Description
THE SMALL FACES: SINGLES A & B - DECCA TEST PRESS MINT
PINK TEST LABEL, C&B SLEEVE, BEAUTIFUL UNPLAYED COPY
THE SMALL FACES
Rock Roots: The Singles Album; All The Decca 'A'+'B' Sides
UK DECCA (ROOTS 5) 1976 PINK LABEL TEST PRESSING OF THE SMALL FACES' DECCA SINGLES 'A' AND 'B' (1965-67) - IN UNPLAYED CONDITION AND DELIVERING PRISTINE AUDIO THROUGHOUT - GREAT TO HEAR ALL THESE TRACKS IN ONE PLACE DEMONSTRATING WHAT AN IMPRESSIVE BAND THEY WERE!
PRESSED ON QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH PINK TEST PRESS 'FACTORY SAMPLE' LABELS (which are generic and state STEREO, but all cuts are in MONO)
MATRICES: XARL-14606.P-1C / XARL-14607.P-1C
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/U and 1/C
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE COMMERCIAL RELEASE FRONT LAMINATED SINGLE COVER "Sleeve printed in England by Clout & Baker Ltd."
Track Listing:
SIDE 1: What'cha Gonna Do About It / What's A Matter Baby/ I've Got Mine / It's Too Late / Sha-La-La-La-Lee / Grow Your Own / Hey Girl / Almost Grown
SIDE 2: All Or Nothing / Understanding / My Minds Eye / I Can't Dance With You / I Can't Make It / Just Passing / Patterns / E To D
LABELS: Both labels have some discolouration on the top half - possibly the remnants of some long gone sticker but there is no damage and no residue and the labels have no spindle markings - in my opinion this copy has never been played - NEAR MINT
VINYL Visual: The record lies perfectly flat on the turntable and both surfaces retain their original deep, like-new, glossy sheen and are unmarked - MINT
VINYL Audio: Crystal clear, deep, rich sound - beautifully recorded and engineered MONO cut, as you would expect from Decca who produced some of the finest sounding records. On playback at a loud volume the delivery is practically flawless (there is a little crackle on the Side One run-off but nothing during the music itself) - MINT
SLEEVE: The front laminated cover has some general light storage wear (light creasing to the spine and a little edge wear) but is otherwise, in great shape with a deeply glossy laminated front - Nr EXCELLENT
PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I USUALLY TAKE QUITE A FEW SO YOU CAN GET A CLEAR INDICATION OF EVERY DETAIL OF THE ITEM

AS WITH ALL MY RECORDS THIS HAS A LOW START PRICE AND NO RESERVE

REDUCED POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS (EACH ADDITIONAL LP: £2.00)
I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period. I am continually adding new items which may be of interest to you and it is impractical for me to allow payment to be postponed indefinitely in the expectation that you might wish to bid on future items. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers
ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT.
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY CUSTOM MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks
