Description

Sale provides a unique and exceedingly rare opportunity, for beginners and established collectors of rare vinyl alike, to acquire an unplayed copy of Emotions by The Pretty Things. Released as Fontana Special SFL 13140 in 1970, as a reissue of their 1967 album of the same name, this stereo Long Play, near mint vinyl record, with liner bag and near mint fully laminated outer sleeve, was acquired by the seller whilst working for the record company; in London during the late 1970's. Forming part disposal of the Company record library and as an unplayed file copy, this record was never played and has never been played since acquisition by the seller. Visually, the playing surface of the record is unblemished, as anyone wishing to finally play this rare LP would soon discover. Having been stored for many years, together with other rare records currently for sale on ebay and now forming part disposal of my own vast library of original 7" and 12" singles, EP's and albums, accumulated over many years, this is a reluctant sale of a truly treasured possession and a one-off opportunity to acquire this must-have addition to any seriously advanced vinyl record collection. Sale provides a golden opportunity for any fans of The Pretty Things, or indeed, anyone wishing to acquire original pop memorabilia, or just generally interested in the popular music of the 1960/70's. The starting price for this auction reflects the condition of the disc, outer sleeve and liner bag, which other than minimal handling wear to the sleeve, which has separated slightly at the top, clearly shown in the photographs supporting the sale, are all in otherwise terrific condition, so don't delay, start bidding, as I am confident that this rare and highly collectable record will not last very long.
For the technically minded ebayers amongst us, factory stampings and/or hand etchings on the centre "mirror" area of the disc are as follows:

  • A Side - 859085 1Y//1 420 122 - factory stamped during the manufacturing process
  • B Side - 859085 2Y//1 420 131 - factory stamped during the manufacturing process
 As a footnote, the 420 suffix indicates that the record was cut and pressed at the Philips Phonodisc plant (later Polygram) based at Walthamstow, London E4
