Description
What's on offer?: Almost without the need for introduction, here we have a SIMPLY FANTASTIC and hugely in demand Northern Soul Monster - especially as an ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING and in MINT UNPLAYED condition!!
Artist: APRIL STEVENS
A-side: “WANTING YOU”
B-side: “FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN”
Label: MGM 1366 (UK Original)
When did you last see one of these offered for sale and, importantly, when are you likely to see one again???!!!
This is one of the TRUE HOLY GRAIL items for collectors of NORTHERN SOUL around the World and is on so many Wants Lists it's simply incredible! Many collectors have simply given up all hope of ever owning a genuine UK 1st pressing of this monster, so I fully expect LARGE bids!!! However, the “Buy It Now” facility is there for the careful consideration of those serious collectors who want to get their hands on this gem NOW!!!
Forget all the cheap bootleg repros (without push-out centres) that are doing the rounds, as you'll see from the photo this is guaranteed to be the ORIGINAL 1967 UK 1st Pressing on the MGM label. Any fan of April Stevens, the Northern Soul sound or 60s music in general, will simply have to have this in their collection!!!!
Grade (labels): The record labels are in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO wear and NO spindle marks!!! The superb mustard yellow labels are bright and vibrant and, for the lucky buyer, there is a feint broadcasting library stamp on either side that evidences an item of outstanding heritage!!!
Grade (vinyl): Most of these singles had been played on a heavy stylus and so are usually found totally worn out, almost unplayable. THIS RECORD, HOWEVER, STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK and is believed to be UNPLAYED, so strictly graded at MINT!!!!
Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT Record Collector grading standards - it's simply not in my interest to do otherwise!!!! Brilliant!!!!
Why buy?: THIS IS SUCH A BRILLIANT AND PAINFULLY RARE SINGLE. IT’S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A GENUINE COPY IN ANY CONDITION, LET ALONE PERFECT MINT UNPLAYED!!!! SO, DON'T MISS OUT!!!! THIS WILL SURELY BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1967 MGM UK 1ST PRESSING OF "WANTING YOU" BY APRIL STEVENS IN STUNNING MINT UNPLAYED CONDITION!!!! Use the 'Buy It Now' facility (if it's still available) before somebody else beats you to it!!!
