Description
Elmer Hockett's Hurdy Gurdy - Fantastic Fair/ Mood Mosaic - Yellow Spotted Capricorn
(Parlophone UK 1968)
Record Condition: VG++. Vinyl has some superficial marks under bright light. In company bag. Small sticker stain on A side label.
Mark Wirtz in full-on pop sike discoteque production mode for this one-off 45 by the wonderfully named Elmer Hockett's Hurdy Gurdy, backed by a cool slice of easy sike by Mood Mosaic. One of Wirtz's rarer 45s and could be a leftside mod dance floor hit. This made no impression at the time, sold pitifully and this is the first stock copy I have ever seen.
Listen to both sides taken from the actual 45 for sale:
Side A: Fantastic Fair: HERE
Side B: Yellow Spotted Capricorn: HERE
I have been told I have to start selling off the majority of my collection. Apparently boxes and boxes of records are neither a good use of space, nor aesthetically pleasing. I disagree with both those opinions, but only under my breath. So for a quiet life I am offering the bulk of my collection accumulated over a 30 odd year period in batches of 20 or so a week over the coming months all starting at £2.50. I have always been much more interested in the obscure and the peculiar, particularly from the golden age of pop/rock - the late 60s and early 70s. So listed are many curios, obscurities and rarities I have found over the years, many demos and small labels. Musically they range from pure pop through to beat and psych, prog, folk and rock. I have upped my game recently and will now be uploading my 45s to Youtube so you can actually hear and see the 45s you will be bidding on.
Grading
M-: As new, no marks of any kind whatsoever.
EX: Perhaps a few featherlight whispy marks visible under bright light, but no scratches or deterioration in sound.
VG+: Some light marks on the vinyl, but nothing feelable that could cause clicks or pops, just occasional light surface noise.
VG: Some heavier marks and maybe a few scratches that will cause some noise, but will still be a very enjoyable listen with definitely no sticks or skips or constant surface noise.
