HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO BID FOR A VERY HARD TO FIND ADVANCED DEMONSTRATION COPY OF A UK 1971 NON-HIT SINGLE OF A FANTASTIC TUNE THAT WAS USED FOR A CULT TV DRAMA SERIES THAT BEGAN IN 1969:"STRANGE REPORT".
A BIG PRODUCTION ORCHESTRAL TUNE IN LAURIE JOHNSON ACTION STYLE COMPOSED AND CONDUCTED BY ROGER WEBB. THERE WERE HARDLY ANY COPIES SOLD-INFACT I HAVE NEVER FOUND A "STOCK COPY" OF THIS SINGLE BEFORE! THE"B"SIDE IS A MELLOW JAZZ-WALTZ WITH ROGER'S PIANO TO THE FORE:"SUMMER FANCY". IF YOU LIKE "LIBRARY"/"MOOD MUSIC"-YOU'LL LOVE BOTH SIDES OF THIS VERY RARE SINGLE! GREAT SOUND! WIDE STEREO MIXES AND LOOKS FANTASTIC IN THIS MEGA-RARE DEMO PRESSING!. EMI PRESSED COLUMBIA DB 8803 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE -1/-1 MATRIXES WITH THE ALTERNATIVE LABEL DESIGN INCLUDING THE WHITE"A"ON THE "A"SIDE AND THE DEMONSTRATION RECORD-NOT FOR SALE WORDING UNLIKE THE STANDARD LABELS! NO WRITING OR STAINING UNLIKE MOST LABELS! NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH GLEAMING SURFACES-NO SURFACE MARKS-HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! SUPERB EMI QUALITY SOUND! SHOULD THERE BE NO BIDS-I WILL KEEP IT AS I REALLY ENJOYED THIS RECORD!
BACK IN 1971,DEMO RECORDS WERE MADE IN A QUANTITY OF APPROX 250-500 A FEW WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE RELEASE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
THE NUMBER MADE LIKE THIS WERE PROBABLY NO MORE THAN A FEW HUNDRED AS THERE WERE NOT MANY RADIO STATIONS OR RECORD REVIEWERS IN THE UK IN 1971 WITH MAYBE JUST A FEW INDUSTRY PEOPLE,PRODUCERS,FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THE ARTIST AND THE OCCASIONAL IMPORTANT VISITOR TO THE RECORD COMPANY!
EITHER WAY,IT'S STILL ONE OF THE EARLIEST!
THE MAJORITY WERE PLAYED AND BADLY DAMAGED,THROWN OUT OR IN THE HANDS OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS WHO WILL NEVER SELL!
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A COPY LIKE THIS BEFORE WHICH WAS SENT TO A FORMER BBC RADIO 1 DJ,WHO HAS KEPT IT CAREFULLY FILED AWAY FOR MANY YEARS AWAY FROM LIGHT AND HEAT ON SHELVES IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION.THE ORIGINAL COLUMBIA COVER IS IN NICE SHAPE.
YOU MAY NEVER SEE THIS 45 AGAIN LIKE THIS!LOOKS GREAT!!! TRY AND FIND ANOTHER DEMO COPY LIKE THIS ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE! MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE WITH THIS RARE VARIATION ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITIONS AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH 1970s DEMO 45s!
MOST COPIES WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND NOT TO PUT AWAY FOR THE FUTURE! FACT!!
