THE BEATSTALKERS
RAIN COLOURED ROSES / EVERYTHING IS YOU
VERY RARE 1968 UK CBS 7" 3557
ONE OF THE GREAT LOST '60'S BEAT BANDS, THIS GLASGOW GROUP WERE REFERRED TO AS 'THE SCOTTISH BEATLES' WHEN THEY FIRST FORMED. THEY WERE MANAGED BY KENNETH PITT, WHO WAS LOOKING AFTER DAVID BOWIE AT THE TIME. AT HIS SUGGESTION THEY RECORDED SOME OF BOWIE'S VERY EARLY ATTEMPTS AT SONG-WRITING, INCLUDING THE B-SIDE OF THIS SINGLE. APPARENTLY BOWIE SANG BACKING VOCALS ON ONE OR TWO OF THE BEATSTALKERS COVERS.
VINYL
GREAT PLAYBACK! A REALLY STRONG VG++ WITH AN EXCELLENT & CLEAR AUDIO. WILL BE DIFFICULT TO FIND A BETTER PLAYING COPY. THERE'S SOME FEINT B/G ON THE SIDE 1 RUN-IN GROOVES, THEN IT'S A CLEAR, LOUD AND DYNAMIC AUDIO, AS IS THE B-SIDE. NICE CLEAN VINYL WITH JUST SOME SMALL STORAGE WEAR AND SOME FEINT SLEEVE REMOVALS. A NICE COPY OF THIS REALLY RARE BEAT SINGLE - A PLAYED BUT LOOKED AFTER COPY, WITH AN EXCELLENT PLAYBACK.
PLAY GRADED ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES. PLEASE SEE OUR 'GRADINGS EXPLAINED' SHOP PAGE FOR MORE INFO.
ORIGINAL CBS SLEEVE NICE SOLID VG++ WITH NO WRITING. SHIPS IN NEW WHITE PAPER SLEEVE.
LABELS
NICE CLEAN EX, WITH JUST SOME SMALL WEAR AROUND THE EDGE OF THE PUSH-OUT CENTRE ON THE B-SIDE. NO WRITING!
