Description

Here is the debut single by The Sweet. Released in 1968, this was the bands unsuccessful foray into Psychedelia before finding chart success with Glam Rock in the 1970s. This super rare single on the Fontana label is in fantastic condition. Shiny pro-cleaned vinyl with the bare minimum of the lightest of hairline sleeve scratches. This plays fantastically as the link below to my YouTube video will reveal.

If this was a less valuable single I would be inclined to grade as NM, but because of its scarcity and high value and the Date stamped on the A side label, I will err towards VG+ for both sides; only the minimum of surface noise on the run in and run out grooves, being heard on playback. I doubt if a better copy will be in circulation for some time, if ever.

It comes with the original Fontana company sleeve (as far as I know), which I am grading as VG due to some creasing and the previous owners' categorisation number written in biro in the top corner.

Bidding starts super low at 99p to give everyone interested a look in with no reserve.

Last sold on Discogs in September this year for over £900 in NM condition, this does not come up often.

I will only send by Royal Mail Special Delivery; insured.

Please feel free to message if you have any questions

Up for 7 days.

Happy Bidding !
