Here is a BRILLIANT PF SLOAN song and the last single by THE PARAMOUNTS who would partly go on to become PROCOL HARUM!!! AS A BONUS IT'S A MAGNIFICENT AND VERY RARE DEMO SINGLE PLAYED ONLY A FEW TIMES .Not a hit but played by the pirate radio stations and popular in the dance halls.A mod classic!!!!.I DON'T RECALL SEEING THIS AS A DEMO BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS THE BASIC STUFF and NOW HERE'S AN IN DEPTH DESCRIPTION!! . MOST 1960s 45's were played on OLDER equipment with even OLDER styli, Nasty HEAVY PICKUPS, or on cheapo box type players that ENCOURAGED the use of an AUTOCHANGER which would SCUFF any disc in seconds. ANY COPY THAT SURVIVES IN NEAR MINT CONDITION IS A JOY TO BEHOLD AND A MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS BEAT GROUP/PARAMOUNTS/PROCOL HARUM FAN. DEMO RECORDS OF THE 1960s WERE USUALLY PRESSED UP IN A SMALL QUANTITY OF AROUND 200-250 COPIES ONLY FOR ADVANCE PROMOTION TO RADIO STATIONS/DJs AND REVIEWERS SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE GENERAL RELEASE.MOST COPIES WERE DAMAGED OR EVEN THROWN AWAY AFTER USE.AS THE YEARS GO ON FEWER COME UP FOR SALE, THOSE THAT SURVIVE ARE IN MOST CASES SAFELY IN THE HANDS OF COLLECTORS!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE THE UNIQUE AND STRIKING DIFFERENT LABEL DESIGN AND OF COURSE BEING A DEMO, IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST PRESSINGS OFF THE MASTER STAMPER, SO THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB!!! YOU MAY NEVER GET A CHANCE TO OWN SUCH A FANTASTIC ITEM AGAIN!!!! LOOKING AT THE DISC ITSELF IN STRONG LIGHT>>>>>>>>>>>THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF MINOR SURFACE MARKS ON THE"A"SIDE-JUST A FAINT ONE ON THE"B"SIDE!!!! I DO NOT SKIM/WORK IN DUBIOUS FLUIDS OR CHEAT LIKE SOME DEALERS.WONDERFUL SHARP, CLEAN LABELS!!!.PLEASE SEE THE PHOTO-Housed in a clean and correct ORIGINAL COMPANY COVER. THIS IS HOW I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!! So now the ACTUAL PLAYING>>>>>>>BOTH SIDES OF THIS COPY HAS BEEN LISTENED TO BY MYSELF, A LONG TERM FAN and VERY FUSSY GRADER -LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK FOR PROOF!!!!! I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used-I LISTEN IN THE QUIET COMPUTER/MUSIC ROOM/HOME OFFICE Located in a QUIET CUL-DE-SAC AWAY FROM TRAFFIC NOISE/PHONES/SCREAMING BABIES etc. I LISTEN AT A DECENT VOLUME. I LISTEN AS IF I WOULD BE BUYING FOR MYSELF. I AM NOT ONE OF THESE"RIP OFF"MERCHANTS WHO SAY EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL AND SUPER RARE- I TELL IT LIKE IT IS . This was played ONLY a handful of times but there are NO LOUD CLICKS OR BUMPS INFACT I HARDLY HEARD ANY SURFACE NOISE AT ALL. THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT !!!!!!!! .I report this AS THE TRUTH. IT IS NOT A 100% PERFECT MINT SOUNDING DISC-BUT NOT FAR BEHIND!!!!!!!!!!!!! This disc has been selected from the collection of a FORMER BBC RADIO ONE DJ who was sent this in 1965 and has been kept away from light and heat in a series of protective cardboard boxes that house about 50 singles for OVER 40 years!!!!!!!!! I WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY OTHER PERSON TO LOOK AT THIS DISC SINCE 1965!!!!!!!!!
