	£		34
	$		45

ATTENTION RARE 1960s BEAT GROUP AND LED ZEPPELIN COLLECTORS!

THE FIRST GEAR FEATURING JIMMY PAGE:

"A CERTAIN GIRL"

GREAT GUITARWORK,FIVE YEARS BEFORE LED ZEPPELIN AND PUNCHY PRODUCTION BY SHEL TALMY WHO PROVIDED HIS MAGIC TOUCH TO RECORDS OF THE SAME ERA BY THE WHO AND THE KINKS! 

A VERY RARE 45 BUT A RATHER BELOW STANDARD COPY BUT STILL PLAYS GREAT AND AN IDEAL GAP FILLER UNTIL ANOTHER COMES ALONG BUT THAT MAY NOT BE FOR A LONG TIME!

THIS IS THE ONLY COPY I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS.

AN ORIGINAL 1964 PYE 1ST PRESSING IN GOOD++ (PLAYS MUCH BETTER THAN GOOD++!!!)CONDITION WITH MANY SURFACE MARKS AND SOME SURFACE NOISE/SLIGHT DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE PEAKS AND A FEW SHORT LIVED CLICKS,BUT PLAYS GREAT-NO JUMPS OR STICKS! THICK,FLAT VINYL! PYE 7N 15703 

THE "B"SIDE ="LEAVE MY KITTEN ALONE"

BOTH SIDES HAVE MAGNIFICENT GUITAR BREAKS AND POWERFUL DRUMMING AND DECENT VOCALS!

IN 1964 PYE WERE KEEN TO MATCH THE BEAT GROUP SUCCESSES OF DECCA AND EMI!

THEY DID SCORE VERY WELL AND HAD THE BRAINS AND VISION TO GIVE MANY BANDS A CHANCE+WITH THE LOUD,DEEP CUT MASTERING ENSURED THAT EVEN"KNOCKED ABOUT"COPIES LIKE THIS ONE WOULD STILL PLAY GREAT!!!

MOST SHOPS WOULD GET THIS TO SPECIAL ORDER AND THE PUBLICITY FOR THIS 45 WAS MINIMAL-DON'T FORGET MOST BEAT FANS WERE JUST BUYING WELL KNOWN ARTISTS!

CHECK OUT MY LOW START OF JUST £25!

THE SURFACE MARKS ARE MAINLY THE COVER REMOVAL TYPE-SOME RATHER  DEEP LOOKING MARKS ON THE"B"SIDE THAT YOU CAN FEEL-BUT BARELY SOUND AND NOT A TOTAL DISASTER!

 DON'T BE PUT OFF BY OTHER SELLERS"GOOD"GRADING!!!! 

I HAVE LISTENED TWICE WITH THE TREBLE ON USING TWO DIFFERENT DECKS TO ENSURE CAREFUL GRADING!

THERE IS A LITTLE DISTORTION BUT WITH SOME ADJUSTMENT TO THE TREBLE CONTROL AND IT IS CONSIDERABLY REDUCED-A MONO FILTER SWITCH WOULD BOUND TO CUT IT DOWN-SADLY I DON'T HAVE ONE.

IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC FOR A JUKE BOX OR A 1960s BEAT DJ OR JUST TO OWN AS THERE CAN'T BE MANY COPIES IN EXISTENCE! 

PROVIDING THE ABOVE COMMENTS ARE NOTED,I AM SURE WHO EVER GETS THIS WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE SOUND OF IT-IT WILL BE BETTER THAN A GAP FILLER UNTIL ANOTHER ONE COMES ALONG AND OF COURSE NEAR MINT OR EVEN EXCELLENT ONES ARE GETTING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND,47 YEARS ON,OFTEN FETCHING £200 OR MORE! 

THE COVER IS CLEAN AND NOT A NASTY REPRO!

YOU WILL SEE THERE IS A HOLE DRILLED THROUGH THE LABEL,TWO PEN CROSSES ON EACH LABEL AND A SMALL STICKER ON THE"A"SIDE LABEL AND THERE IS A STORY ABOUT THIS!!!>>

NORWICH COLLECTORS OF A CERTAIN AGE WILL REMEMBER THE OLD NORWICH RECORD EXCHANGE BACK IN THE 1960s AND 1970s RAN BY AN EXPLOSIVE,MAD AND SCARY DEALER WHO WAS PARANOID ABOUT CUSTOMERS BRINGING BACK 45s HE HAD REDUCED TO RESELL AND WENT TO GREAT LENGTHS TO PREVENT IT HENCE THE DRILL HOLE AND CROSSES! 

 IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ACURATE GRADED ORIGINAL 1964 PRESSING OF THIS OFTEN OVERLOOKED AND TOUGH TO FIND 45 -

 THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!  

STRICTLY GRADED  GOOD+++ CONDITION.  

******************************************************************* 

  IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

IDEAL IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THE SKY HIGH PRICE FOR AN EXCELLENT OR BETTER CONDITION COPY IF YOU CAN FIND ONE!

SOMETIMES COPIES HAVE VAGUE DESCRIPTIONS-MINE HAVE IN DEPTH AND TRUTHFUL GRADES SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!

SOME COPIES ARE CLASSED AS POOR AND ARE NO MORE THAN GAP FILLERS LIKELY TO PRODUCE DREADFUL SOUND QUALITY! 

BACK IN  1964 WHEN THIS 45 WAS MADE, THE MAJORITY OF EQUIPMENT USED RUINED ANY COPY WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS.DON'T FORGET THOSE PARTIES WHERE SUCH 45s WERE PLAYED AND ENDED UP LEFT LYING AROUND WITHOUT A COVER OR ON A TURNTABLE TO WARP AND ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT,SPILLAGES,SCUFFS,SCRATCHES etc etc.

SO BACK TO THE DISC>>>>>> 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION! THIS COPY IS A GOOD+++ CONDITION GRADING-FAR FROM IMMACULATE BUT PLAYS REALLY WELL!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear this great music AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

GREAT SOUND!  MORE BASS THAN CD! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH. MANY EBAY SELLERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO PLAY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SELL!!!

BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!!!! 

Look elsewhere on ebay and you might see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often WITHOUT THE DETAIL I AM PROVIDING WITH TOTAL HONESTY.

HOPEFULLY THE WINNER WILL FIND THIS COPY A BIT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

Don't forget GENUINE 1964 UK pressings in nice conditions are getting IMPOSSIBLE to find! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!
