ATTENTION HOLLIES AND 1960s 45s COLLECTORS!  AFTER MANY YEARS OF COLLECTING 1960s 45s,DUE TO A DAUGHTER AT UNIVERSITY AND THE NEED TO STREAMLINE MY COLLECTION, I AM GRADUALLY SELLING OFF OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS SOME OF THE MANY SINGLES I HAVE KEPT FOR YEARS. BEING A WELL KNOWN COLLECTOR AND DEALER YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE SOME AMAZING AND IN SOME CASES VERY HARD TO FIND GEMS-ALL WITH CAREFUL GRADINGS AND IN DEPTH INFORMATION! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ITEM FOR ANY SERIUOS HOLLIES COLLECTION!

  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1966 PRESSING  OF THE CLASSIC HOLLIES SINGLE:"BUS STOP".

THIS WAS A #5 HIT  IN THE UK AND THE USA BUT HARD TO FIND AS GOOD AS THIS COPY! UNLIKE MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP THIS ONE IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT WAVY CUT TOP  PARLOPHONE COMPANY COVER WITH THE "FRAN THE FAN/BEAT GROUPS" ADVERT ON ONE SIDE WHICH IS VERY CLEAN-JUST SOME TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,REPAIRS OR STAINING. THE DISC ITSELF HAVING THE "SOLD IN THE UK" TEXT. PARLOPHONE R 5469 AND THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE -1/-1 MATRIXES.  ONLY SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR AND A FAINT "20" IN PEN ON THE "A" SIDE LABEL. A VERY NICE COPY WITH GLEAMING SURFACES AND ONLY A COUPLE OF FAINT SURFACE MARKS! CENTRE INTACT.

JUST COMPARE WITH OTHER COPIES AND TRY TO FIND ANOTHER COPY EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE!  THE"B"SIDE IS "DON'T RUN AND HIDE".  BOTH SIDES SOUNDING MAGNIFICENT IN  POWERFUL AND BASS FILLED MONO MIXES! THE GUITARS LEAP OUT OF THE SPEAKERS WITH EQUAL EXCITEMENT THAT IS LACKING ON THE STEREO VERSIONS! UNLIKE MOST COPIES THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE.STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT++++++CONDITION MANY WOULD STATE NEAR MINT. 

DURING THE 1960s,RECORDS WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT,SOMETIMES TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS NOT HAD MUCH USE AT ALL WITH NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS! CLEAN LABELS-HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR! GREAT INVESTMENT WITH A LOW AND REALISTIC £5 STARTING PRICE! TOTALLY FLAT VINYL! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!

READ ON CAREFULLY FOR ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS GEM!

YOU MIGHT FIND CHEAPER COPIES BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL BE AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE! 

YOU'LL LOVE IT FOR YEARS AND HOPEFULLY WILL RETURN TO ME AGAIN!   

SUPERB MONO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
