Description
What's on offer?: Almost without the need for introduction, here we have a SIMPLY FANTASTIC and hugely IN DEMAND gem from the UK Jazz genre - particularly as this copy is an ORIGINAL FIRST UK DEMO PRESSING and in MINT UNPLAYED condition!!! This is one of the hottest 45s at the present time; there have been a few copies of this sold on eBay recently, each has commanded £100+ and have been in just VG+ or EX condition. So, snap this PERFECT copy up while the 'Buy It Now' is still available!!!
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE COPY FOR TRUE COLLECTORS!
Artist: GARRICK'S FAIRGROUND
with NORMA WINSTONE
A-side: Epiphany
B-side: Blessed Are The Peacemakers
Label: Argo AFW 105
Personnel on this 45 were:Don Rendell and Art Themen (saxes, reeds), Norma Winstone (voice), Dave Green (double bass), Henry Lowther (trumpet, flugelhorn) and Michael Garrick (piano)
A top UK-only Jazz 45 from the same session that spawned the LP "Mr. Smith's Apocalypse"
As you'll see from the photo, this is guaranteed to be the ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1st DEMO pressing with four-spoke pushout, so you can forget about having to settle for one of those dodgy so-called "limited re-pressings" (many of which are actually bootlegs) that are flooding the market.
A simply incredible double-sider, any fan of Michael Garrick, Norma Winstone or UK Jazz music in general will simply have to have this beauty in their collection!!!!
Grade (labels): The classic white labels with large red A are in GREAT condition; there is NO wear and NO spindle marks!!!
Grade (vinyl): In decades gone by, the general public and DJs had no idea how valuable some vinyl would turn out to be. Hence, discs such as this were often handled with relative neglect and played on a much heavier stylus than is the case nowadays. The result is that many discs are found to be badly marked and sometimes almost unplayable. This record, however, is strictly graded at MINT and is genuinely believed to be UNPLAYED!!!!
Grade (company bag): In a word....lovely!!
Why buy?: This is such a BRILLIANT and RARE 45. It's hard to find a genuine copy in ANY condition, let alone this fantastic!!!! So, don't miss this copy as it might be your only chance to buy an ORIGINAL 1965 Parlophone UK 1st DEMO pressing of "'Once Upon A Time" by The Untamed in MINT UNPLAYED condition!!!
Don't forget: Look to see if I have other rare items on auction at the present time. Many vinyl gems (always in fantastic condition) will be emerging over the coming weeks and months so, to ensure you don't miss out, please check my listings from time to time!!!

P&P is £6.00 (incl. Special Delivery) per item in the UK, Overseas TBA. Insurance above the basic level provided by mail companies costs extra and, if required, must be paid for by the buyer. I cannot accept any responsibility for payments/items lost or damaged and not covered by adequate insurance.
