WHY SO RARE? IN JANUARY 1963 WHILE THIS DISC WAS CHARTING IN THE U.K. , PARLOPHONE RECORDS CEASED PRODUCTION OF THEIR RED LABELED 45's & INTRODUCED THE MORE COMMON BLACK LABELED VERSION. THIS OF COURSE ,MEANT THAT, THE ORIGINAL RED LABELED COPIES WERE ONLY AVAILABLE TO BUY FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IN GREAT BRITAIN.
THIS IS A SUPER CLEAN WELL PRESERVED COPY IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE PLAYING SURFACES DISPLAY LITTLE WEAR WITH A GREAT DEEP GLOSS SHEEN.THERE IS NO WARPING, & THE DISC PLAY'S WITH A GREAT AUDIO, WITH ONLY VERY OCCASIONAL LIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE
THE LABELS- THEY ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH ONLY MINOR COLOUR LOSS.BOTH SIDES HAVE KEPT THEIR DEEP ORIGINAL MATT RED TEXTURE FINISH. SIDE 1 HAS A LITTLE VERY SUPERFICIAL SCUFFING TO THE RIGHT OF THE SONG TITLE. THERE ARE NO UNWANTED BIRO, OR STICKER MARKS
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN IT'S ORIGINAL SUPER CLEAN COMPANY PAPER JACKET, & A CLEAR PLASTIC PROTECTOR.
THIS IS A TOP DRAWER COPY TOO WHICH I OFFER A FULL REFUND IF THE WINNING BIDDER IS NOT SATISFIED WITH MY DESCRIPTION, OR THE ITEM. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING
