	$		45

ATTENTION SERIOUS FRANK SINATRA & DEMO COLLECTORS!

A COMPILATION L.P. OF 12 TRACKS FROM THE 1940s AND EARLY 1950s.

"PUT YOUR DREAMS AWAY"

THIS LP SOLD IN SMALL QUANTITIES AT THE TIME AS BEING OLDER MATERIAL AND ALSO AVAILABLE ON LP,MANY SINATRA FANS WERE BUYING THE NEW PRODUCT ON CAPITOL RECORDS. IT IS NOT THAT RARE BUT A DEMO PRESSING IS!!!! 

AN ORIGINAL UK DEMONSTRATION  PRESSING OF THE 1958 FONTANA LP

TFL 5048.

NOTE THE WHITE DEMO LABELS!

ALSO NOTE NO WRITING HAS BEEN ADDED-MOST WHITE LABELS HAD PEN WRITTEN DETAILS ADDED!!! 

ONE OF AROUND 200 COPIES,

MADE IN ADVANCE FOR SELECTED RADIO DJs/PRODUCERS AND RECORD REVIEWERS!

IT MAY SEEM INCREDIBLE TO YOUNGER COLLECTORS , BUT BACK IN 1958 WHEN THIS DEMO LP WAS MADE,THERE WERE VERY FEW RADIO STATIONS AND MUSIC PAPERS OR REVIEWERS TO SEND UPFRONT PROMOTIONAL RECORDS TO.A FEW IMPORTANT MAJOR RECORD DEALERS  MIGHT GET THEM BUT IT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL RESPECTED MUSIC INDUSTRY PROMOTIONAL STAFF THAT THE

 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM PRINT RUN FOR A DEMONSTRATION DISC BEFORE THE MID-1960s PIRATE RADIO AND NIGHTCLUB EXPLOSION WAS 250 COPIES-EVEN THE BEATLES"LOVE ME DO"45 HAD JUST 250 DEMOS MADE-SEE MARK LEWISOHN's EXCELLENT AND ESSENTIAL BOOK"BEATLES RECORDING SESSIONS"PAGE 22 FOR PROOF-HE SHOULD KNOW!!!!

I HAVE MET AN EX-DECCA WORKER AND WELL KNOWN CD SLEEVE NOTE WRITER,JOHN TRACEY, SOME YEARS AGO AND HE EVEN SEEMED TO THINK ALL UK DEMOS PRE-1963 WERE EVEN LESS THAN 200!!!!

SO HOW MANY SURVIVE OVER 50 YEARS LATER AND AS GOOD AS THIS ONE??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

MOST COPIES HAVE NOW ENDED UP IN LONG TERM COLLECTORS COLLECTIONS AND ARE GETTING LESS FREQUENT ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN 2009!!!

NOT A DODGY REPRO AS MAY EXIST

THIS IS A GENUINE UK DEMO LP.

 HOUSED IN AN ORIGINAL GLOSSY PICTURE COVER OF 1958 VINTAGE WITH SUPERB IN DEPTH SLEEVE NOTES!

THE TRACKS ARE:

 I DREAM OF YOU

DREAM

I HAVE BUT ONE HEART

THE GIRL THAT I MARRY

THE THINGS WE DID LAST SUMMER

LOST IN THE STARS

IF I FORGET YOU

MAM'SELLE

THE SONG IS YOU

IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND

AIN'TCHA EVER COMING BACK

PUT YOUR DREAMS AWAY

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

THESE ARE VITAL TRACKS SHOWING THAT EVEN THE YOUNG SINATRA HAD BRILLIANT PHRASING AND COULD HANDLE BALLADS AS WELL AS BIG BAND/JAZZ STYLED SINGING!

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

FROM MY OWN COLLECTION!

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE!! 

DUE TO A LACK OF SPACE AND THE REALISATION THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO PLAY THE MAJORITY OF MY HUGE COLLECTION,I AM PRUNING DOWN SELECTED ITEMS.

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN STRICTLY GRADED NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS,EVEN IN STRONG LIGHT AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME.

NO CLICKS/NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO SWISHES!  

DEMO LPs WERE USUALLY PLAYED A LOT BY DJs AND IN THE"ROUGH"WORLD OF"DJing"SO OFTEN LEFT OUT OF THE COVER,BADLY TREATED OR EVEN THROWN OUT AFTER USE!

MOST DJs and REVIEWERS WOULD BE SENT DOZENS OF RECORDS EVERY WEEK AND HARDLY ANY THOUGHT LONG TERM INVESTMENT!!!!

I have kept hold of several DEMO LPs over the years but the time has come to thin down the collection AGAIN!

The Mono mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

A FANTASTIC ITEM!

GREAT INVESTMENT FROM ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING RECORD EXPERTS! 

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

There is NO spindle wear.    

THE COVER IS IN FABULOUS ORDER:NO CREASES,NO STAINING/WEAR,NO WRITING, NO NASTY SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,NO STAPLES,NO HOLE CUTS ETC.

THERE ARE FOUR TINY PIN HOLES AT EACH CORNER BUT THESE ARE ONLY VISIBLE AT VERY CLOSE INSPECTION-HOW MANY OTHER SELLERS WOULD MENTION THIS???  

Look elsewhere on ebay and MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often FAKES,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 POSSIBLE UPGRADER 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 A VERY STRONG,NEAR MINT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

AN OUTER PVC COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED AS WITH ALL MY RARE LPs SOLD.

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTO! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
