THE YARDBIRDS
"I WISH YOU COULD" b/w "A CERTAIN GIRL"
MEGA-RARE 1965 1st US YARDBIRDS RELEASE AND ONE OF THE RAREST WORLDWIDE PICTURE SLEEVES. THE SLEEVE CREDITS THE RECORD ERROENOUSLY AS "I WISH YOU COULD" WHEN IN REALITY THE SONG IS CALLED "I WISH YOU WOULD". EPIC CAUGHT THE ERROR AND CORRECTED THE LABEL DURING PRODUCTION BUT DID NOT REPRINT THE PICTURE SLEEVE. THIS WAS NOT A PROMOTIONAL SLEEVE, IT WAS INTENDED TO ACCOMPANY THE COMMERCIAL SINGLE AS WELL, AND LIKE MANY OTHER SLEEVES OF THE DAY INCLUDED ADVERTISING AIMED AT THE TEEN MARKET. THE BACK OF THIS ONE CARRIED AN AD FOR ESQUIRE SOCKS' 'DENIM TONES'. (In my personal collection I have both variations of this ad back and one of the sleeves came with a yellow label stock copy of "I Wish You Could" so it definitely does exist)
THE LABELS ARE BRIGHT WHITE AND CLEAN, NO WRITING OR STICKERS. PLAYING SURFACES HAVE SUPERFICIAL LIGHT MARKS AND LIGHT PLAY WEAR, WITH TWO OBVIOUS BUT PURELY SUPERFICIAL SCUFFS.
THE SLEEVE IS NICE AND FLAT, NOT DIRTY AND NOT STAINED. IT HAS A BALLPOINT SQUIGGLE IN THE BORDER ALONG THE RIGHT SIDE, IT'S LIGHT AND COULD POSSIBLY BE ERASED BUT I HAVE NOT TRIED AND WON'T. THERE IS A SLIGHT PARTIAL RECORD STORAGE IMPRESSION IN PLACES ON FRONT AND BACK, THERE'S A TINY CREASE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP, AND A TINY CREASE WITH A TINY TEAR AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP. THERE IS ALSO A TINY DRILL HOLE THROUGH THE SLEEVE APPROXIMATELY IN THE CENTER. IT'S CLEAN & SMALL ENOUGH THAT AT FIRST I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT (see the last 2 pictures). NO STICKERS, NO OTHER TEARS, CREASES OR DEFECTS, NO SEAM SPLITS.
OVERALL A VG+ COPY OF THE RAREST US YARDBIRDS RECORD & SLEEVE.
