WHY SO RARE? IN JANUARY 1963 WHILE THIS DISC WAS CHARTING IN THE U.K. , PARLOPHONE RECORDS CEASED PRODUCTION OF THEIR RED LABELED 45's & INTRODUCED THE MORE COMMON BLACK LABELED VERSION. THIS OF COURSE ,MEANT THAT, THE ORIGINAL RED LABELED COPIES WERE ONLY AVAILABLE TO BUY FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IN GREAT BRITAIN.
THE VINYL PLAYING SURFACES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE DISC ARE VERY CLEAN WITH ONLY A FEW VISUAL MINOR HANDLING SURFACE MARKS IN EVIDENCE. THE RECORD PLAY'S WITH A GREAT AUDIO WITH ONLY VERY LIGHT OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND NOISE. THE ARE NO SKIPS, OR STALLS THROUGHOUT. GRADED AS A STRONG V.G.
THE LABELS- THEY HAVE BIRO INSCRIPTIONS IN THE CENTRE OF THE PUSH OUT CENTRE ON BOTH SIDES. THERE IS SOME VISUAL SPINDLE WEAR AND SOME COLOUR LOSS, BUT REMAIN LEGIBLE
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN IT'S ORIGINAL SUPER CLEAN COMPANY PAPER JACKET, & A CLEAR PLASTIC PROTECTOR.
I OFFER A FULL REFUND IF THE WINNING BIDDER IS NOT SATISFIED WITH MY DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING
