Description
ATTENTION 1960s BEAT GROUP AND 1960s EPs COLLECTORS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1964 E.P.-THE FIRST UK EP BY WAYNE FONTANA AND THE MINDBENDERS:"ROADRUNNER". THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ATTENTION OR SALES FOR THIS E.P. WHICH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OR EVEN WEEKS OF ISSUE! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY ESPECIALLY AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE! REALLY EXCELLENT GUTSY VERSIONS OF R&B CLASSICS AND OFTEN OVERLOOKED!
ISSUED IN 1964(51 YEARS AGO!) ON THE PHILIPS PRESSED"ROUGH TEXTURED" FONTANA LABEL:TE 17421 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1E/2E MATRIXES.
THE RECORD HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH JUST A FEW FAINT SURFACE MARKS BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO LOUD CLICKS,JUMPS OR STICKS. CLEAN LABELS WITH NO WRITING.
STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION.PLAYS SUPERB!
HOUSED IN THE USUALLY MISSING THIN PAPER DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE.
THE LAMINATED+FLIPBACK COVER HAS SOME SLIGHT STAINING AT THE BACK AND SOME ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS AND STILL VERY PRESENTABLE. THERE IS A LOW,REALISTIC £10 STARTING PRICE FOR AN E.P. WHICH RARELY TURNS UP.
REGULAR CUSTOMERS WILL KNOW THAT FOR MANY YEARS I HAVE STUCK TO FRIDAY NIGHTS TO END MY AUCTIONS FOR SINGLES/EPs AND MONDAY NIGHTS FOR LPs,HOWEVER AS I HAVE MANY INTERESTING AND IN MANY CASES,RARE SINGLES WAITING TO BE AUCTIONED,I HAVE DECIDED TO HAVE AN E.P. ONLY AUCTION NIGHT ENDING ON MY USUAL LP/MONDAY NIGHT(MARCH 16TH)SO BEAR THIS IN MIND IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON ANY OF THESE SCARCE RECORDS! THANK YOU!
