You are bidding on the following item:
Artist: Ocean Colour Scene
Release year: 1995
Release label: MCA
Title: ‘You've Got It Bad'
Barcode: unbarcoded. This is a promo only copy marked up 'OCS1'
This record is from my own collection and purchased back in 1996, when I first hooked on this band around the 1996 release of 'Moseley Shoals'. Do not underestimate the rarity of this record! You can see that this release pre-dated the first single of that album, 'The Riverboat Song' (issued 5th February 1996) by at least two months based on the 1995 labelling detail, and was clearly planned as the first single MCA based on the catalogue number of 'OCS1'. This vinyl single was pressed in tiny quantities and issued to press and music industry contacts to stimulate interest in the band. (Ultimately this release became the second single off the album, being released March 26th 1996, and was replaced after Chris Evan's promotion of the band on TFI, playing 'The Riverboat Song', launching the band into UK 'Brit Pop' movement with a bang!).
Format: 7” black vinyl record in thin delicate black and white sleeve. The track 'You've Got it Bad' is replicated on both sides and has a quick fade and lasts around 3:55.
Condition: This is a really rare single, and I’m not claiming that this copy is mint, but due to the rarity felt compelled to offer to an OCS fan. The outer cover is harshly graded as excellent minus, due to minor yellowing, minimal finger marks and minor grubby points on the sleeve. I have photographed under harsh halogen lighting to highlight any defect! The record is very good condition, and plays the loud, dynamic track well on both sides with very minor background noise. Record is harshly graded as very good condition, with a nice glossy surface, a couple of minor scuffs and light hairline markings. So not mint, but a great copy of a super rare single that plays well.
