THE ARTWOODS 1965 DECCA ~ A LABEL  " DEMONSTRATION  NOT FOR SALE RECORD" 

A JET BLACK GLEAMING, VINYL 45 ~ BARELY PLAYED!!

Collected by my relative  in the 60's & passed to me in the 70,s probably played a couple of times by an  un~hip  disc jockey & then discarded under a pile of filed note papers etc which have kept it in quite unbelievable condition....

in 2008 these just DO NOT turn up & if ever one does then it will probably be boot fair garage sale fodder no better than VG..

RARELY EVER TURNS UP IN ORIGINAL  DEMO FORM.
SCARCE INDEED!!!
