We always strictly grade our records using the Record Collector Standard (Side A graded first)

DISC: Sadly, although at first glance this record looks bright and glossy.  However, on close inspection there are the following defects:

Side A:  There is heat damage to the beginning of the track.  It plays throughout however for the first thirty five seconds there are several jumps.  Following the jumps it plays well.

Side B:  The heat damage also affects this track.  There are several sticks and jumps at the start however the final two minutes play well.  

There are a number of light un-feelable marks on both sides.

This disc has the original and genuine four prong centre.

PLEASE NOTE:  This record is not in mint condition however it is a rarely seen disc.  It is offered in the condition as described as a 'gap filler'

COVER:  The disc is supplied in a genuine Deram Records paper record sleeve of that era that is in superb condition.

I will provide further photographs and information if required.

OTHER INFORMATION:

'Rubber Band' was released in the UK in December 1966, and marked the start of Bowie's recording contract with Deram.

Despite some good notices in the music press, the single was a flop and failed to reach the UK charts as a result this is an extremely rare single and is hardly ever offered for sale.

'Rubber Band' was recorded in mono in October 1966 for the UK single.  It was was re-recorded in stereo the following February for Bowie's debut album.

The B-side, 'The London Boy's' (note the mis-spelling of the word Boys) was belatedly issued as a UK single in 1975.

The photographs used in this listing were all taken by myself and are of the item listed.

I will be listing several other collectable Bowie discs over the next week so please check my other listed items.
