MOTOWN COVER

THE BIRDS

"LEAVING HERE"

b/w

"NEXT IN LINE"

(UK: Decca F.12140, 1965)

Record conditon: Excellent +++

Label condition: Slight mark on B-side

I've waited until I was competent enough to add pictures before I auction off some of my more desirable items. This is a superb copy of The Birds' "Leaving Here", a cover of a Motown standard. Exceptional in it's own right, it is made all the more collectable by the presence of future Rolling Stone Roy Wood in the line-up. In fact, he penned the fantastic B-side, which is almost a carbon copy of the Stones' style. I've included a scan of that side, which has a slight green sticker-removal mark near the spindle. The A-side label is spotless. The vinyl itself is exceptionally clear. The "Next In Line" side is almost mint, while "Leaving Here" has just one "spiders web". The sound quality is as good as it gets, and the single comes in a period Decca sleeve.

I previously had a 700+ feedback record, with 99.99 positive remarks, so bid with confidence.

LATE ADDITION:

I have removed the Decca cover in order to get a larger scan of the label. The cover is still in the auction.
