Description
IF YOU ARE A HARDCORE MONKEES COLLECTOR TAKE NOTE!! PRESENTED HERE IS AN EXTREMELY RARE/SCARCE PRESSING OF THEIR FIRST EVER 45 LAST TRAIN TO CLARKSVILLE/TAKE A GIANT STEP COLGEMS 66-1001. NOW WHILE THIS 45 SOLD OVER A MILLION COPIES THIS ULTRA RARE COLGEMS LABEL RE-ISSUE BARELY SOLD AT ALL!! IN LATE 1969/EARLY 1970 THE MONKEES TV SHOW WAS DOING RATHER WELL AS REPEATED PROGRAMMING. HOWEVER NEW MONKEES RECORD FROM THE SAME PERIOD WERE CONTINUING TO SELL LESS AND LESS!! COLGEMS/RCA DECIDED TO RE-ISSUE SOME OF THE HIT 45s9THESE ARE EASY TO SEE AS THE NEW COLGEMS LOGO APPEAR ON THE LABEL AND THE FONT OF THE PRINT IS THE SAME AS THE OH MY MY 45(FROM 1970). EVEN STRANGER WAS THE FACT THAT THE PICTURE SLEEVE WAS ALSO RE-ISSUED(IT IS NON GLOSSY FLAT(UNLIKE THE FIRST ISSUE) AND HAS A THUMB CUT/TAB ON ONE SIDE!! THEY SUPPOSEDLY DID THE SAME FOR I'M A BELIEVER ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE RE-ISSUED PIC SLEEVE FOR THAT TITLE. BELIEVE ME YOU COULD GO THROUGH HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF MONKEES 45S AND THESE WOULDN'T TURN UP!!! IN MY EXPERIENCES I HAVE ONLY COME ACROSS A HANDFUL IN OVER TWENTY YEARS!! I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN TRAIN,I'M A BELIEVER,AND VALLERI(SEE MY VALLERI LISTING) BUT NO OTHERS. I HAVE HEARD THAT DAYDREAM BELIEVER EXISTS BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE!! NOW THIS ONE I AM OFFERING IS BY FAR THE NICEST CONDITION I HAVE EVER SEEN ON ONE OF THESE!! THE 45 IS NEAR MINT WITH NEAR MINT LABELS!! THE PICTURE SLEEVE IS NEAR MINT!! THIS IS A KEEPER OF A RARITY FOR SURE..PLEASE IF YOU ARE A MONKEES COMPLETIST DON'T MISS OUT!! Winner pays 5.00 S&H. Different rates apply for foreign countries. Thanks!!
