PLEASE NOTE - I am VERY pleased to say that this 45 is 100% GENIUNE in every respect!!!!  These days, it is usually impossible to know the full history of most 45s that turn up for sale, and many have been 'cleaned' or 'improved' over the years (NOT this one!).  However - this ULTRA RARE 'Demo' 45 has come from a '1 owner' Radio DJ collection and he was the ONLY owner from NEW, so I am VERY confident in its FULL history!!!!   Thus I am VERY happy to say that this 45 is EXACTLY geniune in its described condition - and is 100% complete with its ORIGINAL Company Sleeve!  So bid with confidence and GOOD LUCK! 

On offer here is a VERY rare 45 (especially in this condition!!!!) by Darrell Banks called "Open The Door Of Your Heart" and is an ORIGINAL 1966 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Stateside label!!!!  The B side is called 'Our Love (Is In The Pocket)'. THIS 45 IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST 45s ON THE STATESIDE LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1966 WHEN THIS 45 WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS 45 REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS AN ULTRA RARE 'DEMO' 1ST PRESSING!!!!  AND THIS IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS 45!!!!  'DEMOs' WERE 'PRE-RELEASE' 1ST PRESSINGS THAT WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN 100 AT THE VERY MOST!), SPECIALLY MADE TO BE SENT OUT TO RADIO STATIONS & MUSIC REVIEWERS PRIOR TO THE RELEASE DATE!!!!  AS A RESULT, THIS ULTRA RARE 'DEMO' IS FAR FAR RARER THAN ANY NORMAL 1ST PRESSING, AND WAS PRESSED IN FAR FAR SMALLER AMOUNTS!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS SERIOUSLY RARE 'DEMO' 1ST PRESSING IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS AMAZING 45 THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!!
