The Termites - Mercy - Mr Percy/ Soul Brothers - Hot And Cold
(Studio One Records SO 2006 UK 7" Single 1967)
This is a 1967 UK 1st pressing 7" single. Unfortunately, this is a very heavily played copy. However, it is still just about playable albeit with heavy crackle & some clicks. It does not jump. This came from a UK Reggae/ Ska DJ who operated in the 1960's & 1970's. In addition the artist & catalogue number has been rubbed out on the A-side & B-side labels (see photos). This was a common practice with Sound System DJs at the time. This was to protect their "killer" tunes from being copied by other DJs.
The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has textured paper Studio One labels. These have a 4 pronged centre. The record has 1st press SO+2006-A and SO+2006-B matrix numbers. These are machine etched in the dead wax respectively. It comes with an original period company plain white paper sleeve.
I have some other rare 1960's Reggae/ Ska 7" Singles for sale too. So please see my other listings.
Vinyl: Unfortunately, as mentioned, this is a very heavily played copy. As stated, it came from a Reggae/ Ska Deejay from the 60's & 70's. They were played to death in the clubs & were not well taken care of. This was often the case back in the day. I guess this copy would be described as being pretty knackered! There is considerable surface wear. There are considerable light, mild, very mild or more moderate hairline surface marks. There is considerable surface sleeve rubs, or surface rub marks, which can be seen under a strong light. Overall, this single is in Fair condition. The Labels are in Fair condition. As stated, there is some DJ rubbing out on both sides. There is also some writing on the A-side label. There is mild to more moderate spindle wear & mild to more moderate rubbing wear & ringwear.
The company plain paper sleeve is in Very Good++ condition. There is some light, very mild or very minor ringwear, fading & creasing. There are no seam splits.
I have fully play tested this 7" single in its entirety & it is only just a playable copy. It plays Fair to Fair+ overall. There is some mild, more moderate or moderate, and sometimes more considerable, crackle throughout both sides. The crackle is quite prominent - so please bear this in mind when bidding. However, it does play through without any jumps or skips. There are some light, mild or very mild intermittent clicks on some areas. They are not too noticeable against the crackle.
