WONDERFUL RADIO LONDON

HIGHLIGHTS OF "BIG L",THE MOST POPULAR AND BEST OF THE 1960s UK PIRATE RADIO STATIONS!

ORIGINAL 1967 UK PRESSED MAIL ORDER ONLY SOLID THICK VINYL EP WITH NO CATALOGUE NUMBER AND PRESSED IN A LIMITED ONE OFF RUN OF A FEW THOUSAND COPIES.

HOUSED IN THE SPECIAL COVER WHICH IS USUALLY MISSING OR DAMAGED.

THIS ONE IS CLOSE TO PERFECT AND WITH A RECORD INSIDE TO MATCH THAT GRADING!

IN JULY 1967,WHEN THE RADIO STATION ANNOUNCED THEY WERE CLOSING DOWN ON AUGUST 14TH,THE REACTION WAS HYSTERICAL WITH PROTESTS,MARCHES AND FOR MANY YEARS AFTER ILL FEELING VENTED TOWARD'S THE BBC'S RADIO ONE WHICH THE GOVERNMENT ORDERED TO START TO REPLACE THE PIRATE RADION STATIONS WHICH HAD CHANGED THE WHOLE WAY BRITISH RADIO WOULD SOUND AND HELPED TO MAKE MANY HUGE HIT RECORDS THAT THE BBC REFUSED TO PLAY BEFORE 1967.

THE STATION'S MANAGEMENT ARRANGED FOR THIS EP TO BE MADE FOR MAIL ORDER ONLY TO LISTENERS AFTER THE CLOSURE,WITH A FEW ADVERTS PLACED IN MUSIC PAPERS AND NATURALLY IT WAS HARD TO OBTAIN FOR EVEN 43 YEARS AGO IN NORMAL RECORD SHOPS!

THE MAJORITY OF COPIES REMAIN WITHIN PIRATE RADIO COLLECTIONS AND COPIES RARELY COME UP FOR SALE.......UNTIL NOW!!

THIS COPY HAS PROBABLY ONLY BEEN PLAYED ONCE OR TWICE AND IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ONLY MINOR SURFACE MARKS AND ONLY A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE!

THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A RADIO FAN WHO  BOUGHT THIS AS A SOUVENIR!

SO MANY THAT SURVIVE HAVE MANY MARKS RESULTING IN JUMPS,SKIPS AND CLICKS,THIS COPY DOES NOT HAVE ANY OF THOSE PROBLEMS!

IT WILL BE BOUND TO RISE IN VALUE AND IS A SOLID INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE!

IT ALSO IS A FASCINATING SOUND DOCUMENT OF SOME OF THE UKs BEST EVER DJs TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY HAD BEEN DOING AND WHAT PIRATE RADIO MEANT TO THEM AND OF COURSE LOTS OF JOKES AND SKETCHES TYPICAL OF THE PIRATE RADIO HUMOUR INTERSPERSED WITH THOSE FAMOUS AMERICAN PRODUCED JINGLES!

THE DISC ENDS WITH THE FINAL MOMENTS AND THE CLOSING DOWN THEME AND WILL BRING A TEAR OR TWO TO THE EYE OF ANY NOSTALGIC RADIO FAN!

DJs INCLUDED IN THIS EP ARE:

ED STEWART,PAUL KAY,DUNCAN JOHNSON,KENNY EVERETT,DAVE CASH,TONY WINDSOR,KEITH SKUES,TONY BLACKBURN,PETE DRUMMOND AND JOHN PEEL.

IT HAS A VERY NICE COVER WITH SOME TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE FAINT STAINING  BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

This week and indeed for the next few weeks and months, I am offering up for sale some carefully selected RECORDS COVERING ALL STYLES including some of the hardest to find items from a magnificent lifetime collection that I purchased from a keen AND VERY CAREFUL COLLECTOR WHO ENJOYED ACCUMULATING RATHER THAN ACTUALLY PLAYING THEM!!

THIS COLLECTION HAS BEEN CHASED AFTER BY ME FOR SOME MONTHS AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER WAS UNSURE IF HE WAS FINALLY GOING TO SELL UP OR NOT!! THE DEAL HAS BEEN DONE AND GRADUALLY OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS YOU WILL SEE A MIXTURE OF ORIGINAL PRESSINGS AND SELECTIVE REISSUES OF SUCH QUALITY NOT USUALLY SEEN ON EBAY. SO MANY SELLERS SHOUT ABOVE THE ROOFTOPS BUT ACTUALLY OVERGRADE PUTTING OFF BUYERS FROM TRYING ELSEWHERE-PLEASE TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT MY DAILY CHANGING FEEDBACK-IT SAYS IT ALL!

SO BACK TO THIS COLLECTION-I HAVE SEEN THE HIFI THE RECORDS WERE PLAYED ON-JUST ABOUT THE BEST SOUND SYSTEM I HAVE SEEN IN MANY YEARS-MANY OF THE OLDER TITLES WERE BOUGHT FROM ME WHICH IN TURN WERE SOURCED FROM EX-REVIEWERS AND OTHER FUSSY COLLECTORS.

THE RECORDS WERE STORED UPRIGHT IN A SERIES OF SHELVES IN A STUDY AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT/HEAT AND DAMP.

NO SMOKERS IN THE HOUSE AND ONE OF THE MOST GENUINE AND CHARMING COLLECTORS I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH-THE REASON FOR THE SALE IS SPACE AND A CHANGE OF INTERESTS!

THERE WAS NO NEED FOR ANY CLEANING WITH ANY OF THE ITEMS IN THIS COLLECTION-YOU WILL BE DELIGHTED WITH THESE VINYL TREATS! EVEN I WANTED TO KEEP MOST OF THEM-SOME FANTASTIC OFFERINGS!

 IT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE GRADING IS NOT MINT AS IT HAS BEEN PLAYED BUT IT IS STILL A FANTASTIC EP-MOST DEALERS WOULD  STATE  NEAR MINT!!!
