CLIFF RICHARD(AND THE SHADOWS)

"THE BEST OF CLIFF RICHARD VOLUME 1"

SAS LABEL #YCY 2057-STEREO

AN ORIGINAL LATE 1960s NON-UK PRESSING LP LABELS WITH DIFFERENT SELECTIONS AND  COVER PHOTO TO THE UK ONE OF THE SAME TIME+ THE NON-STRINGS VERSION OF"THE YOUNG ONES"WHICH IS ALSO WHERE THE COVER PHOTO COMES FROM!

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE,HAVING SEEN AND SOLD SOME THE UKs BIGGEST AND BEST CLIFF RICHARD COLLECTIONS OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS AND OF COURSE THE SHADOWS ARE INVOLVED ON MOST OF THE TRACKS WHICH MAKE IT A MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS SHADOWS COMPLETISTS SUCH AS MY REGULAR SHADOWS BUYERS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD!!

I DO NOT KNOW WHICH COUNTRY THIS LP COMES FROM AS DESPITE EVERY WORD PRINTED IN ENGLISH,THERE ARE NO COUNTRIES STATED OR PUBLISHING CREDITS THAT MIGHT HELP!

I AM NOT EVEN SURE IF THIS LP HAD AN ISSUE IN OTHER COUNTRIES THAN THE ONE WHERE THIS ONE CAME FROM WHICH I WOULD GUESS AS SOUTH AFRICA,INDIA OR THE FAR EAST SUCH AS MALAYSIA AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING ON THIS LABEL BEFORE-ANY SOLID AND FIRM HELP WOULD BE VERY WELCOME!!

THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS IN THE ROYAL AIR FORCE AND WAS BASED IN A VARIETY OF COUNTRIES BUT IS SADLY NO LONGER AROUND TO CONFIRM WHERE THIS LP CAME FROM!!!!

ON A TECHNICAL NOTE,MOST OF THE TRACKS ARE IN GENUINE STEREO,BUT WHOEVER MASTERED THE TRANSFERS OF THE TRACKS TO DISC MANAGES TO MISS OFF THE OPENING AND CLOSING SECONDS OF SOME OF THE TRACKS UNLIKE THE UK ONES WHICH HAD VERY KEEN AND METICULOUS ENGINEERS THAT RARELY LET SUCH MISTAKES GET OUT!!

ON THE PACKAGING FRONT,IT IS A STRANGE CHOICE TO HAVE THE 1962 YOUNG ONES COVER PHOTO FRONTING A SELECTION THAT GOES UP TO AND INCLUDES 1968 HIT SINGLES-COMPARED TO THE UK BEST OF CLIFF LP WITH A TOTALLY DIFFERENT COVER PHOTO AND TRACK SELECTION!

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SURFACE MARKS AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE AS TYPICAL OF LATE 1960s NON-UK PRESSINGS BUT NO NASTY CLICKS,JUMPS OR STICKS AND IT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED THAT TO BUY DIRECT FROM A NON-UK SOURCE CAN BE RISKY!

THE COVER ITSELF HAS A FEW TINY CREASES AT THE  EDGES WHICH YOU WOULD EXPECT  BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

IT IS ACTUALLY LAMINATED AT THE FRONT AND BACK UNLIKE THE UK EMI-COLUMBIA ONES OF THE ERA WHICH DID NOT USUALLY HAVE LAMINATION AT THE BACK!

SAME PHOTO AND TRACK LISTING LAYOUT AT THE BACK AS ON THE FRONT.

THE RECORD ITSELF IS A STRICTLY GRADED EXCELLENT CONDITION EXAMPLE WITH SOME  FAINT SURFACE MARKS,A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE BUT STILL PLAYS VERY NICELY!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN UNUSUAL CLIFF AND THE SHADOWS L.P.VARIATION AND COLLECT ALL THE NON-UK PRESSINGS WITHIN THE 1960s-THIS COULD BE THE LP FOR YOU!

 AN IDEAL OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A FASCINATING LP FOR YOUR CLIFF/SHADOWS COLLECTION!

MINT OR NEAR MINT COPIES OF RARE LPs CAN ATTRACT KEEN BIDDING AND SO A VERY DECENT,HONESTLY GRADED EXCELLENT CONDITION L.P.IS A VERY ATTRACTIVE OPTION ON THE BASIS THAT TRUE NEAR MINT CONDITION COPIES ARE GENERALLY KEPT UNPLAYED FOR INVESTMENT AND IN THE CASE OF ONES FROM SOME COUNTRIES ARE UNLIKELY TO EXIST IN ANY PLAYABLE CONDITION AT ALL!!!.

 AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY CLIFF COLLECTION!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

THIS LP HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR WITH NOT MANY PLAYS BUT THE VERY NATURE OF THESE PRESSINGS MEANS THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE,MOST OF WHICH WAS PROBABLY PRESENT FROM THE DAY IT WAS FIRST PLAYED!

NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS,NO CONSTANT SWISHES etc etc!

MY CONSTANT AIM IS TO GET FEEDBACK COMMENTS LIKE"BEYOND EXPECTATION",WHICH I ALREADY HAVE!

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD EXPERTS/DEALERS.

**************************************************************** 

Copies of this  LP probably only survive in TINY quantities and so how many were preserved like this one-??

USED BUT NOT SERIOUSLY ABUSED AND FLAT!!!!!

DON'T FORGET THE  HEAT IN SOME COUNTRIES THAT DAMAGED AND WARPED MANY COPIES!! HOW MANY MADE IT TO THE UK???!

Just to explain, in the 1960s,the majority of fans in NON-UK countries were still using poor equipment.  

THIS ONE HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED A HANDFUL OF TIMES BUT STILL SOUNDING FINE! 

The STEREO mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

Any serious CLIFF RICHARD/SHADOWS collector will require ALL THE WORLD VARIATIONS.  

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear CLIFF AND THE SHADOWS and always will be!   GREAT SOLID SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

NO LABEL WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!! PLEASE SEE THE  PHOTO!   

 Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see many CLIFF LPs-Look closer and you will find they are NOT LIKE THIS ONE,often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A NICE COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.  

THE LP AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTO!

IF YOU GO THROUGH MY FEEDBACK YOU WLL SEE MANY OTHER GREAT LPs SOLD -PAY NOTE TO THE FEEDBACK RESPONSES!!-NO ISSUES!! INFACT VERY HAPPY CUSTOMERS WHICH IS PROOF OF MY CAREFUL,DETAILED AND STRICT GRADING!!!!
