	$		41

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beach Boys called "Little Deuce Coupe" and is an ORIGINAL 1963 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press 'Rainbow' Capitol label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE BEACH BOYS RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1963 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN THE UK - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE, AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL - IS THAT IT IS 1ST PRESSED IN MEGA RARE STEREO!!!!  AND THIS IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN THE UK BACK IN 1963, NEARLY EVERY 1ST PRESSING WAS MADE IN COMMON MONO - WITH VIRTUALLY NONE IN MEGA RARE STEREO AT ALL!!!!  AND DEMAND FOR STEREOs WAS SO ABSOLUTELY TINY IN 1963, THAT MOST SHOPS DIDNT EVEN STOCK STEREOs AS STANDARD - AND STEREO 1ST PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER AVAILABLE BY 'SPECIAL ORDER' ONLY!!!!  AS A RESULT, FINDING A 1ST PRESSING OF THIS INCREDIBLE LP IN MEGA RARE STEREO IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!!!! 

HOWEVER!!!!  A VERY INTERESTING POINT ABOUT THIS EXTREMELY RARE LP, IS THAT THIS LP ACTUALLY WASNT "TRUE STEREO" AT ALL!!!!  ALTHOUGH IT WAS MARKETED & SOLD IN THE UK AS "STEREO" BACK IN THE 1960s - IT REALLY WAS A BIT MISLEADING, AS THIS LP ISNT REALLY "TRUE STEREO" AT ALL!!!!  SO ALTHOUGH THIS ULTRA RARE "STEREO" UK 1ST PRESSING IS EXTREMELY RARE INDEED - AND IS AT LEAST 10 TIMES RARER THAN THE STANDARD MONO 1ST PRESSING (WHICH IS VERY COMMON!) - IT ACTUALLY ISNT "TRUE STEREO" AT ALL - MORE LIKE SOME KIND OF 'RE-PROCESSED MONO' INSTEAD!!!!  OBVIOUSLY IT IS FAR FAR RARER THAN THE STANDARD MONO (WHICH IS, AS I SAID - VERY COMMON INDEED!) - AND OF COURSE STILL SOUNDS DIFFERENT TO THE STANDARD MONO (OBVIOUSLY!) - BUT IF YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY THERE IS ACTUALLY NEVER "TRUE SEPARATION" ON THIS "STEREO" RECORDING.  ITS A LITTLE KNOWN FACT, AND CERTAINLY DOESNT MAKE THIS LP ANY LESS RARE - BUT ONE THAT I THOUGHT OTHERS WOULD FIND VERY INTERESTING!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN SUPERB CONDITION AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1963 UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING ON 1ST PRESS 'RAINBOW' CAPITOL LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED 'PATENTS PENDING' STEREO COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Capitol UK 1st Pressing from 1963 and is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat.
