ATTENTION BRITISH PSYCHEDELIC BEAT,1960s NON-HITS AND 1960s DEMO COLLECTORS!

HERE IS A VERY RARE ITEM,NOT TO BE FOUND VERY OFTEN AS GOOD AS THIS!

INFACT THE FIRST DEMO COPY I HAVE SEEN IN 25 YEARS AS A DEALER AND ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER SINGLES OF THE LATE 1960s.

CONSORTIUM"THE DAY THE TRAIN NEVER CAME". THIS IS THE "B" SIDE BUT THE MOST INTERESTING AND SOUGHT AFTER SIDE FOR MOST COLLECTORS WITH BRILLIANT HARMONIES,SOLID BEAT AND GREAT PRODUCTION INCLUDING NICE ORGAN! THE ACTUAL"A"SIDE="WHEN THE DAY BREAKS" WHICH IS VERY NICE POP/BEAT SIMILAR TO THE IVY LEAGUE/FORTUNES TYPE OF TRACKS WITH BIG PRODUCTION.  

THE BAND ONLY RELEASED FIVE SINGLES-THIS BEING THE  MOST SOUGHT AFTER ONE! 

THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ATTENTION,EXPOSURE OR SALES FOR THIS SINGLE WHICH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE-HARDLY ANY COPIES SURVIVE ESPECIALLY AS GOOD AS THIS WONDERFUL DEMO EXAMPLE!    

PYE 7N 17725 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A-1G/B-1G MATRIXES AND SOLID MONO MIXES.

THIS IS VERY HARD TO FIND IN DEMO FORM,ONE OF JUST A FEW HUNDRED COPIES MADE IN ADVANCE FOR DJs AND REVIEWERS!

A BEAUTIFUL STRIKINGLY CLEAN LABEL WITH THE BLACK"A"ON YELLOW BACKGROUND AND THE RELEASE DATE RUBBER STAMPED ON THE "A" SIDE LABEL(2 MAY 1969)UNLIKE THE STANDARD BLUE LABEL,SHOP COPIES!

NO STAINING OR WRITING AND THE PUSH OUT CENTRE FULLY INTACT.JUST A FAINT LINE SCUFF ON THE "B"SIDE LABEL.  

THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT COMPANY COVER THAT IS VERY CLEAN AND CRISP WITH NO WRITING! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS! 

THIS IS VERY TOUGH TO FIND AS A UK DEMONSTRATION  PRESSING AS ONLY A FEW HUNDRED WERE MADE PRE-RELEASE!

ONE OF AROUND 250 COPIES,

MADE IN ADVANCE FOR SELECTED RADIO DJs/PRODUCERS AND RECORD REVIEWERS!

THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE PRESSING!

CRISP SOUND AS EXPECTED ON ONE OF THE FIRST OFF THE MASTER STAMPERS!

EXCELLENT+++CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS ONLY VISIBLE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT-HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE,NO CLICKS, SWISHES,STICKS OR JUMPS. STRICT GRADING AND OF COURSE THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION AS A DEMO-YOU'LL WAIT YEARS TO FIND ANOTHER! MINT CONDITION,NORMAL ISSUES ARE RATED AS £30 IN THE CURRENT RECORD COLLECTOR RARE RECORD GUIDE AND AS SUCH I CONSIDER £10 A LOW AND REALISTIC STARTING PRICE FOR THIS ITEM BUT EXPECT KEEN BIDDING AS IT IS RARELY SEEN ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE AND A DEMO 45!

POSTAGE IS SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED IS ADVISED FOR THIS 45.   

IT MAY SEEM INCREDIBLE TO YOUNGER COLLECTORS , BUT  WHEN THIS DEMO 45 WAS MADE,THERE WERE VERY FEW RADIO STATIONS AND MUSIC PAPERS OR REVIEWERS TO SEND UPFRONT PROMOTIONAL RECORDS TO.A FEW IMPORTANT MAJOR RECORD DEALERS AND JUKE BOX OPERATORS MIGHT GET THEM BUT IT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL RESPECTED MUSIC INDUSTRY PROMOTIONAL STAFF THAT THE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM PRINT RUN FOR A DEMONSTRATION DISC BEFORE THE MID-1960s PIRATE RADIO AND NIGHTCLUB EXPLOSION WAS 250 COPIES-EVEN THE BEATLES"LOVE ME DO"HAD JUST 250 DEMOS MADE-SEE MARK LEWISOHN's EXCELLENT AND ESSENTIAL BOOK"BEATLES RECORDING SESSIONS"PAGE 22 FOR PROOF-HE SHOULD KNOW!!!!

THE VAST MAJORITY OF DEMOS THAT SURVIVE OFTEN HAVE CENTRES MISSING,MAJOR LABEL DEFACEMENT AND DEEP SCRATCHES etc etc. 

SO HOW MANY SURVIVE NEARLY 45 YEARS LATER AS GOOD AS THIS ONE????

THIS DEMO WAS SENT TO A FORMER BBC RADIO ONE DJ,WHO CAREFULLY FILED HIS RECORDS  ON STURDY SHELVES AWAY FROM STRONG LIGHT AND HEAT IN A CAREFULLY TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED LIBRARY AREA OF HIS HOME.

NO ONE ELSE,UNTIL ME,HAS HANDLED THEM,THEY WERE NEVER LEANT OUT,TAKEN TO DJ NIGHT TIME EVENTS OR INDEED WERE FOR THE MOST PART NOT USED ON THE BBC,AS THE STATION HAD COPIES ALREADY,THIS COPY WAS PLAYED A FEW TIMES,AND THEN FILED AWAY UNTIL NOW!

IT'S STILL IN IT'S ORIGINAL PYE COMPANY SLEEVE!

MOST COPIES HAVE NOW ENDED UP IN LONG TERM COLLECTORS COLLECTIONS AND ARE GETTING LESS FREQUENT ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN 2014!!!

NOT A DODGY REPRO AS MAY EXIST

THIS IS A GENUINE UK DEMO 45!!

(MORE DETAILS BELOW)!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY NICE DEMO 45 OF THIS FANTASTIC AND MEGA-RARE SINGLE 

-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

A DEMO 45 IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY PSYCHEDELIC BEAT/ROCK COLLECTION AND WOULD LOOK WONDERFUL FRAMED UP AS AN EXAMPLE OF A VERY SPECIAL SINGLE IN A RARELY SEEN VARIATION!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

YOU MAY NEVER FIND ONE AS GOOD AGAIN!

JUST LOOK AT MY PHOTOS!

AN ELITE ITEM FOR ANY COLLECTOR OF SERIOUSLY RARE 1960s RECORDS!

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE!! 

DEMOS WERE USUALLY PLAYED A LOT BY DJs AND IN THE"ROUGH"WORLD OF"DJing"SO OFTEN LEFT OUT OF THE COVER,BADLY TREATED OR EVEN THROWN OUT AFTER USE!

MOST DJs and REVIEWERS WOULD BE SENT DOZENS OF RECORDS EVERY WEEK AND HARDLY ANY THOUGHT LONG TERM INVESTMENT!!!!

The MONO mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

Vinyl is still the best way to hear 1960s MUSIC and always will be!   A FANTASTIC ITEM!

GREAT INVESTMENT FROM ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING RECORD EXPERTS! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is NO spindle wear.  

THE PRINT IS STILL VERY CLEAR AND SHARP.

THE COVER IS IN SUPER ORDER!

Look elsewhere on ebay and WON'T see other copies-It's been on many collectors wants lists for YEARS. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN EXCELLENT+++++++ CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A FANTASTIC DEMO 45. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
