Description

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things. UK MONO Pressing. 1968.


Record plays VG+ EXCEPT for a weird pressing(?) defect on side two, that I had not noticed until I was REALLY listening before this down-sizing-inspired eBay listing…


As “Old Man Going” leads in on side 2 (see photo) a foot-tap-type click starts and continues until about 1’27”. It’s mainly audible in the quieter parts and is caused by three equidistant 1/4” diameter circles (almost like small cigarette burns) at three inches from the edge, and from the center.

So it clicks at 100 BPM, whereas the beat of the track is about 130 (?).


Then it stops. It doesn’t skip or jump, it just clicks, but I hadn’t noticed it before now.


I’ve asked in two used record shops and in forums online and can’t explain. Now that I know it’s there, I can’t unhear it, but it doesn’t really spoil the listening experience… it just adds an intriguing counter-point!


Any opinions?


Gatefold sleeve is VG except for my name and date of purchase on top inside cover. (I never expected to be selling it).
