HERE IS A VERY RARE ITEM,NOT TO BE FOUND VERY OFTEN AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE!

ROGER RUSKIN SPEAR(EX BONZO DOG BAND)

"REBEL TROUSER"E.P.

FOUR NOVELTY TRACKS FROM THIS ECCENTRIC MEMBER OF THE BONZOS THAT HARDLY SOLD OR GOT MUCH PUBLICITY OR RADIO PLAY IN 1971.

PROBABLY THE FIRST DEMO COPY TO BE SEEN ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN YEARS!.

COLLECTORS QUITE RIGHTLY ADORE DEMOS AND THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT COPY!    

UNITED ARTISTS UP 35221+A-1/B-1 MATRIXES-EARLIEST POSSIBLE! MONO MIXES! 

THIS IS VERY HARD TO FIND IN DEMO FORM,ONE OF JUST A FEW HUNDRED COPIES MADE IN ADVANCE FOR DJs AND REVIEWERS!

A BEAUTIFUL STRIKINGLY CLEAN LABEL WITH THE BLACK"A"ON ONE LABEL AND THE"NOT FOR SALE"WORDING+THE RELEASE DATE UNLIKE THE STANDARD SHOP COPIES!  

UNLIKE MOST DEMO 45s THAT SURVIVE,THIS ONE HAS NO WRITING STAINING OR DEFACEMENT!

SHARP CLEAR PRINT-NO FADING OR STAINING!

THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT PICTURE COVER THAT IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO WRITING.

PLEASE SEE THE PHOTO! 

THIS IS VERY TOUGH TO FIND AS A UK DEMONSTRATION  PRESSING AS ONLY A FEW HUNDRED WERE MADE PRE-RELEASE!

ONE OF AROUND 250 COPIES,

MADE IN ADVANCE FOR SELECTED RADIO DJs/PRODUCERS AND RECORD REVIEWERS!

THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE PRESSING!

CRISP SOUND AS EXPECTED ON ONE OF THE FIRST OFF THE MASTER STAMPERS!

NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE.NO SWISHES,CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.

STRICT GRADING AND OF COURSE THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION AS A DEMO-YOU'LL WAIT YEARS TO FIND ANOTHER! 

IT MAY SEEM INCREDIBLE TO YOUNGER COLLECTORS , BUT BACK IN 1971 WHEN THIS DEMO 45 WAS MADE,THERE WERE VERY FEW RADIO STATIONS AND MUSIC PAPERS OR REVIEWERS TO SEND UPFRONT PROMOTIONAL RECORDS TO.A FEW IMPORTANT MAJOR RECORD DEALERS AND JUKE BOX OPERATORS MIGHT GET THEM BUT IT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL RESPECTED MUSIC INDUSTRY PROMOTIONAL STAFF THAT THE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM PRINT RUN FOR A DEMONSTRATION DISC BEFORE THE MID-1960s PIRATE RADIO AND NIGHTCLUB EXPLOSION WAS 250 COPIES-EVEN THE BEATLES"LOVE ME DO"HAD JUST 250 DEMOS MADE-SEE MARK LEWISOHN's EXCELLENT AND ESSENTIAL BOOK"BEATLES RECORDING SESSIONS"PAGE 22 FOR PROOF-HE SHOULD KNOW!!!!

THE VAST MAJORITY OF DEMOS THAT SURVIVE OFTEN HAVE CENTRES MISSING,MAJOR LABEL DEFACEMENT AND DEEP SCRATCHES etc etc. 

SO HOW MANY SURVIVE 41 YEARS LATER AS GOOD AS THIS ONE????

THIS DEMO WAS SENT TO A FORMER BBC RADIO ONE DJ,WHO CAREFULLY FILED HIS RECORDS  ON STURDY SHELVES AWAY FROM STRONG LIGHT AND HEAT IN A CAREFULLY TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED LIBRARY AREA OF HIS HOME.

NO ONE ELSE,UNTIL ME,HAS HANDLED THEM,THEY WERE NEVER LEANT OUT,TAKEN TO DJ NIGHT TIME EVENTS OR INDEED WERE FOR THE MOST PART NOT USED ON THE BBC,AS THE STATION HAD COPIES ALREADY,THIS COPY WAS PLAYED A FEW TIMES,AND THEN FILED AWAY UNTIL NOW!

MOST COPIES HAVE NOW ENDED UP IN LONG TERM COLLECTORS COLLECTIONS AND ARE GETTING LESS FREQUENT ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN 2012!!!

NOT A DODGY REPRO AS MAY EXIST

THIS IS A GENUINE UK DEMO EP!!

(MORE DETAILS BELOW)!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY NICE DEMO  OF THIS FANTASTIC AND RARE E.P. 

-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

A DEMO IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY RARE  45s COLLECTION AND WOULD LOOK WONDERFUL FRAMED UP AS AN EXAMPLE OF A VERY SPECIAL SINGLE IN A RARELY SEEN VARIATION!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

YOU MAY NEVER FIND ONE AS GOOD AGAIN!

JUST LOOK AT MY PHOTO!

AN ELITE ITEM FOR ANY COLLECTOR OF SERIOUSLY RARE COMEDY RECORDS!

DEMOS WERE USUALLY PLAYED A LOT BY DJs AND IN THE"ROUGH"WORLD OF"DJing"SO OFTEN LEFT OUT OF THE COVER,BADLY TREATED OR EVEN THROWN OUT AFTER USE!

MOST DJs and REVIEWERS WOULD BE SENT DOZENS OF RECORDS EVERY WEEK AND HARDLY ANY THOUGHT LONG TERM INVESTMENT!!!!

The MONO mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

Vinyl is still the best way to hear 1970s MUSIC and always will be!   A FANTASTIC ITEM!

GREAT INVESTMENT FROM ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING RECORD EXPERTS! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is NO spindle wear.  

THE PRINT IS STILL VERY CLEAR AND SHARP.

THE COVER IS IN SUPER ORDER!

Look elsewhere on ebay and WON'T see other copies-It's been on many collectors wants lists for YEARS. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.
