Description
This auction is for the very very rare single I am......I think b/w The man from Naz by Grobbert and Duff. This is the original recording that was released in 1972 on the Sunslump record label. Catalogue Number : gra 101a.
It was the only record ever released on this label so this single is highly collectable either for someone that likes the music or as a future investment as it's rarity will only result in an increase in book value. This is a MUST for any serious collector of vinyl. The paltry £10.50 I received on auction was a joke so this is why I have opted to put it on buy it now, very near offers will be considered. This record has a book value of between £100-£150 so grab yourself a bargain.
The vinyl is in VG +/Ex- condition with a few very minor surface scratches on the wax. This does does not affect play or any significant reduction in sound quality (No crackles, pops or hisses). There is a faint label mark and slight wear to the spindle edge but noting too serious. The vinyl is housed in a plain white sleeve.
The Catalogue value is well beyond this figure. A must for serious vinyl collectors.
Re-listed due to not reaching it's reserve on original auction.
A little History of the single.
The story begins somewhere in the fervid cultural turmoil of 1971 when things were still possible but the potential was rapidly narrowing. Tim Wyatt had just fled Yorkshire for London where he was working as an 18 year old publicity assistant at Gordon & Breach Science Publishers. There he meets Moira Mills, who is engaged to musician and recent Borstal Boy Kris Gray, a man with both talent and musical ambitions.
Kris writes two songs to commemorate the forthcoming Windsor Festival organised by acid evangelist and deep eccentric Bill Dwyer. Early one morning sometime in 1972; Kris Gray (bass), Cecil Roberts (guitar), Mick Duffy (drums?), Moira and Tim book two hours in TW Studios in Fulham to record 'I Am ... I Think' and The Man From Naz. A small number are pressed and put out on the newly created Sunslump Records (number gra 101a). It is one of the very first independent recordings of its kind ever released in the UK.
Moira and Tim sing on the backing vocals. Tim, who has also designed the logo and the record label, attempts crude publicity work using a six-foot replica of the record produced from hardboard. He spends time rolling the giant model around various parts of central London.
A.I AM....I THINK
fantastic slice of hard to find UK off kilter madness and overall Psych/Freakbeat head-spinner with plenty of hammond and archaic lyrics!! Rare private press and their only single, great, MINT- condition, clean labels
B. THE MAN FROM NAZ
a fab parody of the feeding of the 5000!
Only,instead of 5 fishes and two loaves its an ounce of 'leb' and two packets of 'rizzla' and called the 'stoning' of the 5000!
A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FREAKBEAT/PSYCH/MOD/GARAGE COLLECTION!
THANKS FOR LOOKING.
