Description After taking some time off from Ebay (for personal reasons) a couple years ago, I'm ready to continue parting with items from my collection of nearly 40,000 promo singles, LP's & CD's from the 60's thru the 90's that I was fortunate to acquire from doing 35 years of Rock Radio. All of my records are guaranteed original pressings.In the 80's I advertised and auctioned off thousands of records in Goldmine magazine under the name of Hemp's Hits.If you are a previous customer, you already know of my integrity as an honest dealer. Those of you who are not familiar with me need only to check my Feedback. You can bid with complete confidence.These records were sorted, stored, moved a few times, and then stored again for decades. Some carefully, others were not.All of my gradings are strictly visual, and more often than not, quite generous. However, because of various quality in pressings,I cannot guarantee that the pressings themselves will be noise-free. That comes with the territory.Many 50's (e.g. Chess, Vee-Jay, etc.) & 60's pressings, especially the small independent labels, were pressed "on-the-cheap."____________________________________MY GRADING SCALEGrading below is for the disc only. I'll throw in the corresponding sleeve when possible.Sleeves show some natural wear from 40 years of storage. Many are perfect, others are not.(remember...unless noted,these records, to the best of my knowledge have never been played)NM (Near Mint): Record will show no serious scuffs or scratches in the playing area. May have minor scuffs on edges from decades of storage, or a small scuff, scratch or paper scuff on playing area. It's near mint, not mint (which would be 'sealed' to me)M- : A scuff or two or light scratch or two on either or both sides.VG+: Scuffs and some minor scratches in the playing area. Some will most likely be heard.VG: Many scuffs or scratches that will be heard but record should play fine.Record grading is subjective. That's why I offer a money back guarantee on everything I sell (no refunds on shipping charges). Bid with complete confidence.

Either they didn't stay together very long, or moved out of town. All I can recallwas an extremely personable member...a Brit who treated me (much younger) with more respect than I deserved. Always liked these guys...sorry I lost track of them.This is one of the rarest, if not the rarest of all Fenton discs. This is our 'on-air' studio copy that was played often, and handled just as many times, but really plays wonderfully.Ignore the visual grading, and listen for yourself to the actual clip below.)This record does not appear on the 'Scream Loud' box set OVERSEAS BIDDERS: Please read special circumstances regarding this record in the 'shipping' information box above.YOU CAN HEAR A CLIP FROM THIS RECORD WITH THE LINK BELOW. I USE A SHURE V-15 CARTRIDGE TIED FOR MONO FOR MY MONO 45'S TO MINIMIZE NOISE.THIS RECORD COULD SOUND NOISER WITH A STEREO CARTRIDGE.YOU CAN HEAR A CLIP (at 80k) FROM THE A-SIDE HERE(Need I mention that the record itself will sound better than this low-fi file?)
