Description
KATE: Shout It / Sweet Little Thing (CBS, 4123, 1969). Pre-release promotional copy.
I bought this because I was a Pretty Things fan and knew that the hellraising Viv Prince was on drums. I have to admit that I was surprised when I heard it because, apart from one featured drum fill apart, it reminded me more of a sort of Age of Aquarius meets Melting Pot, though thankfully with a few extra redeeming features (such as a strong song on the a-side). So, it's been sitting in the collection since the early 1980s, whilst I made up my mind what to do with it! I'm half hoping that no-one buys it!
There are some light surface marks but the record plays at a nice VG to EX, except for some light, repeating clicks right on the b-side fade out. Labels both have a letter handwritten on them, the one on the b-side label circled - see photos. All told, a very nice copy of a very rare single.
* * * * Playing surfaces are likely to have light marks from taking in and out of sleeves over the years but these are not mentioned unless obvious (i.e. to the detriment of listening experience or if the record is especially collectable). Condition stated is based on play testing each record. All photos are of the record you will be receiving, so please look at these carefully because they can give a better idea of condition of sleeves than my descriptions. Apologies for various reflections of my good self!
The more you buy, the more you save on postage. If you win multiple items, please do not pay until I have invoiced with updated postage. If items are bid above £25 (or multiple items are sold for more that £25), the higher rate of postage will apply so that your wins are correctly insured against loss/damage in the post.
See photos for track details if I have not detailed these. All records/books/etc. from a smoke/pet/Covid-free household. Where possible, packaging will be recycled but secure.
* * * * Conditions tend to be subjective, and with vinyl I won't even use 'Mint' for new, still sealed, un-played records - all records come fresh from the pressing plant with at least some minor imperfection to sleeve, record, inner, etc. So, I start with Excellent for the most part. The majority of LP sleeves from played but well looked after records tend to be what I would call Very Good (which should mean exactly what it says, 'very good'). Judging by most items bought on eBay over the last few years would tend to suggest that my "Very Good" (and, often, my "Good") equates to most sellers' "Excellent".
Tapes and CDs are a bit different. If the cassette casing and labels/CD look as new and the tape/CD plays properly, with no sound imperfections, then I'm not embarrassed about calling it "Mint", though most inlays will be Near New, Excellent or Very Good. I do not include standard jewel cases in the condition - these are easily replaced - but I mention if damaged. In any case, the photos should tell you this.
Note that all records, tapes, books, whatever, are from my own collection and most have been in storage for the last fifteen years or so. Lockdowns, etc., have caused me to revisit and have a bit of a clear out. It's all made me wonder why I have multiple copies of records that I don't even play! There are about 5,000 more items to come from my rambling progressive rock, jazz fusion, folk, folk-rock, blues, 1950s stereo classical and easy listening, psychedelic, reggae, ambient, railway, field recordings, electronic and occasionally just plain 'out there' collection. I've been collecting the stuff since 1966, so now its time for much of it to find new homes.
