ATTENTION 1960s SKA/REGGAE,BLUE BEAT LABELS AND 1960s UK HIT SINGLES COLLECTORS!  

HERE IS A 1ST UK 1965 PRESSING OF AN ESSENTIAL 1967 HIT SINGLE: "AL CAPONE" BY PRINCE BUSTER'S ALL STARS.

THE"B"SIDE= "ONE STEP BEYOND".

BOTH SIDES HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL TO THE MOD REVIVAL/2-TONE ARTISTS SUCH AS MADNESS THAT FOLLOWED!

MOST COPIES SOLD WERE ON LATER DIFFERENT COLOUR LABELS BUT THE EARLIEST BATCHES OF THE SINGLE HAD A DARK BLUE "ROUGH TEXTURED" LABELS SUCH AS THIS EXAMPLE WHICH ALSO HAS THE FOUR PRONG CENTRE FULLY INTACT!

THIS COPY HAS SOME SLIGHT SIGNS OF USE BUT PLAYS SUPERB!

IT'S THE FIRST COPY I HAVE FOUND IN AGES WITH THE DARK BLUE LABELS! 

1965 MELODISC PRESSED BLUE BEAT 45/BB 324

THE RECORD WAS OWNED BY A FORMER 1960s PIRATE RADIO DJ WHO WORKED ON SEVERAL OF THE HIGHLY POPULAR BRITISH RADIO STATIONS IN THE DAYS WHEN POP MUSIC ON THE BBC WAS LIMITED TO A FEW HOURS A WEEK! AS THIS ACTUAL RECORD WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED ON THE RADIO,THEN YOU COULD BE OWNING A PIECE OF RADIO HISTORY BUT UNLIKE MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP,THIS ONE IS STILL IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE PROVIDING YOU MAKE ALLOWANCES FOR SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND SOME SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE BUT THERE ARE NO DEEP MARKS,NO STICKS AND NO JUMPS OR LOUD SURFACE SWISHES.  STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION-SEE MY IMPRESSIVE FEEDBACK!  PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS TO OBSERVE THE CLEAN LABELS WITH NO WRITING,NO STICKERS,NO FADING,STAINING AND THE 4 PRONG CENTRE FULLY INTACT! 

THE ORIGINAL WAVY CUT TOP PLAIN WHITE COVER HAS A FEW CREASES BUT IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO WRITING(APART FROM A TINY "2" AT THE TOP).NO RIPS OR REPAIRS. 

JUST HOW MANY COPIES SURVIVE IS DUBIOUS BUT AS THESE 1960s 45s ARE OVER 50 YEARS OLD,MOST HAVE ENDED UP IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS AND AS SUCH THIS COULD WELL BE YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO ADD THIS ESSENTIAL RECORD TO YOUR COLLECTION! 

REMEMBER THIS IS  VERY STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION!  

 A LOW,REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF £5 AND THE WINNING BIDDER WILL GET A PROMPT AND SOLID PARCEL SO BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE! KEEP WATCHING OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS FOR MANY MORE ESSENTIAL SINGLES!
