Description
On offer here is a VERY rare single (especially in this condition!!!!) by The End called "Shades Of Orange" and is an ORIGINAL UK 1968 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Decca label!!!! The B side is called 'Loving, Sacred Loving'. THIS SINGLE IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST 45s ON THE DECCA LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! IT SOLD VIRTUALLY NOTHING ON RELEASE BACK IN 1968 - AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! IT IS ALSO VERY SOUGHT AFTER BY ROLLING STONES COLLECTORS AS BOTH SIDES ARE PRODUCED BY (AND RUMOURED TO FEATURE) BILL WYMAN!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS 45 IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!! AND PLEASE NOTE - THAT ALTHOUGH 1 LABEL DOES HAVE A WRITING TRACE & 2 STICKER RESIDUE TRACES (NOT TEARS!) THESE ARE MADE TO LOOK MILES WORSE IN MY PICTURES (DUE TO THE CAMERA FLASH!) AND IN REALITY THE WRITING TRACES ARE VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE, AND THE STICKER RESIDUE TRACES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS VISIBLE THAN MY PICTURE SHOWS - AS THE LABELS ARE VERY DARK IN COLOUR!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS DECCA LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIXES, AND 1ST PRESS DECCA COMPANY SLEEVE!!!! THIS SINGLE IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Decca label and the Cat No is F.22750.
The record labels are in BRILLIANT condition (see pictures) and are as described above with 1 label being PERFECT and the other having the minor defects (which look FAR better in reality) as explained above. The labels also have barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The record is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s singles had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This record is NOT and has NO scratches, only 3 or 4 VERY light hairlines, only 3 or 4 VERY light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is GREAT to find that the record plays EVEN BETTER than the visual with NO pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! This single must grade Very Good+ if not better - and plays SUPERBLY!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! This record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Decca Company Sleeve which is in SUPERB condition and most importantly UNSPLIT!!!! THIS SINGLE IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!
