You are bidding on the following item:
Artist: Ocean Colour Scene
Release year: 1995
Release label: MCA
Title: ‘You've Got It Bad'
Barcode: unbarcoded. This is a promo only copy marked up 'OCS1'
This record is from my own collection and purchased back in 1996, when I first hooked on this band around the 1996 release of 'Moseley Shoals'. Do not underestimate the rarity of this record! You can see that this release pre-dated the first single of that album, 'The Riverboat Song' (issued 5th February 1996) by at least two months based on the 1995 labelling detail, and was clearly planned as the first single MCA based on the catalogue number of 'OCS1'. This vinyl single was pressed in tiny quantities and issued to press and music industry contacts to stimulate interest in the band. (Ultimately this release became the second single off the album, being released March 26th 1996, and was replaced after Chris Evan's promotion of the band on TFI, playing 'The Riverboat Song', launching the band into UK 'Brit Pop' movement with a bang!).
Format: 7” black vinyl record in thin delicate black and white sleeve. The track 'You've Got it Bad' is replicated on both sides and has a quick fade and lasts around 3:55.
Condition: This is a really rare single, and the only that I ever owned fully signed by the band from the classic line up to 2003, Damon Minchella (bass), Steve Cradock (guitar), Oscar Harrison (drums) and Simon Fowler (guitar and vocals). The outer cover is harshly graded as excellent condition, due to minimal yellowing, minimal finger marks and minimal grubby points on the sleeve. You can tell that the band has signed a small pile of these covers as there is minimal rubbing on both front and rear panels where they have touched other ink surfaces (see pictures). A lovely looking cover and this would look amazing framed with strong, fine felt pen signatures! This is a rare record, with only produced as a few hundred press, if they ever come up the soft, porous sleeves are covered in stains, creased etc. I have photographed under harsh halogen lighting to highlight any defect! The record is harshly graded sonically as excellent condition, and plays the loud, dynamic track well on both sides with very minor background noise. Record is harshly graded visually as excellent plus condition, with a nice glossy surface, and overall minimal hairline markings, and looks unplayed with no spindle marks.
