"YOU'VE MADE ME SO VERY HAPPY"

JOHN SCHROEDER WAS A TOP BRITISH PRODUCER,SONGWRITER AND ARRANGER PROVIDING BACKINGS FOR MANY POP ARTISTS.THIS PROJECT ALSO INCLUDED THE CO-ARRANGING OF ALAN TEW, WHO AT THE TIME HAD BEEN VERY HOT AS AN ARRANGER ON THE EARLY HIT RECORDS OF CAT STEVENS,ANITA HARRIS AND OTHER ARTISTS OF THE MID TO LATE 1960s.TEW ALSO MADE MANY LPs OF EXCELLENT BEAT VERSIONS OF TV THEMES AND BEAT TUNES.THIS LP HAS SOME TRACKS WHICH HAVE BEEN POPULAR ON THE LOUNGE/FUNK SCENE WITH SOME ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS THAT MAY BE USEFUL FOR SAMPLES AND DJ LOOPS AND BREAKS.THE VERSIONS ARE BIG PRODUCTION BUT WITH SOLID RHYTHM AND BASS SECTIONS AND TRUE TO THE ORIGINALS BUT WITH THAT BRITISH BEAT PRODUCTION ADDED TO WHAT WERE EITHER BLACK AMERICAN SOUL CLASSICS OR ORIGINALLY BY  AMERICAN PROGRESSIVE ROCK ACTS.SOME OF THE TRACKS HAVE BREIF VOCALS BY DAVID BYRON OF URIAH HEEP,USUALLY JUST THE MAIN TITLE OR CHORUS SUNG WITH PLENTY OF INSTRUMENTAL PASSAGES! DESPITE BEING ON A BUDGET LABEL,THIS WAS NOT A REISSUE AND AS FAR AS I KNOW,THE ONLY VINYL ISSUE FOR THIS GEM!

JOHN WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECENT EXCELLENT RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE ARTICLE. IF ONLY I HAD BEEN CONTACTED BEFOREHAND,I COULD DRAW ATTENTION TO HIS EXCELLENT OVERLOOKED PROJECTS LIKE THIS ONE,SHUNNED BY MANY SNOBS WHO DISMISS THE MARBLE ARCH LABEL!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NICE BRITISH EARLY 1970s LP -THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

A FIRST EDITION WHICH IS NOW 39 YEARS OLD AND WAS DELETED WITHIN A YEAR AS MANY EARLY 1970s LPs HAD LIMITED SALES!  

 AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY DECENT EARLY 1970s BRITISH LPs COLLECTION!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED A COUPLE OF TIMES AT THE MOST AND IS STILL IN VERY NICE ORDER AND SOUNDS FANTASTIC WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER AND GLEAMING SURFACES!

NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS!

FAR,FAR BETTER THAN MOST"MINT" LPs! 

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

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.

AN ORIGINAL STEREO EDITION FROM 1971 OF THE RARE ALBUM ISSUED ON THE UK PYE PRESSED MARBLE ARCH LABEL .       

How many were preserved like this one ??!!!!!!

Just to explain, in 1971,the majority of fans that were buying Lps were using poor equipment-Classical music LPs tended to be more cared for.  

THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED!   

GREAT WIDE STEREO AND CLEAR SOUND!

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

There is NO spindle wear!!!

NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!   

THE COVER HAS A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES.

NO WRITING!  NO NASTY SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,STAPLES,HOLE CUTS ETC.

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

THE LP ITSELF AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTO!
