Description
RELEASED 06/10/1967 CATALOGUE NUMBER: COLUMBIA DB 8278 MATRIX NO'S: 7CXA 31648/31649 OWNED SINCE NEW
Exceptionally scarce UK Demo/Promo. This record is near mint, I don't recall ever playing it. Columbia green label with white large A and release date. Very few demos of this were ever pressed (I was a record buyer for Keith Prowse Music in the late 1960's).
For a band that released just three singles and had no significant commercial success, the story of Rupert's People is enormously complicated. The band went through three separate line ups, and none of the musicians who were in the iteration that was by far the longest-lasting and most visible played on their most celebrated single. Stewart Copeland joined the band pre Police days. What ultimately matters most, though, are the records they left behind. And the Rupert's People releases contained some good period late-'60s British psychedelic pop, particularly the one record that psychedelic collectors tend to be familiar with, "Reflections of Charles Brown." Though the other Rupert's People singles weren't as memorable, they did contain some fair British pop-mod-psych. That was particularly the case on this record "A Prologue to a Magic World," which like many of the time's U.K. psychedelic singles built a whimsical fairy tale-like atmosphere.
A very rare gem for the lucky buyer!
UK 1st Class post is included. I can post overseas, extra cost dependant on your location. Any taxes/customs duties are the buyers responsibility.
