Description

THE DRONES...BE MY BABY VERY RARE 7" BLACK VINYL SINGLE ON VALER RECORDS CAT. NO. VRS 5 FROM 1977. 

VERY RARE AND MUCH WRITTEN ABOUT 'LOST' SINGLE FROM ORIGINAL MANCHESTER PUNK BAND THE DRONES. APPARENTLY AROUND 200 COPIES WERE ORIGINALLY PRESSED AND STORED IN LEAD SINGER M.J. DRONES ATTIC FOR 19 YEARS BETWEEN 1977 AND 1996. IT WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN ORIGINALLY RECORDED IN 1977 AND WITHDRAWN INITIALLY DUE TO THE CREDITS BEING INCORRECT ON THE LABEL. BEFORE THE LABELS COULD BE REDONE, VALER RECORDS WENT BUST AND THE SINGLE WAS NEVER RELEASED. HOWEVER, REPORTS ALSO ABOUND OF THIS SINGLE ONLY EVER BEING PRESSED IN 1996 TO SELL ON THE DRONES REUNION GIG AT THE HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN FESTIVAL, AND SUBSEQUENT TOUR. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, THIS COPY HAS THE SERRATED OUTER RIM AROUND THE LABEL AND THIS TYPE OF RIM WASN'T USED IN 7 INCH RECORD PRESSINGS AFTER 1984, ACCORDING TO MANY SOURCES (UNLESS YOU KNOW DIFFERENT). COPIES ARE ALSO VERY HARD TO FIND.

THE VINYL IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. PLAYED ONLY ONCE FROM NEW. THE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION, VERY CLEAN AND FREE OF MARKS. NO STICKS, NO CLICKS, NO JUMPS.

THE PHOTOCOPIED (AS THEY ALL ARE) PICTURE INSERT IS IN MINT OR NEAR MINT CONDITION. THESE INSERTS I BELIEVE WERE ONLY MADE IN 1996. IT HAS BEEN SIGNED BY THREE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BAND (SEE PHOTOS). THERE WERE ONLY THREE OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS WILLING TO GET BACK TOGETHER AT THIS TIME. I HAVE HAD OTHER COPIES OF THIS SINGLE IN THE PAST AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SIGNATURES ARE THE SAME OR VERY SIMILAR AS PREVIOUS COPIES.

BOTH INSERT AND VINYL HAVE BEEN STORED SEPARATELY SINCE BOUGHT.

TRACKS AS FOLLOWS:

A. BE MY BABY (STAMPED MATRIX NUMBER - VRS  5  A  *  45  RPM)

AA. THE CLIQUE (STAMPED MATRIX NUMBER - VRS  5  AA B * 45 RPM) THE 'AA' HERE IS ACTUALLY SCRATCHED NOT STAMPED.

AS A COLLECTOR MYSELF, MY RECORDS, TAPES AND CD'S HAVE BEEN STORED PROPERLY OVER THE YEARS. RECORDS WILL BE SENT OUT IN CARDBOARD MAILERS WITH INTERNAL STIFFENERS. PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE. 

ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE E MAIL ME. ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL AFTER SALE HAS FINISHED, PLEASE COMMUNICATE WITH ME FIRST BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK.
