Description

Please ensure you read the info in the 'Condition Description' panel up above and fully understand what you are considering bidding on. Please also read the postage charges below, especially the paragraph in red text.
When these discs I'm currently listing were originally released (1964 -1970 approx) they were basically just termed 'pop' music. In later decades they have been categorised into different genres by some, ie Freakbeat , Psychedelic , Mod , Garage and more. Most folks have their own interpretation and opinions on what is what, which is which, plus there was a natural crossover/merging of styles through those years. You know what you're looking at, so don't necessarily accept my titles as being 100% accurate.
For auction here is this 45 / Extended Play (vinyl) copy of The Pretty Things EP by The Pretty Things on the Fontana label TE 17434. It comes complete with the original picture sleeve.
The tracks are as listed on the rear cover (photo 2). My first introduction to two of these Pretty Things classics were on David Bowie's 'Pin Ups' album in the mid 70s, on which he covered both 'Don't Bring Me Down' and 'Rosalyn'. Listening to them here, it's amazing how he stayed so faithful to these original recordings.
A great EP if you're into your early Mod / R & B sounds, as Bowie obviously was. Four superb songs.
I have played it through a couple of times and it plays great without jumping or getting stuck anywhere, but there is light surface noise (crackling) on both sides, really only heard on the run in / run out. Hardly noticeable once the music starts. There are very light, wispy marks and scratches to the vinyl. The vinyl is a lot shinier than my photos suggest (rubbish camera and useless photographer).
The labels are nice and clean, with just spindle marks near the centre.
The picture sleeve is fine, minor handling marks, storage wear, creasing, but no splits on the edges. One small piece of the laminate surface missing, to the left of the word THE (top left on the rear, clearly visible in my pic). Much as you see it in my photos. 

I do not specialise in vinyl sales, but I have sold many, many records (LP's & 45s) over the years and although I don't specialise, none of my buyers have ever returned a record or left me Negative or Neutral feedback. All have been happy with their purchases. Please see my feedback and bid with confidence.

I am always ready to resolve any problems, so please always contact me first, before leaving anything other than Positive feedback.

Opening bid on this item is £9.99 (A relatively scarce 45) 

Postage & Packing will be £1.95 (UK), which includes the cost of the record mailer in which it will be sent. Shipping will be substantially more for overseas. Please message me for a quote before placing a bid if you are not in the UK. Please be aware, if the £15 overseas shipping appears on my listing in your country, it is only an estimate, it may be more (or less) to your particular location. I will only ship overseas using a tracked / signed for service via the Royal Mail.


Overseas bidders please note: If you choose to use the eBay Global Shipping, my involvement / responsibility ends once they have accepted the item.
I am happy to combine postage if more than one item is bought. Any combination of discs or even a single disc that finishes with a value of more than £20, will be sent via a Royal Mail 'signed for' service, at cost to the buyer. Please wait for a revised invoice before paying. Thank you.
