Description

 

What's on offer?: Almost without the need for introduction, here we have a SIMPLY FANTASTIC and hugely IN DEMAND gem from the Psychedelic genre - particularly as this copy is an ORIGINAL FIRST UK DEMO PRESSING and in wonderful EXCELLENT + CONDITION!!!!

A PRECIOUS 'KEEPER' COPY FOR COLLECTORS OF 60s PSYCH: IT WOULD NOT BE EASY TO FIND A BETTER ONE

 

Artist: THE ACCENT

A-side: Red Sky At Night

B-side: Wind of Change

Label: Decca F 12679 (DEMO)

Matrix: DR-43148-T1-1T/DR-43149-T1-1T

 

As you'll see from the photo, this is guaranteed to be the ORIGINAL 1967 UK 1st DEMO pressing, so you can forget about having to settle for one of those dodgy so-called "limited re-pressings" (actually bootlegs) that are flooding the market. 

A simply incredible double-sider chock full of fuzz guitar and weird effects, "Red Sky At Night" was comped on "The Great British Psychedelic Trip Vol. 1".  Any fan of The Accent, the Psychedlic sound or 60s music in general, will simply have to have this beauty in their collection!!!!   

 

Grade (labels): The classic dark blue labels with large silver A are in FANTASTIC condition; there is NO unwanted handwriting, NO wear and NO obvious sign of spindle marks!!!

Grade (vinyl): In decades gone by, the general public and DJs had no idea how valuable some vinyl would turn out to be.  Hence, discs such as this were often handled with relative neglect and played on a much heavier stylus than is the case nowadays.  The result is that many discs are found to be badly marked and sometimes almost unplayable. This record, however, is strictly graded at EXCELLENT + and has obviously been well handled and carefully stored over the years!!!!

Why buy?:  This is such a BRILLIANT and PAINFULLY RARE 45.  It's virtually impossible to find a genuine copy in ANY condition, let alone this superb!!!!  So, don't miss this as it might be your only chance to buy an ORIGINAL 1967 Decca UK 1st DEMO pressing of "Red Sky At Night" by The Accent in STUNNING EXCELLENT + condition!!!

Don't forget: Look to see if I have other rare items on auction at the present time.  Many vinyl gems (always in fantastic condition) will be emerging over the coming weeks and months so, to ensure you don't miss out, please check my listings from time to time!!!

Overseas MUST pay by PayPal (+5%), UK£ Cash, UK£ IMO or direct bank transfer in exceptional circumstances. Thanks for looking. Check out my feedback and bid with complete confidence. Thank you!!!!
