Description

Over the next few weeks I will be selling some of the best pieces from my collection. I have worked in the record industry since the 1960s, and as a teenage plugger for Decca in the mid-60s I witnessed the birth of many of these 45s, and received the earliest copies of them.  Many are promos, and there are demos and acetates aplenty. Bands represented include the Beatles, the Stones, Bowie and others, as well as legendary psychedelic one-offs.

ARTIST

The Small Faces

TITLE

Patterns / E Too D

LABEL

Decca

DATE

May 26th 1967

DETAILS

Here's a very sought-after demonstration copy of this brilliant 45, said by some to be their rarest. The band refused to promote it, meaning that it barely sold.

CONDITION

Side A is NM with tiny hairlines, side B has an inaudible scuff, otherwise EX. Beautiful!

COMMENTS

'My main memory of the Small Faces is their height. Their faces weren't especially small, mind. Steve Marriott was truly minute, a true Cockney geezer, and had a very powerful personality and mod image.'

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A GUARANTEED UK ORIGINAL PRESSING AND NOT A COUNTERFEIT.

PAYMENT

PAYPAL IS PREFERRED BUT UK CASH AND CHEQUES ARE ALSO WELCOME.

GOOD LUCK - AND REMEMBER: IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, WE CAN WORK IT OUT... THE BIDDER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!
