Description
What's on offer?: Almost without the need for introduction, here we have a SIMPLY FANTASTIC and hugely in demand Mod British R&B Freakbeat gem - especially as an ORIGINAL UK PRESSING and in STONE MINT condition!!
Artist: THE T-BONES
A-side: “I'M A LOVER NOT A FIGHTER”
B-side: “How Many More Times”
Label: Columbia DB 7401 (UK Original)
When did you last see one of these offered for sale and, importantly, when are you likely to see one again???!!!
Produced by Giorgio Gomelsky (of Graham Bond Organisation fame) and complete with its two stormin', wailing harmonica-driven British R&B covers of tunes by Slim Harpo and Howlin' Wolf, this is simply one of the very best items for collectors of Mod British R&B Freakbeat around the World and is on so many Wants Lists it's simply incredible! Many collectors seek a genuine UK 1st pressing of this fabulous double-sider, so I fully expect LARGE bids!!! However, 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 (without push-out centres) that are doing the rounds, as you'll see from the photo this is guaranteed to be the ORIGINAL 1964 UK 1st Pressing. Any fan of The T-Bones, the Mod British R&B Freakbeat sound or 60s music in general, will simply have to have this in their collection!!!!
Grade (labels): The record labels are in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO wear and just one tiny spindle mark on the A-side label!!!
Grade (vinyl): Most of these 60s 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 have been played perhaps just once!!!!
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 ANY CONDITION, LET ALONE PERFECT MINT!!!! SO, DON'T MISS OUT!!!! THIS WILL SURELY BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1964 COLUMBIA UK 1ST PRESSING OF "I'M A LOVER NOT A FIGHTER" BY THE T-BONES IN STUNNING MINT, PLAYED ONCE CONDITION!!!! Use the 'Buy It Now' facility (if it's still available) before somebody else beats you to it!!!
