THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP Their First LP 1965 UK FONTANA 1st *MONO* - NEAR MINT
THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUPTheir First LP
1965 UK FONTANA (TL 5242) ORIGINL *MONO* PRESSING
GREAT COPY - PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH NOTHING TO FAULT THE CRISP, CLEAN AND SHARP *MONO* CUT
PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE TEXTURED BLACK/SILVER FONTANA LABELS WITH "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1965/1965"
MATRIX: 687343 1L//1 ▽ 420 6 / 687343 2L//1 ▽ 420 7
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE WITH PASTED-ON BACK PANEL
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE - DATE CODED '065' (June 1965)
The group's first album is basically a reflection of their live set and very heavy on the R&B/soul standards.
Dominated by covers of Ike & Tina Turner, the Coasters, John Lee Hooker, Little Walter, Brenda Holloway, and others, only three of the tunes are original.
Two of these are written by Stevie Winwood, the other by Spencer Davis; Winwood's mid-tempo soul number "It Hurts Me So" is easily the best of them. Winwood is in fine voice and the group is energetic. Includes their first two British singles, "Dimples" and "I Can't Stand It."
Side 1:
My Babe
Dimples
Searchin'
Every Little Bit Hurts
I'm Blue (Gong Gong Song)
Sittin' And Thinkin'
Side 2:
I Can't Stand It
Here Right Now
Jump Back
It's Gonna Work Out Fine
Midnight Train
It Hurts Me So
LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, unmarked labels - light/moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen with nothing but harmless light hairlines
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully throughout - crisp, sharp and bright *MONO* cut - nothing of note to fault
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Again, a fine example - some light rub to the laminate and rub to the corners but sharp edges and spine where all text is clear and bold
