Description

What's on offer?: Almost without the need for introduction, here we have a SIMPLY FANTASTIC and hugely in demand PSYCH Monster - especially as an ORIGINAL UK PRESSING and in STUNNING MINT UNPLAYED condition!!

 

Artist: OPAL BUTTERFLY

(Connections: Hawkwind, Motorhead, Mott The Hoople)

A-side: “Groupie”

B-side: "Gigging Song"

Label: Polydor 2058-041 (UK Original)

 

A superb Psych/Prog Rock outing and the most highly sought-after of the Opal Butterfly releases. If you miss out on this UNBEATABLE copy, when are you likely to see one again???!!! 

This is one of the TOP TOP items for collectors of PSYCH and PROGRESSIVE ROCK around the World and is on so many Wants Lists it's simply incredible!  The “Buy It Now” facility is there for the careful consideration of those serious collectors who want to get their hands on this gem NOW!!!

Forget all the cheap bootleg repros (made without push-out centres) that are doing the rounds, as you'll see from the photo this is guaranteed to be the ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1st Pressing. Any fan of Opal Butterfly, Hawkwind, the Pysch/Progressive Rock sound or early-70s music in general, will simply have to have this in their collection!!!! 

Grade (labels): The classic red labels are in TOP condition.  The item came from a broadcasting library and bears a stamp on either side that offers the lucky winner with an item of outstanding heritage!!!  There is an encircled '3' handwritten on the label.

Grade (vinyl): Most of these early-70s singles had been played on a heavy stylus and so are usually found totally worn out, almost unplayable. This record, however, is strictly graded at MINT and is firmly believed to be UNPLAYED!!!! 

Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT Record Collector grading standards - it's simply not in my interest to do otherwise!!!! Brilliant!!!!

Why buy?:  THIS IS SUCH A BRILLIANT AND PAINFULLY RARE SINGLE.  IT’S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A GENUINE COPY IN TOP CONDITION, LET ALONE PERFECT MINT UNPLAYED!!!! SO, DON'T MISS OUT!!!! THIS WILL SURELY BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1970 POLYDOR UK 1ST PRESSING OF "GROUPIE" BY OPAL BUTTERFLY IN STUNNING MINT UNPLAYED CONDITION!!!! Use the 'Buy It Now' facility (if it's still available) before somebody else beats you to it!!!
