Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & Trinity - Save Me (1967)

Super Rare South Africa 7" Pressing, With Picture Sleeve

Polydor, PD.9374

Rare 7" pressing of the classic Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger With The Trinity single Save Me (Pt 1) b/w Save Me (Pt 2), originally released in 1967; this single was made and issued in South Africa (matrix: PD9374-598004-A / -B), and comes with its original picture sleeve featuring a design unavailable anywhere else in the world - it even still has its original plastic bag that came with South African singles from this period; safe to say that this is an extremely rare single, unlisted on Discogs, 45cat or Popsike, so grab it now while you can!

CONDITION:

Labels: EX+ (lovely clean labels, hardly any wear or marks, no damage, tears or writing)

Vinyl (visual): EX- (has some marks over both sides, but nearly all are of the hairline variety, so there's nothing that affects the sound too much, and it still retains a lovely sheen)

Vinyl (audio): EX (although it does have some surface noise, mostly in the run-in, this record actually retains a great sound, with an excellent beefy playback)

Sleeve: EX+ (other than a little ringwear and light bending to one corner, this sleeve is in excellent condition, with no issues at all, you won't be disappointed)

NB: The condition grades shown above are based on Record Collector's grades. There are 5 grades: Near Mint (used but in stunning 'nearly new' condition); EX+ (used but with a bare minimum of wear); EX (item may have some light marks but still in a desirable condition); VG+ (has a few marks but only cosmetic, item plays perfectly); and VG (may have minor issues which I will specifically refer to); I don't sell anything below VG (and Mint doesn't exist). Unlike a lot of people on eBay, I am very scrupulous about my grading, so if ever you are less than satisfied with the condition of an item, please do contact me.

SPECIALIST IN EARLY CD PRESSINGS:

As Tillysmusic, I've been an eBay seller for many years, and specialise in early/1980s CD pressings. If anybody tells you that early CDs were badly mastered and sound bad, don't believe them! Although there are exceptions, the vast majority of 1980s CD pressings sound wonderful, especially West German and Japanese pressings from between 1982 and 1988. Pressings from this era tend to have a much warmer 'natural' sound not unlike how you remember the vinyl original, as opposed to more modern reissues which are remixed for iPods with bass boost and added compression. Remember, not all early pressings are mega-rare or valuable, but are nearly always worth checking out.

PS: I also endeavour to sell my early CDs with their original heavy plastic cases, which I believe is an important part of the whole package; this means that some of these old cases will come with scuffing or small cracks, but I will always describe any noticeable problems.
