This a very rare item indeed.
A 10" metal/vinyl advance copy acetate by The Llan.
Little is known about this band other than they came from Wales, won a talent competition when known as the Vogues, signed by CBS who wanted a Welsh name, hence the Llan.
Released in 1966 on CBS 202405.
Line up was Tony Cockings -bass, Bob Warren - lead guitar, Rickie Thomas - rhythm guitar & Ray Harward on drums.
"Anytime" is a catchy typical beat tune whilst "Realise" borders on early hippiedom. Both sides are very reminiscent of the Beatles sound of that time.
You can hear both sides on YouTube.
Please see photos for condition which is VG-. It has been played but there is no detraction on sound. Note that whilst the disc is 10", the actual 7" disc @ 45rpm is embedded into it.
Please note the last photo which shows a very small chip on the extreme outer edge in the vinyl but exposes the metal disc itself. This in no way affects play as the actual playing surface is miles away !!!.
