Due to change of circumstances, I am selling off my record collection of mainly MOD orientated 1960's soul and freakbeat 45s.
These are not duplicates or DJ copies. They are (in 90% of cases) my PRISTINE TOP COPIES in MINT or MINT- condition.
I have been a serious collector and my gradings can be completely trusted. Please check my 100% 5 STAR Ebay feedback as a private seller.

This absolute gem of a floor-filler from the MOD holy grail is as follows:

"Hold On"  B/W "Reflections of Charles Brown" by RUPERT'S PEOPLE
The band better known among mod aficionados as Fleur De Lys deliver a tight, attacking blast of 60s beat brilliance with a blistering guitar solo. The Sharon Tandy version is a mod staple, but this altogether rarer version arguably packs an even greater punch (better guitar solo). Sublime! 
PLEASE NOTE - this is NOT the Sharon Tandy version. The Fleur De Lys DID record the Sharon Tandy version but this is their OWN version.
A rare and fabulous slice of MOD freakbeat grading a very strong EX on the COLUMBIA label DO-5016. It plays through perfectly with loud and sharp audio and is the best copy I could ever find of this rarity! The B-side has a sticker that says "Sample, Not for Sale". The labels are otherwise as issued but with spindle trails visible when held to the light.
