THE SYNDICATS

 ONE OF THE GREATEST FREAKBEAT TRACKS EVER!

CRAWDADDY SIMONE

RIDICULOUSLY RARE 1965 UK ONE-OFF STOCK PRESSING

ON THE HORIZON b/w CRAWDADDY SIMONE

EXCELLENT CONDITION

Produced by the legendary (and by this time utterly bonkers) JOE MEEK.

The A Side features one of the earliest ever recordings by STEVE HOWE, later of Tomorrow and Yes.

The B Side is considered by many to be one of the greatest 1960s Freakbeat wig-outs EVER, and is thought to feature the great RAY FENWICK on guitar.

1965 UK 7" single release COLUMBIA (DB 7686) 45 rpm MONO

Stamped matrices: 7XCA 28019-1 and 28020-1

Made in Great Britain by Columbia Graphophone Co Ltd

CONDITION: VINYL EXCELLENT The heavyweight vinyl has some light hairline marks and typical signs of careful use. The sound reproduction is excellent on both sides with only a little background noise on the run-ins.

LABELS EXCELLENT/EXCELLENT+ The four prong circular push-out centre is strong and complete, with a KT stamper on the A Side and only slight spindlewear. The black paper labels are clean and complete with clear silver printing. Side One has a very light surface mark around the 'Columbia' where a dry 44 year old sticker has been carefully removed, while Side Two is unmarked.

SLEEVE EXCELLENT The original green and white Columbia die-cut paper company sleeve is clean and unmarked with typical creasing but no folds, tears, seam splits, stains or writing.

IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING THIS ITEM PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE BIDDING...

ABOUT THIS ITEM:

All vinyl is strictly graded using the Record Collector RRPG system.

All photographs are of the actual item listed above: I never use 'stock' pictures or re-use old photos of previously sold items.

This item is listed with NO RESERVE for 10 days, running from Thursday evening to Sunday evening. If you wish to ask a question, or leave a message, please try to do so before the final day as I may not be in front of my laptop on my day off.

THERE IS NO 'BUY IT NOW' PRICE. I always let my auctions run their full course, so please do not contact me asking if this item can be sold early. Live a little, enjoy the giddy thrill of bidding.

BIDDERS WITH ZERO (0) FEEDBACK: We all need to start somewhere but, due to an unacceptably high proportion of U.S. non-payers, I would ask all zero feedback potential buyers to EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING. Any bids received from zero feedback buyers who have not contacted me prior to bidding will be immediately deleted.

If you are the successful bidder, PLEASE WAIT FOR ME TO INVOICE YOU BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR PAYMENT, especially if you have bought more than one item - you will be entitled to a postage discount for multiple purchases.

If you do win this item, PLEASE MAKE YOUR PAYMENT WITHIN 2 DAYS of receiving your invoice. If you are unable to pay within 48 hours then please contact me as soon as possible after the auction has finished - communication is everything.

PAYMENT WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTED IN UK STERLING. Whilst PayPal is my preferred method of payment, I am happy to accept UK personal cheques (but only with bank guarantee card details written on the back), sterling Postal or Money Orders, and most international credit or debit cards. I cannot accept cash payments unless they are offered in person upon collection or delivery.

All items will be posted within 48 hours of full payment being received or cleared - in practice, most are despatched on the same day.

POSTAGE & PACKING DETAILS:

This record will be sent to the winning bidder by insured postage AT NO CHARGE.

All records will be removed from their outer sleeves and then placed in a new polythene sleeve, before being carefully packed WITH TWO CARDBOARD STIFFENERS and posted in strong new Covers 33 mailers (although I do try to re-use good quality heavyweight packaging whenever practical). Please try to recycle the packing cardboard if possible - it might just help to offset the damage done when it was originally manufactured. Alternatively, throw it away and set fire to a couple of old tyres.

I CAN ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR ANY ITEMS THAT MAY BE LOST OR DAMAGED IN THE POST

METHODS OF POSTING

UK buyers - Special Delivery Next Day (1pm) service (inc. insurance)

Overseas buyers - Royal Mail International Signed For (Small Packets) service (inc. insurance)

ABOUT ME:

If you haven't done business with me before my name is ANDY HIBBERD and I own a "bricks and mortar" record shop called 101 COLLECTORS RECORDS in Farnham, Surrey, about an hour out of central London.

I deal in old and collectable records, CDs, DVDs and music memorabilia in most genres, as well as new vinyl and CD releases and re-issues. 95% of my business is done in the shop, with my eBay sales offering just a, hopefully tantalising, taste of my overall stock. Please feel free to get in touch if you need any further information about this item, if you have any questions about what's currently in stock, or if you need any advice about selling a collection.

I am always happy to receive your Wants Lists, but I sometimes file them carefully under bits of paper, which are in turn under slightly larger pieces of paper, that aren't always where I thought I had left them. This could be blamed on incompetence on my part, but I prefer to blame it on the pixies that clearly infest my shop and move things about after I have gone home, the little bastards. However, I will do my very best to find what you want a) immediately, b) the day after you have found it elsewhere, or c) about a year after you have quite frankly lost the will to live.

That said, I do appreciate your interest in this listing, especially during these troubled times. If you are thinking of bidding, please make sure that you have read the description and P&P costs carefully, and take the time to look at my Returns Policy. Also, please check out my Feedback comments and past sales - I am not an anonymous internet seller but a responsible (pixies permitting) and contactable UK record dealer. You can bid with confidence.

Thank you.

Andy 

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BIDDING.
