Description

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS THE HUGELY SOUGHT AFTER UK MOD DANCER / R&B SINGLE RELEASE FROM THE FANYASTIC ALAN BOWN SET AND IS HARD TO FIND IN ANY PLAYGRADED CONDITION. ALTHOUGH THERE IS BACKGROUND CRACKLE ITS IS NOT PARTICULARLY NOTICABLE ONCE THE TRACK STARTS AS THE PACE AND INTENSITY OF THIS SEMINAL MOD DANCER TAKES OVER**.
A CLASSIC R&B / MOD GEM FROM THE FABULOUS THE ALAN BOWN SET 'HEADLINE NEWS' / 'Mr PLEASURE' WHICH PLAYGRADES AT VERY GOOD MINUS ('A' SIDE) FOR BACKGROUND STATIC/CRACKLE BUT WHICH IS NOT MAJORLY NOTICABLE WHEN THE TRACK IS IN FULL SWING. A PLAYABLE COPY UNTIL THE 'UNPLAYED GRAIL' COPY COMES ALONG!!
RELEASED IN 1966 THIS 1ST UK PRESSING ON THE PYE RECORDS LABEL HAS BECOME MASSIVELY SOUGHT AFTER AND INCREASINGLY HARD TO SOURCE. AT THE TIME OF LISTING THIS IS THE ONLY COPY ON EBAY IN THE UK AND A SIMILAR GRADED COPY IN THE US IS LISTED AT $120 PLUS ALL THE IMPORT/POSTAGE/VAT FEES.
A SUPERB SINGLE WITH TWO BRILLIANT MOD TRACKS.
IVE DECIDED TO SELL SOME OF MY COLLECTION SIMPLY DUE TO RETIREMENT AND DOWNSIZING. ALL THE RECORDS COME FROM MY OWN COLLECTION AND AT LEAST SINCE I HAVE OWNED THEM THEY HAVE BEEN STORED UPRIGHT IN PROTECTIVE SLEEVES IN A SMOKE AND PET FREE ENVIRONMENT.
PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY OTHER SINGLES/LPs FOR SALE.

THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE PLAYING COPY OF A HUGELY HARD TO FIND IN THE UK R&B / MOD SINGLE.
The LABELS ARE VG- WITH SOME DAMAGE BUT ARE STILL READABLE (see pics for exact condition).
The SINGLE PLAYGRADES AT VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-) condition with background static and surface markings/light scratches but no skips or jumps.
THIS ORIGINAL 1ST UK PRESSING 'PYE RECORD LABEL) RELEASE RARELY COMES UP FOR SALE.

It is supplied in its original COMPANY paper sleeve and a poly sleeve for extra protection.
This superb 1st UK release virtually never comes up for sale on Ebay UK. You will not find another copy easily.
I grade strictly to the Rare Record Grading System and include a definition of grading below:

Rare Record Collector Grading: VG- (VERY GOOD MINUS)
 VERY GOOD MINUS:  Description: The record has been been played many times with noticable lessening in sound quality. May have run in static and background crackle but not majorly affecting the music quality. The cover and packag­ing will have some wear and/or creasing.
I will ONLY SEND this 'SIGNED FOR'.
I offer a no quibble returns on my vinyl (buyer pays return postage). 

Please contact me if any issues asap.

I offer combined postage.
