ATTENTION SERIOUS LATE 1950s/EARLY 1960s TEEN POP/ROCK AND ROLL+JOE MEEK RELATED COLLECTORS!!!

ALLEN BROTHERS "PRETTY KEEN TEEN"

AN EXCELLENT UPTEMPO ROCK AND ROLL/TEEN BEAT/POPCORN TYPE HARMONY DUO EFFORT TYPICAL OF ABOUT 1959 THAT I AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS ISSUED IN THE UK AS IT IS NOT IN THE PRICE GUIDE AND ALTHOUGH THE LABEL SAYS LICENSED BY PYE RECORDS,ENGLAND,THIS IS A MISTAKE AS I NNOW HAVE HAD IT CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS AN AUSTRALIAN RECORDING BUT THERE IS NO AUSTRALIAN ACCENT IN THE VOCALS!!

THE VOCAL DUO INCLUDES PETER ALLEN WHO WENT ON TO WRITE"I GO TO RIO"AND CO-WROTE"ARTHURS THEME"and"I HONESTLY LOVE YOU".THE 45 I HAVE WAS HIS FIRST RECORDING!

WRITTEN BY GEOFF GODDARD,WHO OF COURSE WORKED CLOSELY WITH JOE MEEK ON MANY SONGS,THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE LAST SONGS HE WROTE BEFORE THAT ASSOCIATION.

OF COURSE IT IS POSSIBLE,MEEK HAD A GO WITH THE SONG,AS HE MADE MANY UNRELEASED DEMOS AND IT IS POSSIBLE GEOFF PASSED IT ON TO HIM!

LABEL STATES A & R NORMAN BURNS.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS 45 BEFORE AND SEVERAL MAJOR COLLECTORS AND DEALERS ARE ALSO PUZZLED BY THIS DISCOVERY!!!

PLEASE SEE THE RESPONSE AT THE BOTTOM FROM A VERY HELPFUL AUSTRALIAN EBAYER!

AUSTRALIAN PYE PP 065

NOTE THE EXCITING LABEL VARIATION STYLE COMPARED TO THE BRITISH MAROON ONE!

THE SAME"SPIN WITH THE STARS"DESIGN COVER BUT WITH DIFFERENT BACKGROUND COLOUR! 

THE"B"SIDE IS"THERE'S NO NEED",A BALLAD WRITTEN BY THE BOYS WITH FEMALE COOING BACKGROUND VOCALS. 

THIS IS GETTING HARD TO FIND AS A UK 45 IN 2010!

A NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION EXAMPLE WITH A FEW LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AND PLAYS GREAT!

HOW MANY SURVIVE AROUND 50 YEARS LATER AS GOOD AS THIS ONE????

IT'S STILL IN IT'S ORIGINAL,AUSTRALIAN PYE COVER WITH JUST THE TITLES WRITEN ON ONE SIDE AND A DATE 1959 AND A SMALL TEAR ON THE OTHER SIDES CENTRE! 

MOST COPIES HAVE NOW ENDED UP IN LONG TERM COLLECTORS COLLECTIONS AND ARE GETTING LESS FREQUENT ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN 2010!!!

NOT A DODGY REPRO AS MAY EXIST

THIS IS A GENUINE UK 45!!

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE!! 

DUE TO A LACK OF SPACE AND THE REALISATION THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO PLAY THE MAJORITY OF MY HUGE COLLECTION,I AM PRUNING DOWN SELECTED ITEMS.

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN STRICTLY GRADED NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION.

MANY WOULD STATE  EXCELLENT!

NO CLICKS/NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO SWISHES!  

THESE 45s WERE USUALLY PLAYED A LOT AT PARTIES, OFTEN LEFT OUT OF THE COVER,BADLY TREATED OR EVEN THROWN OUT AFTER USE!

HARDLY ANY THOUGHT LONG TERM INVESTMENT!!!!

The Mono mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

Vinyl is still the best way to hear this music and always will be!   A FANTASTIC AND FASCINATING ITEM!

GREAT INVESTMENT FROM ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING RECORD EXPERTS! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.  

THE PRINT IS STILL CLEAR TO READ.

THE COVER IS IN SUPER ORDER!

Look elsewhere on ebay and MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often FAKES,reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTO! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
