Description
A RARE 1966 P S DANISH ISSUE MONO SINGLE - CBS 202 307. SIDE A: RAINY DAY WOMEN #12 & 35 [ A 2:26 EDIT OF THE 4:35 ALBUM TRACK WITH VERSES THREE AND FIVE MISSING], SIDE B: PLEDGING MY TIME
[ A 2:06 EDIT OF THE 3:48 ALBUM TRACK WITH VERSE 2 MISSING ].
THIS A SIDE WAS SPEEDED UP BY 2% FROM THE ORIGINAL MONO MASTER TO GIVE A LIVELIER SOUND TO GET MORE RADIO AIRPLAY !!
THIS DANISH SINGLE WAS A UK PRESSING EXPORTED TO DENMARK - THIS HAPPENED A LOT IN SCANDINAVIA IN THE '60s AS THE NORWEGIAN PLANT COULD NOT ALWAYS MEET DEMAND. THE LOCALLY PRINTED SLEEVE DESIGN IS UNIQUE TO DENMARK AND WAS USED FOR BOTH UK AND NORWAY PRESSED SINGLES. THE UNIQUE SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT AT THE CLOSED SIDE EDGES BUT HAS BEEN REPAIRED INSIDE THE BOTTOM EDGE WITH SCOTCH MAGIC TAPE WHICH DOES NOT YELLOW OR DRY OUT, THE CENTRAL REPAIR STILL LEAVES A SMALLER SPLIT NEAR EACH SIDE. THE TOP OPEN EDGE HAS ONLY SLIGHT WEAR AND THERE IS FEINT STAINING ONHE FRONT AND REAR OF THE SLEEVE - SEE THE PICTURES. THIS IS A VERY RARE SINGLE.
CBS SCANDINAVIAN 7" SINGLES WERE NORMALLY ALL PRESSED IN NORWAY FOR CBS BY POLYGRAM
( WITH A THREE-PRONGED PUSH-OUT CENTRE ), WITH THE COUNTRIES OF NORWAY, SWEDEN AND DENMARK USING LOCALLY-PRINTED SLEEVES. THE DANISH AND NORWEGIAN FOLDED SLEEVES WERE PLAIN WHITE ON THE REVERSE, THE SWEDISH SLEEVE WAS FOLDED WITH THE SAME DESIGN ON BOTH SIDES.
THIS SINGLE HOWEVER IS UNIQUE IN THAT SWEDEN PRESSED ITS OWN SINGLE SEPARATELY (WITH A FOUR PRONGED PUSH-OUT CENTRE), AND THAT RECORD HAS "MADE IN SWEDEN" ON THE LABELS.
THIS UK PRESSED SINGLE ALSO HAS THE FOUR-PRONGED PUSH-OUT CENTRE.
AS A GENERAL RULE CBS PRESSING PLANTS PRODUCED FOUR PRONG PUSH-OUT CENTRES, PHILIPS AND POLYGRAM PRESSING PLANTS PRODUCED THREE PRONG PUSH-OUT CENTRES, AND THEY CONTRACT PRESSED CBS SINGLES IN THIS ERA TO MEET DEMAND.
THIS SINGLE IS MEGA RARE AND THIS IS THE ONLY COPY I HAVE EVER OFFERED FOR SALE, THE START PRICE REFLECTS THE SLEEVE DEFECTS BUT ALSO THE RARITY.
