Original 1971 45 on the UK FAMOUS G+W label
IN ORIGINAL FAMOUS G+W SLEEVE
Vinyl: Plays VG++
Top of the food chain Fading Yellow pop here from (Roger) Peacock, “Sun Was in Your Eyes” b/w “Just A Lonely Man” on the B+G label. Because this came out in 1971, it’s got some subtle prog elements, even though it’s still essentially a Beatles tribute at heart. Which means that, if the childlike singalong melody of “Sun Was In Your Eyes” recalls “Dear Prudence,” and the trippy distorted background vocals “Blue Jay Way,” then the giant soaring choruses and over-the-top production sound more like ELO, who were always trying to sound like the Beatles anyway, right?
Meanwhile, the flipside, “Just A Lonely Man,” sounds a lot like something off those early 70’s Moody Blues albums, like Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, or Seventh Sojourn. Specifically, the bright and catchy acoustic tracks, like “Lovely to See You” or “Story in Your Eyes” – and that means good, solid prog pop. There aren’t any trippy effects or Beatles homages this time round, but both sides are fantastic, and, needless to say, uncomped. But anyone into grand, soaring pop music in the Fading Yellow tradition really needs to check out this obscurity out immediately. Peacock should be proud.
HEAR IT!
UPDATE: SORRY, I NO LONGER SHIP TO ITALY DUE TO A CORRUPT POSTAL SYSTEM (THERE, NOT HERE).
(THE LESS EXCITING STUFF...)
First class shipping is $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping. Delivery confirmation included in the shipping costs. Air mail shipping to Canada starts at $6 US, each additional record $2 shipping. Air mail shipping everywhere else in the world starts at $8 US, with each additional record only $3 shipping.
I try to grade as best as I can, and I list as many blemishes/imperfections I can find (writing, ringwear, scuff marks, etc.) – Also, please note that I DO listen to these albums – I may not listen to every track, but my grades are based on LISTENING, not just looking at it, since chances are you’ll be listening to the record you buy, not just looking at it. Most of the albums I sell are the ones I’ve enjoyed for years – and I treat my records with kid gloves. But sounds speak louder than words, so check out the sound clips below – they’re from the actual record you’re bidding on.
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING
Listen, I buy a bunch of records too (when I’m not getting outbid at the last second, which is more often than not) – and I know what it’s like to get a rare, one-of-a-kind album packaged dangerously in a flimsy bubblewrap package. I hate that too. So rest assured, I ALWAYS package albums with stiff cardboard reinforcements, same for 45s. And yes, the records are removed from the sleeves (for albums). I ship out once a week, every Friday, because I have a regular day job. But I’d be willing to give that up if you’d all be so kind as to bid my items up to stupidly high amounts.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…
I will always leave positive feedback for successful transactions, and would appreciate the same in return. All I ask of you is the following – please pay for your items within 14 days of the close of auction. Compared to other sellers, that’s a generous amount of time, so if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, then I have to assume something’s wrong. You’ll get an Ebay payment reminder at that point, and possibly a decapitated horse head in your bed. If, after 30 days, you still haven’t forked up the cash, I’ll relist the item and yell at you if I ever see you in town.
