Description
THE DRIFTERS SOLDIER OF FORTUNE / I GOTTA GET MYSELF A WOMAN HLE 8344 DEMOS! PLEASE READ THE WHOLE LISTING CAREFULLY, THANK YOU.
AUCTION FOR TWO INCREDIBLY RARE RECORDS.
THESE ARE THE DEMONSTRATION ONLY SINGLE SIDED RELEASES FOR WHAT WAS THE DRIFTERS 1956 RELEASE "SOLDIER OF FORTUNE / I GOTTA GET MYSELF A WOMAN" CAT NO. HLE 8344, RELEASED ON THE LONDON LABEL AND WHICH IN ITSELF ONLY SOLD IN TINY AMOUNTS AND IS A RARE SINGLE ( BOOKS AT £1000!)
AS STATED ABOVE THESE ARE THE SINGLE SIDED DEMOS OF EACH OF THE TWO SONGS, WITH CORRECTED PRE-RELEASE CAT NO.S MSM 1403 / MSM 1404.
INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND ON THEIR OWN, LET ALONE BOTH A & B DEMOS TOGETHER!
BOTH RECORDS ARE HOUSED IN THEIR ORIGINAL PLAIN BROWN SLEEVES WHICH WERE THE STANDARD ISSUE FOR DEMOS OF THE TIME.
BOTH RECORDS HAVE A FAIR BIT OF SURFACE MARKING AND SCUFFING, BUT THEY PLAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH VERY WELL AS YOU WILL SEE IF YOU HOOK UP TO THE YOUTUBE VIDEO I'VE JUST POSTED. THE TITLE TO PUT IN THE YOUTUBE SEARCH BOX IS "THE DRIFTERS SOLDIER OF FORTUNE/I GOTTA GET A WOMAN SUPER RARE LONDON DEMOS!" WHERE YOU WILL SEE I HAVE RECORDED BOTH SINGLES PLAYING BACK TO BACK. TAKE NOTE OF HOW FLAT THE VINYL RUNS.
AS USUAL, THE DEMOS ARE SINGLE SIDED, WHERE THE REVERSE HAS A PLAIN BLACK LABEL, WITH A CUT TRACK GROOVE, GIVING A MONOTONE SOUND CHECK NOISE.
BOTH RECORDS HAVE THE CORRECTED CAT NO.S MSM 1403 AND MSM 1404 AND ALSO HAVE THE TRACK TIMES, AND ACTUAL RELEASED SINGLE CAT NO. (HLE 8344) HANDWRITTEN IN PEN ON THE LABELS.
SUPER RARE, SUPER COOL, VERY HARD TO FIND THESE DAYS, ESPECIALLY BOTH TOGETHER. THE LAST SALE OF THESE I COULD FIND WAS IN 2012. YOU MAY NEVER SEE THESE UP FOR SALE AGAIN, THEY MIGHT BE THE LAST ONES TO BE FOUND!
THE RECORDS WILL BE SENT SECURELY PACKAGED, BY REGISTERED, INSURED, AND TRACKED POST.
