Description

Item :

Deleted 1968 RCA Stereo 14-track LP.

Description :

Extremely rare and hard to find psychedelic-era classic vinyl. Skip Bifferty was a rock band formed in early 1966, when The Chosen Few (Featuring Alan Hull, later of Lindisfarne) from Newcastle upon Tyne changed their name and got a new singer, Graham Bell. Their outings on vinyl were few and far between, but included the 1967 (released 1968) album Skip Bifferty, recently released with bonus Radio tracks as "The Story of Skip Bifferty" on Sanctuary Records. Some of their songs were covered by established artistes such as Cilla Black, The Tremeloes and The Kingsmen ("Louie Louie"). They had a following on the "live" circuit and are remembered with great affection. Their manager was Don Arden, father of Sharon Osbourne. They went through some personnel changes (Paul Nichols drums on Heavy Jelly). Bassist Colin Gibson went on to work with Ginger Baker, Bert Jansch, Alvin Lee, Van Morrison amongst others. John Turnbull (gtr) and Mick Gallagher (Pno) reappeared in 1977 as The Blockheads, backing Ian Dury.

Condition ~ Vinyl :

Vinyl is in EXCELLENT condition with hardly any sign of wear or play.

Lovely copy that plays superbly throughout. Even has the original marketing 'letter' from Ralph Records insert.

Condition ~ Sleeve :

The sleeve is in very good shape with a few light creases to be expected on a cover of this vintage and a minor crease bottom left. No drawing, writing or pen marks just a small amount of scuffing and dust marks as would be expected. The fore edge (where the record is inserted) shows some sign of shelf wear mainly because the lamination does not extend quite to the edge.

Condition ~ Labels :

Centre labels show only barely visible spindle wear. Appears to have been played rarely by careful owner.

Miscellaneous :

Low starting price and no reserve so get bidding !!!
