO SPECIAL ORDER!
A STRICTLY GRADED NEAR MINT RECORD THAT IS FROM A FORMER RECORD REVIEWER AND IS CLEAR THAT IT HAS HAD ONLY A COUPLE OF PLAYS WITH GLEAMING SURFACES!!
+ A CLEAN GLOSSY/LAMINATED FRONT COVER WHICH HAS NO RIPS,WRITING OR REPAIRS!
THE STEREO STICKER AT THE BACK HAS PEELED OFF AND MISSING LEAVING A TINY STAIN.
THIS IS THE FIRST PRESSING FROM 1966!
A 1-T B1-T MATRIXES.
THIS IS WELL WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE!!!!!!!
PICCADILLY NSPL 38025 STEREO THICK VINYL!

***********************************************************
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NICE BRITISH SOUL/BEAT LP -THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!
A FIRST EDITION WHICH IS NOW 44 YEARS OLD AND WAS DELETED WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS AS MANY POP LPs HAD LIMITED SALES!
AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY BRITISH SOUL/BEAT COLLECTION!
MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.
THIS COPY HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED A COUPLE OF TIMES AT THE MOST AND IS STILL IN VERY NICE ORDER AND SOUNDS FANTASTIC WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER AND GLEAMING SURFACES!
NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS!
FAR,FAR BETTER THAN MOST"MINT" LPs!
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!!!
DUE TO A LACK OF SPACE AND THE REALISATION THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO PLAY THE MAJORITY OF MY HUGE COLLECTION,I AM PRUNING DOWN SELECTED ITEMS.
AN ORIGINAL STEREO EDITION FROM 1966 OF THE RARE ALBUM ISSUED ON THE UK PYE PRESSED PICCADILLY LABEL .
How many were preserved like this one ??!!!!!!
Just to explain, in 1966,the majority of fans that were buying SOUL/BEAT Lps were using poor equipment-Classical music LPs tended to be more cared for.
THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED!
GREAT WIDE STEREO AND CLEAR SOUND!
I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.
There is NO spindle wear!!!
NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!
THE COVER HAS A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES.
NO WRITING EXCEPT A TIMING IN SMALL BIRO AGAINST ONE LISTED TRACK AT THE BACK!
NO NASTY SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,STAPLES,HOLE CUTS ETC.
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 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 NEAR MINT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "NEAR MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.
THE LP ITSELF AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!
REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS!
