THE DOWNLINERS SECT
"THE SECT SING SICK SONGS
COLUMBIA RECORDS Cat# SEG 8438
UK Original 1965 pressing
**************************************************************
THE DOWNLINERS SECT were an enigmatic British R'nB outfit who sometimes defied commercial appeal in favour of.... well, having some fun!
This is certainly a departure from the kind of blues their peers - Artwoods, Animals and Yardbirds- were filling halls with. More like tongue in cheek mimickry of those American dark death songs, often played at Halloween.
This EP is extraordinary to say the least!
Seriously rare, it's a tough record to find in any decent playing shape, so this is a revelation!
A TOP copy, only missing it's original centre - but playing perfectly.
I won't include the plastic adapter centre, as it could pop out and damage this super clean disc.
CONDITION;
The VINYL is NEAR MINT.
Top sheen, and really as sold way back in 1965.
LABLES are NEAR MINT with the centre having been removed (as was often done in European countries and the US).
The light LAMINATED FLIPBACK picture sleeve is in EXCELLENT shape.
A great condition copy on this classic 7".
See photos.
