IT INCLUDES SOME OF HIS BEST TRACKS THAT INCLUDES THE INFLUENCES OF 1960s R&B AND 1960s ROCK.THE HIGHLIGHT BEING THE PAUL McCARTNEY COMPOSITION "CAT CALL" COMPOSED DIRECTLY FOR THIS ALBUM WITH PAUL BEING ONE OF THE CAT CALLERS AND PROVIDING A COVER CREDITED "YELL"! BRIAN AUGER,VIV PRINCE AND GIORGIO GOMELSKY ARE ALSO INCLUDED.

THE TITLE TRACK HAS BEEN A FAVOURITE WITH MODS WITH IT'S UPTEMPO,JERKY RHYTHM PATTERNS AND THERE IS A VERY NICE VERSION WITH HARMONY VOCALS OF THE CURTIS MAYFIELD SONG "PEOPLE GET READY". 

 ONE OF THE RAREST BRITISH JAZZ ALBUMS TO BE ISSUED IN 1969 THAT HAD MINIMAL ATTENTION AND SALES DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE ONLY TO BE REISSUED WITHIN A YEAR ON THE POLYDOR LABEL WHICH IS FAR EASIER TO FIND AND OF MINIMAL INTEREST TO COLLECTORS.

THIS 1ST EDITION IS SO HARD TO FIND 45 YEARS LATER IN 2014 ESPECIALLY IN SUCH SUPERB CONDITION AS THIS EXAMPLE!  

SUPERB SOUND WITH  BRILLIANT MASTERING AND USE OF THE STEREO IMAGE. 

 IT ONLY TURNS UP ONCE IN A BLUE MOON IN SUCH LOVELY CONDITION AS QUITE POSSIBLY ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES MADE AND SOLD!  THIS LP HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT SURFACE MARKS! I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE! CLEARLY A COPY THAT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED! FANTASTIC SOUND! HAVING LISTENED TO IT AT HIGH VOLUME TWICE! LOVELY CLEAN LABELS-NO SPINDLE WEAR. SHARP PRINTING-NO LABEL STAINS! JUST TINY INITIALS ON ONE LABEL.THICK UK PRESSED VINYL!  STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT++++CONDITION.NO HORRIBLE LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS! 

FANTASTIC SOUND! FAR BETTER THAN MOST STEREO LPs OF 45 YEARS AGO AND OF COURSE MOST BUYERS WHO COULD AFFORD THIS FULL PRICED LP,PLAYED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN! THIS COPY HAS BEEN CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR! PLENTY OF BASS! THERE IS STILL THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT POLYLINED "PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS" INNER SLEEVE AS SUPPLIED IN 1969 WITH THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR"DENOTING ONE OF THE EARLIEST PRINTED FOR THIS ALBUM. THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER HAS JUST A FEW MINOR CREASES.NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS. PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOS!

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A GENUINE PIECE OF BRITISH JAZZ MUSIC HISTORY!

  A LOW REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

SHARP,CLEAN LABELS!   

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
