Description

What's on offer?: Almost without the need for introduction, here we have a SIMPLY FANTASTIC and hugely IN DEMAND NORTHERN SOUL DANCER - particularly as this copy is an ORIGINAL FIRST UK DEMO PRESSING and in STUNNING MINT - condition!!!

A SUPERB ARCHIVE COPY FOR TRUE NORTHERN SOUL COLLECTORS!

USE THE MUSICPLAYER TO HEAR HOW BRILLIANT THIS TUNE IS!!

Artist: FRANK POLK

A-side: Trying To Keep Up With The Joneses

B-side: Welcome Home Baby

Label: Capitol CL 15389 (UK Original DEMO)

Produced by H.B. Barnum!!!!

As you'll see from the photo, this is guaranteed to be the ORIGINAL 1965 UK 1st DEMO pressing with four-spoke pushout, 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 simply incredible double-sided NORTHERN SOUL gem, any fan of Frank Polk or 60s music in general will simply have to have this beauty in their collection!!!!

Grade (labels): The classic white labels with large red A are in SUPERB condition; there is NO wear and NO spindle marks!!!

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 minus and may possibly even be UNPLAYED!!!!

Grade (company bag): In a word....absolutely superb!!

Why buy?: This is such a BRILLIANT and AGONISINGLY RARE 45. It's hard to find a genuine copy in ANY condition, let alone a STUNNING copy like this!!!! So, don't miss this as it might be your only chance to buy an ORIGINAL 1966 Capitol UK 1st pressing of "Trying To Keep Up With The Joneses" by Frank Polk in MINT - condition!!!

Don't forget: Look to see if I have other rare items on auction at the present time. Many vinyl gems (always in fantastic condition) will be emerging over the coming weeks and months so, to ensure you don't miss out, please check my listings from time to 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 £6.25 (incl. Special 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.
