ATTENTION MATT MONRO COLLECTORS!

MATT MONRO(SPELT MUNRO)DICKIE BISHOP

(+ OTHER ARTISTS)"TOP POP CLUB"

AN ORIGINAL 1959 UK THICK PRESSED SOCIETY LABEL MONO 10"LP:TPC 16.

LOOK AT THE FABULOUS COVER PHOTO WITH A YOUNG GIRL GETTING INTO THE MUSIC FROM HER HIFI(!!)(WHERE IS SHE NOW? PROBABLY ABOUT 70!!)WORTH IT ALONE TO FRAME UP!

There are of course many MATT MONRO collectors around the world and this is without doubt one of his rarest items recorded after he was dropped by DECCA but BEFORE George Martin signed him to PARLOPHONE!!

Most Matt Monro fans won't even know about this LP!!!!

His quality style oozes out even at this early stage on what is quite frankly a really cheapo cover versions item that MOST would IGNORE!!!!!!!!

Dickie Bishop of course was a British rock and roll performer who was on 6-5 Special and had been on DECCA but here he is singing a bit flat on"Lonely boy"!!!

The whole LP is a fascinating time warp and must be one of the first ever cover version LPs issued in the UK.

YOU WILL NEVER FIND ANOTHER COPY!!!!!!! 

THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

DICKIE BISHOP AND THE TALONS:LONELY BOY + ONLY SIXTEEN

MATT MUNRO(MONRO LATER):TWIXT TWELVE AND TWENTY + I KNOW + HEART OF THE MAN

JUNE MARLOW:THE WONDER OF YOU+LIPSTICK ON YOUR COLLAR

KEITH BIRD AND THE BIRDIES:PETER GUNN

DENNIS WILSON:SUMMER OF THE 17TH DOLL

THE HIGHLIGHTS:LA PLUME DE MA TANTE.

**************************************************

THIS LP IS BELOW MY NORMAL STANDARDS(SEE DESCRIPTION BELOW) BUT BEING VERY RARE IS IDEAL AS A GAP FILLER AND FOR THE MOST PART PLAYS WELL BUT IF YOU ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN EXCELLENT OR BETTER DO NOT BID FOR THIS ITEM BUT YOU WILL NOT FIND IT EASILY!!!!!!!

SOCIETY HAD A LIMITED PROMOTIONAL BUDGET AND AT THIS STAGE WERE A MAIL ORDER ONLY RECORD CLUB AND AS SUCH THE PRINT RUN FOR THIS LP WOULD PROBABLY BE NO MORE THAN 500 COPIES AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS LP BEFORE ALTHOUGH OF COURSE LATER 12"LPs ON THE SOCIETY LABEL WERE SOLD IN SHOPS AND ARE MAINLY WORTHLESS!!!

THIS COPY HAS BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES WITH A NUMBER OF MARKS BUT PLAYS VERY WELL WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE,A FEW CLICKS,BUT NO STICKS OR JUMPS!

GRADED AS GOOD+++. 

THE GLOSSY/LAMINATED FRONT SLEEVE HAS HAD A SMALL RIP PARTLY REPAIRED AT THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER AT THE BACK AND SOME LAMINATION PEELING.

A LITTLE FAINT STAINING AT THE BACK BUT THERE IS NO WRITING.

THIS 10" LP IS VERY HARD TO FIND.

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

TOUGH TO FIND AS IN 1959,THE MAJORITY OF BRITISH FANS OF THIS MUSIC WERE ONLY BUYING THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS AS SINGLES AND THIS LP DID NOT HAVE MUCH PUBLICITY AND PROBABLY NO RADIO EXPOSURE AS IT WAS A COVER VERSIONS LABEL! GREAT INVESTMENT!!!

TOTALLY FLAT THICK VINYL!

GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!
