Description




 
 

What's on offer?: Almost without the need for introduction, here we have a SIMPLY FANTASTIC and rapidly ever more IN DEMAND gem from the Blue-Eyed Soul scene - particularly as this copy is an ORIGINAL FIRST UK DEMO PRESSING and in truly STUNNING MINT - condition!!!

A SUPERB DEMO DISC FOR HAPPENING DJs & TRUE COLLECTORS OF BLUE-EYED SOUL AND MOD SOUNDS!

 

LISTEN TO THE FULL TRACK AND HEAR HOW TRULY FANTASTIC THIS RECORD IS!!!!!!!!

This has the lot, great driving rhythm and a fantastic BRASS section that really EXPLODES towards the end of the tune!!!

 

Artist: CIRCUS

(Philip Goodhand-Tait, Mike D'Abo, Mod, R&B)

B-side: Sink Or Swim

A-side: Gone Are The Songs Of Yesterday

Label: Parlophone R 5633 (UK Original DEMO)

 

As you'll see from the photo, this is guaranteed to be the ORIGINAL 1967 UK 1st DEMO pressing with 4-prong pushout centre, so you can forget about having to settle for one of those dodgy so-called "limited re-pressings" (many of which are actually bootlegs) that are flooding the market.

 

A great Blue-Eyed Soul romp, any fan of the scene or 60s music in general will simply have to have this item in their collection!!!!

 

Grade (labels): The classic dark green labels with large white A are in superb condition; there is no wear and just one spindle mark!!!

 

Grade (vinyl): In decades gone by, the general public and DJs had no idea how valuable some vinyl would turn out to be.  hence, discs such as this were often handled with relative neglect and played on a much heavier stylus than is the case nowadays.  The result is that many discs are found to be badly marked and sometimes almost unplayable.  This record, however, is strictly graded at MINT - and looks to have had maybe one or two spins at the most!!!!!

 

Grade (company bag): In a word....fan-tastic!!

 

Why buy?: This is such a BRILLIANT and now INCREASINGLY IN DEMAND 45.  It's hard to find a copy in ANY condition, let alone one as FANTASTIC as this.  So don't miss this copy as it might be your only chance to buy an ORIGINAL 1967 Parlophone UK 1st DEMO pressing of "Sink Or Swim" by Circus in MINT - condition!!!

 

Don't forget: Look to see if I have other rare items on auction at the present time. 

 

Shipping: Each item will be carefully packaged with factory-cut cardboard stiffeners either side and shipped individually in a brand new record mailer; unlike some other sellers I do NOT use poor packaging with scrap cardboard - or worse still NO cardboard - inside!  P&P is £2.95 for Recorded Delivery in the UK, Overseas TBA. Insurance above the basic level provided by mail companies costs extra and, if required, must be paid for by the buyer.  I cannot accept any responsibility for payments/items lost or damaged and not covered by adequate insurance.

Thanks for looking.
