Description

For sale is a 45 rpm record by THE MANISH BOYS of a track called "I Pity The Fool". The B side is "Take My Tip" and it has the catalogue number Parlophone R 5250.

I believe by a visual grading, this record is in MINT condition, BUT the sleeve has a few minor creases so I would only say it is Very Good

This single is David Bowie's second commercial release (as Davie Jones), as a member of the group, The Manish Boys, in 1965

 

The B-Side, 'Take My Tip' is Bowie's own composition

 

Hope this helps?

Now for the boring bits. I am sorry if your grandmother is in hospital, you are going on holiday tomorrow or your cat has run off with next door's budgie but this is an auction listing and I WILL NOT end it early with a "Buy It Now" or any private deal! Sorry! If you have ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, please feel free to email me and I will be glad to help.

I will post this item worldwide at cost (although I recommend you pay the few pennies more for adequate insurance) and will accept payment by bank transfer (in Sterling please) or Paypal, if you do not have access to electronic transfers.

I am currently selling two other rare and highly collectible singles so please take a moment to check them out too?

Thanks for looking and good luck - you won't be disappointed if you win this one!
