Pounding UK Freakbeat / Mod Soul Crossover: Rare US Deram Promotional 45

Composed by the legendary Clinton & Barnes team, "Heart Trouble" by Welsh freakbeat icons The Eyes of Blue is a blistering hybrid of British Invasion mod energy and driving Detroit-style R&B. Released as the very first single on the US Deram imprint (DEM 85001), promo copies of this side were sent out sparingly to progressive American stations and are fiercely sought after by both freakbeat and Northern Soul selectors.

• The Provenance: Preserved unplayed from original media review archives.

• Condition & Sound: The vinyl appears factory-fresh with brilliant luster. Play-tested to perfection: driving brass, biting guitars, and soaring vocals cut through with immediate, undistorted punch.

• Label Authenticity: Features the classic orange-and-brown Deram radial design with bold "PROMOTIONAL COPY" text. A vintage radio cataloging "x" in pen is present on the A-side label, documenting its genuine media origins while the paper and grooves remain otherwise pristine.
