THE SEVENS Little Girl I Know b/w My Mother (Layola L17-221) RARE Swiss Freakbeat 1st Pressing EX
Very RARE original Swiss first pressing of The Sevens single "Little Girl I Know" b/w "My Mother" on Layola Records (1966).
Local heroes The Sevens from Basel were the first Swiss beat band to record a whole album`s worth of (mostly) self-penned material. The eponymously-titled "The Sevens" is famously sought after by beat collectors worldwide. Not far behind in desirability lurk the original singles by the band whose first seven-inch was co-produced by none other than Giorgio Moroder. "Little Girl I Know", the fourth of a total of six "Sevens" singles was recorded in mid-1966. Another truly rare "objet du désir", especially in such nice condition!
GRADING:
VG+ SLEEVE in fine condition for its age. Please see photos for details.
- Small seam split (1 ½ inches) to the spine (at left).
- Small name of previous owner written on the front (at top left).
- Minor record imprint on back cover, from long-time storage.
- A bit of wear to the opening edge, with a small tear/incision.
- Slight bit of creasing, especially to corner, at bottom right.
VG+ to EX RECORD in very fine all-round condition.
- Peerless audio reproduction throughout.
- Visually EX+ with light general hairlining, from sleeve removal only.
- Minor crackle in the run-in, as well as in the run-off grooves.
- A few light abrasions, but no actual scratches whatsoever.
- Some surface irregularities (slight bubbling) from the original production process. These (very small) bubbles do not affect play in any way.
- Semi-matt blue Layola Records labels with original center-hole. Both labels are in near-perfect condition.
- The record is very slight convex, so that the outer edge of the single curves upwards (c. 1mm) when Side B is played. Again, no actual effect on play at all!
- The matrix stamps in the run-off grooves read "L 17 - 221 A - Made in Switzerland" and "L 17 - 221 B - Made in Switzerland".
- This record is fully certified to be an original Swiss first pressing of The Sevens` "Little Girl I Know" (1966).
