Description
This is an original 1960’s German issue on the Polydor label and has the serial number 59 069 A/B. It carries the inscription “sample not for sale” and has “Just What You Want – Just You’ll Get” on the flip side. This was recorded by the band before Bolan joined but issued in Germany while he was with them. The stock copy came in a picture sleeve showing him but promos just came in generic company bags. It has no centre and was again issued like this.
The bag is generally clean and unmarked but shows it’s age with storage marks and ring wear. I have kept the sleeve in a plastic bag and would grade it VG plus.
The record has been well stored and looks perfect and shiny with no wear and so would grade it as MINT. You are unlikely to find a better example. The picture is of the actual record so take it as a general guide to condition.
I bought most of these records at the time of release and have only played them on a quality deck. I am not a full time dealer, just clearing some space so you can bid with confidence. In fact I was the subject of the regular feature called “the collector” in the June 2012 (No 402) issue of Record Collector magazine. All records are visually graded unless stated otherwise.
