ULTRA RARE NORTHERN SOUL DEMO
RAY POLLARD
THE DRIFTER/LET HIM GO
UNITED ARTISTS UP1111
RELEASED 1965
This ultra rare demo record is very much sought after. It won’t need any introduction to Northern Soul devotees. It was Ray Pollard’s first release in the U.K.
As can been seen on the record, it was released in the U.K. on 29 October 1965. I acquired it near that time and it has been part of my vast collection of Soul, R&B and Blues records since.
Both sides of the record play absolutely perfectly. Visibly, the record looks to be practically unmarked. Over 56 years it has been played and handled a few times but, as I have said, plays perfectly. I can hear no extraneous surface noise. There is no handwriting on the record and I have graded it as Excellent (Ex). [In the photos any apparent marks on the record are caused by the reflections of the surroundings and are not on the vinyl.]
The record is in an original United Artists sleeve, which has no tears. Over the years the sleeve has been handled quite a bit and is creased on the back (see photo 5) but overall it is not bad. There is no handwriting on the sleeve. I have graded the sleeve as Good.
The well packaged record will be despatched by Royal Mail Special Delivery, fully insured, at a subsidised cost of £5.
I always endeavour to combine postage where possible.
U.K. delivery only.
