Description
What's on offer?: Almost without the need for introduction, here we have a SIMPLY FANTASTIC and hugely in demand dreamy PSYCH gem - especially as an ORIGINAL UK FACTORY SAMPLE PRESSING and in MINT UNPLAYED condition!!
Artist: HANS CHRISTIAN
(Jon Anderson of YES)
A-side: “(THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF) MISSISSIPPI HOBO”
B-side: “Sonata Of Love”
Label: Parlophone R 5698 (UK Original)
This beauty came direct from the collection of a guy who was a Salesman for EMI during the 60s and 70s. He used to get a "Factory Sample" copy of every EMI 45 rpm release so that he could "plug" them at the record shops.
When did you last see one of these offered for sale and, importantly, when are you likely to see one again???!!!
Forget the ridiculously understated RRPG guide price of £80, this is simply an ESSENTIAL item for collectors of YES-RELATED material and PSYCH around the World and is on so many Wants Lists it's simply incredible! The “Buy It Now” facility is there for the careful consideration of those serious collectors who want to get their hands on this gem NOW!!!
Forget all the cheap bootleg repros (without push-out centres) that are doing the rounds, as you'll see from the photo this is guaranteed to be the ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1st FACTORY SAMPLE Pressing. Any fan of Hans Christian, Jon Anderson, Yes, the Psych sound or 60s music in general, will simply have to have this in their collection!!!!
Grade (labels): The classic black labels are in ABSOLUTELY STUNNING condition with vibrant silver print. There is NO unwanted handwriting, NO wear and NO spindle marks!!! There is a Factory Sample label on the 'A' side.
Grade (vinyl): Most of these 60s singles had been played on a heavy stylus and so are usually found totally worn out, almost unplayable. This record, however, is strictly graded at MINT and is firmly believed to be UNPLAYED!!!!
Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT Record Collector grading standards - it's simply not in my interest to do otherwise!!!! Brilliant!!!!
Why buy?: THIS IS SUCH A BRILLIANT AND PAINFULLY RARE SINGLE. IT’S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A GENUINE COPY IN ANY CONDITION, LET ALONE PERFECT MINT UNPLAYED!!!! SO, DON'T MISS OUT!!!! THIS WILL SURELY BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1968 PARLOPHONE UK 1ST FACTORY SAMPLE PRESSING OF "MISSISSIPPI HOBO" BY HANS CHRISTIAN (JON ANDERSON OF YES) IN STUNNING MINT UNPLAYED CONDITION!!!! Use the 'Buy It Now' facility (if it's still available) before somebody else beats you to it!!!
