RICHARD STOUTE

- What Bag I’m In

- Pretty Blue Eyes

TREX Records ORIGINAL PRESSING B 237

RIDICULOSLY RARE and such an amazing soul dancer.

So rare that this is the exact copy used to master the reissue
that came out a few years back.   The original masters were lost in a fire
many years ago.  Hardly ever turns up on the collectors market for
sale, just a couple of copies surfaced 6 or so years ago and rightly disappeared
fast as lightning into connoisseurs  collections.

Original first press from Barbados.

Plain brown vintage sleeve.  Clean labels with no stickers or drill holes
or pen etc.

GRADING:

What Bag I’m In – This side retains its beautiful gloss but you can see
some superficial scuffing, under a bright light you can see a few more
very small surface marks.   Play graded as: The track plays very very
nicely, deep and loud, if it wasn’t a decent copy it wouldn’t have been
a good source master for the reissue.  For the first 5 rotations, some of
the tiny scuffs do cause a low level staticy sounding crackle, not perfect
but also not much of an issue and not a problem for the DJ.
Overall I’d grade comfortably as VG+ (with the first few seconds being VG).
As decent as you’d realistically ever to expect to find this super rarity.

Pretty Blue Eyes – This side has a strange looking surface abrasion on
one side of the vinyl, like a large scuff and a couple of other light marks.
Play graded as: Starts off with some very light crackle, not too loud, gets
better but occasionally you notice it again, that larger abrasion not proving
to be as bad as it looks  - but this record is not about the flip. 
I’d grade this side as VG.

Hope that helps, just ask if you have any questions or if this is one record
you have been waiting so long for and understandably just HAVE to have,
you can always make me a sensible offer via messages prior to any bids.

Reluctant sale.  What a piece of music, so distinct.  A stand out track.
A Holy Soul Grail as they say.
