	£		43
	$		57

ATTENTION EARLY AMERICAN SOUL/R&B,LONDON LABEL & 1960s EP COLLECTORS!

THIS IS SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION + A VERY GOOD CONDITION COVER-FULL GRADING BELOW!

A VERY IMPORTANT RECORD TO ANY LONDON LABEL OR AMERICAN SOUL COLLECTOR!

THE VERY EARLIEST UK PRESSING OF THE 1961 EP: GENE McDANIELS"100 1bs. OF CLAY". DECCA PRESSED LONDON LABELS:RE-G 1298 +THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1C/1C MATRIXES.

THIS EP HAD MINIMAL PUBLICITY AND QUICKLY DELETED DUE TO HARDLY ANY SALES-MAINLY AS BRITISH SINGER CRAIG DOUGLAS HAVING THE BRITISH HIT VERSION OF THE TITLE TRACK!

IN 1961 MOST BUYERS WERE OPTING FOR SINGLES AS EP's WERE TWICE THE PRICE OF SINGLES AND AS SUCH FEWER WERE MADE AND SOLD-MANY SHOPS GETTING THEM TO SPECIAL ORDER ONLY-THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF THE HARDEST TO FIND LONDON LABEL EPs!   

THE DISC HAS ONLY THE VERY FAINTEST AND TINIEST OF SURFACE MARKS IN VERY STRONG LIGHT AND JUST A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE WHEN HEARD AT HIGH VOLUME AND WITH THE TREBLE ON-A FEW ISOLATED POPS BUT NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS-PLAYS SUPERB! THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS A STAIN AT THE FRONT BOTTOM LEFT CORNER AND A COUPLE OF SIMILAR STAINS AT THE BACK-LOOKS LIKE DRINK SPILLAGE TO ME.THERE ARE SOME MINOR EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS. THE LABELS ARE SHARP,BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH NO FADING,NO STAINING,NO WRITING,HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.

THE ORIGINAL PVC INNER BAG IS INCLUDED-USUALLY MISSING!

TO FIND AN EXCELLENT CONDITION EXAMPLE AS IN THIS CASE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AND AS SUCH THE STARTING PRICE IS £15 BUT DO EXPECT KEEN INTEREST IN THIS AUCTION ON A RECORD WHICH WOULD BE A JOY TO OWN AND I SHALL BE SAD TO SEE IT GO.

JUST ONE OWNER SINCE 1961.I WOULD ESTIMATE A DOZEN PLAYS!

THIS IS THE FIRST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN IN 26 YEARS AS A DEALER!         FAR BETTER THAN MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE!

 A LOW,REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF JUST £15. THIS COULD BE YOUR VERY LAST CHANCE TO OWN ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL LONDON LABEL EPs!  

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

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME!

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 TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.  

THE PRINT IS STILL VERY CLEAR AND SHARP.

THE COVER IS IN SUPER ORDER!

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 EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "NEAR  MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.
