Description
ONE OF THE FINEST AND EARLIEST PURE 'SKA' SINGLES FROM STRANGER COLE 'UNO DOS TRES' / 'LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP'.
RELEASED ON THE UK BLACK SWAN LABEL IN 1964 THIS SUPERB COPY OF THE BRILLIANT DOUBLE SIDER PLAYGRADES IN A LOVELY EXCELLENT TO EX MINUS GRADING AND STILL SOUNDS AMAZING 55 YEARS AFTER RELEASE.
THIS REALLY IS A GORGEOUS PLAYING COPY WHICH NEVER APPEARS FOR SALE.
(PLEASE ALSO CHECK OUT MY OTHER REALLY RARE REGGAE AND SKA SINGLES).
FABULOUS SKA ORIGINAL from my own collection. Super SKA/BLUEBEAT SINGLE from STRANGER COLE 'UNO DOS TRES' / 'LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP'. It was released on the UK BLACK SWAN label in 1964.
AS IF THIS SINGLE WASNT HARD ENOUGH TO FIND THIS IS THE UBER RARE UK PRESS FOUR PRONG PUSH OUT CENTRE VERSION WITH INTACT CENTRE. THIS IS MUCH HARDER TO FIND THAN THE SOLID CENTRE VERSION.
Have you ever seen another copy on Ebay, especially in this condition. Unlikely you will get another chance so grab a piece of SKA Royalty.
It has survived with only MINOR surface scuffing (not affecting sound). There is hardly a hint of static and nothing that detracts from the music.
The 'A' side LABEL is Very Good Plus and has NO Writing, Stickers or Tears but the 'B' side label does have some label issues with pen and fraying centre (see pics for exact condition).
The SINGLE PLAYGRADES AT EXCELLENT (EX) condition and RARELY COMES UP FOR SALE.
It is supplied in its near mint BLACK SWAN Repro sleeve and a poly sleeve for extra protection.
This record virtually never comes up for sale on Ebay. I grade strictly to the Rare Record Grading System and include a definition of grading below:
Rare Record Collector Grading: EX (EXCELLENT)
EXCELLENT: Description: The record shows some minor signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. May have the occasional hint of staic or crackle but not affecting the music quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
I will ONLY SEND this 'SIGNED FOR'. POSTAGE IS FREE ON THIS SINGLE (with Royal Mail Tracked 48)
I offer a no quibble returns on my vinyl (buyer pays return postage).
Please contact me if any issues asap.
I always offer combined postage. Three singles for same price. Buy another single/s with this and get them all posted freeprice rating
