Description
A RARE BACK TO FRONT SLEEVE VARIANT OF THE DANISH PS 1975 ABBA SINGLE , POLAR POS 1207.
SIDE 2 LABEL : ROCK ME. SIDE 1 LABEL : I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO.
THE PAPER SLEEVE IS THE WALLET TYPE AND THE SLEEVE HAS A 1CM SPLIT AND A 4CM SPLIT AT THE SIDE CLOSED EDGES , IT HAS AGE CREASING AND SIGNIFICANT OPEN EDGE WEAR WITH TWO VERTICAL SPLIT LESS THAN 1CM LONG. THE SLEEVE IS BOTH FADED AND YELLOWED - PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES - IT IS 50 YEARS OLD !. THE SLEEVE AND LABELS ARE FREE OF WRITING. THE VINYL IS SHINY WITH NO SCRATCHES, JUST THE HARD TO SEE SHALLOW SURFACE MARKS FROM PUTTING IN AND OUT OF THE SLEEVE, AND IT PLAYS WITHOUT CLICKS OR SKIPS AND ALMOST AS NEW ON BOTH SIDES. THE LABEL ON THE IDO IDO... SIDE HS AN AREA OF DAMAGE. TEH SINGLE WITH THE REVERSE SLEEVE DESIGN IS QUITE HARD TO FIND AS DANISH ISSUES SOLD IN SMALL QUANTITIES ANYWAY, AND THIS WAS NOT A NO.1 HIT ANYWHERE AND REACHED ONLY NUMBER 38 IN THE UK CHARTS . THIS SINGLE WAS MADE IN DENMARK AND THE ORIGINAL ID I DO...SLEEVE DESIGN WAS ONLY USED IN A FEW COUNTRIES .
THERE WAS A SLEEVE VARIANT WITH THE TEXT IN YELLOW, ANOTHER WITH A CUT OUT EDGE AT THE TOP OF THE REAR SLEEVE , ONE WITH A STRAIGHT EDGE ON THE REAR SLEEVE , AND THEN THIS VERY ODD VARIANT WHERE ROCK ME IS THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE !!! - HOWEVER THE LABELS STILL SHOW THE ORIGINAL SIDES 1 & 2 - MAYBE JUST A BLIP AT THE SLEEVE PRINTERS - WHO KNOWS ?
THE LAST TWO PICTURES SHOW OTHER SLEEVE VARIANTS BUT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE LISTING.
THE START PRICE REFLECTS THE RARITY & CLEAN CONDITION OF THE VINYL, AND THE FACT THAT THIS COPY HAS THE CENTRE INTACT WHEREAS MANY WERE REMOVED, BUT IT ALSO TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE SLEEVE WEAR AND LABEL DAMAGE.
ODDLY THIS SINGLE WAS NOT RELEASED IN SWEDEN !. (S83)
