^DONOVAN HERE CONFIRMS THE FACT THAT PAUL McCARTNEY CAN BE HEARD ON THE ORIGINAL RECORDING OF MELLOW YELLOW!

  ALL DISCS WILL BE SENT IN PROFESSIONAL 12" MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS. 

CONDITION:

SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS, SOME CRACKLE AND STATIC - POSSIBLY DUE TO ORIGINAL RECORDING AND THERE ARE A FEW VERY SLIGHT JUMPS ON SIDE ONE (IN ORDER: BEGINNING OF MOVE SONG, DURING DONOVAN SONG; DURING DEL SHANNON SONG)  THESE ARE VERY SLIGHT, AND DO NOT UNDULY AFFECT THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THIS RARE RECORD.

CUE SHEET VERY GOOD+ - NO MAJOR RIPS OR TEARS ETC

THIS DISC IS PART OF WHAT IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE FINEST COLLECTION OF RARE BBC TOP OF THE POPS AND PICK OF THE POPS TRANSCRIPTION DISCS EVER TO HAVE APPEARED ON EBAY... OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER!  THEY ALL DATE FROM THE GOLDEN PERIOD OF 1966-1971, AND ARE BEING SOLD ON BEHALF OF A LADY WHOSE FATHER HAD THE FORESIGHT TO RESCUE THEM FROM A SKIP OVER THIRTY YEARS AGO.

THESE ARE GENUINE BBC TRANSCRIPTIONS DISCS WHICH ARE MAINLY IN EXCELLENT, NEAR MINT OR MINT CONDITION, AND I WILL BE LISTING THEM DISC BY DISC OVER THE COMING MONTHS.

(A NOTE ON WHAT EXACTLY BBC TRANSCRIPTION DISCS ARE)

BBC TRANSCRIPTION DISCS ARE AMONG THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER RARITIES AMONGST COLLECTORS OF 1960's/EARLY 1970's MUSIC AND ARTISTS.  THE TOP OF THE POPS DISCS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TELEVISION PROGRAMME OF THE SAME NAME, AND WERE IN FACT MADE UP OF TRACKS FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEKS LIVE BBC SESSION, WHICH WERE THEN PRESSED AS A FULL LENGTH PROGRAMME COMPLETE WITH BRIAN MATTHEW'S DJ LINKS AND INTERVIEWS WITH THE FAMOUS (AND NOT SO FAMOUS!) STARS OF THE DAY.  THESE WERE THEN SENT TO OVERSEAS TERRITORIES WITH THE EXPRESS INSTRUCTIONS THAT WERE TO BE DESTROYED BY THE "EXPIRY DATE", WHICH WAS SIX MONTHS LATER.  IT IS THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS ONLY EVER 50 OR SO WERE PRESSED OF EACH PROGRAMME, AND THE VAST MAJORITY WERE INDEED DESTROYED.  IT IS QUITE LIKELY THAT SOME OF THE EXAMPLES IN THIS SUPERB COLLECTION ARE CLOSE TO BEING UNIQUE - MAYBE THE ONLY SURVIVING COPIES ANYWHERE.  PICK OF THE POPS  DISCS (WHICH ARE EVEN RARER!) WERE PRESSED FOR THE SAME USE, BUT WITHOUT THE USE OF DJ LINKS AND INTERVIEWS.

THESE DISCS ARE QUITE SIMPLY AS RARE AS IT GETS!!!
