Description

Classic British freakbeat/R&B, three-track Oak label acetate recorded at the famous R G Jones studio in Morden in 1964.  Unissued at the time, and only a couple of copies thought to be in existence.  I bought this copy many years ago from the session's engineer/producer, who was a staff member at the studio.  Condition is VG, with planty of marks and some surface noise, and 'Aw Shucks Hush Your Mouth' (on Side Two) has a kind of pressing hiss for about two-thirds of the song - but it plays throughout without jumping or sticking, and still has a clean, crisp sound.  As can be seen, the Oak demodisc label is only on Side One (which is the side that has 'Here 'Tis' and 'Crackin' Up') - the other side (which has 'Aw Shucks Hush Your Mouth') has no label.  A real monster item that's unlikely to ever be offered again!
