Description


High Society - People Passing By/ Star Of Eastern Street

(Fontana UK 1966)

 

Record Condition: Lovely EX both sides. Comes in company bag.


Little known and rather special Graham Gouldman 1966 project involving Peter Cowap, Christine Ebbrell, Friday Brown and Keith Lawless of Ivans Meads. Also on the sessions were Phil Dennys, Clem Cattini and John Paul Jones - later of Led Zeppelin. The A side is great folk pop that pushes the boundaries for 1966 but is just a lovely evocative song. The B side is possibly even better with blissful harmonies and some raga guitar pushing it into early psych territory. Listen to both sides of the 45 below.


Listen to both sides taken from the actual 45 for sale:

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 fiver - less than a packet of 20 Woodbines, and much better for your health. 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.
