ATTENTION 1960s BRITISH BEAT AND R&B COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1964 MONO 1ST ISSUE OF THE COMPILATION LP: "R&B" WHICH INCLUDES 14 TRACKS INCLUDING SOME OF THE FINEST ACTS OF THE GENRE! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS FOR THE TRACKS ON THIS SCARCE LP ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION! 

THIS IS A 1ST ISSUE WITH THE UNBOXED AND GROOVED DECCA LABELS:LK 4616 AND THE K/T TAX CODE ON EACH LABEL.

 HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT "HANDLING" INNER SLEEVE WHICH HAS THE "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED FOR THIS LP!

LOCATING A REALLY NICE ORIGINAL UK MONO COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH ONLY HAD SLIGHT AND CAREFUL USE WITH A FEW VERY FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS ON EACH SIDE VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT WITH VERY LITTLE SURFACE NOISE INDEED! IT PLAYS FANTASTIC WITH NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT+++++ CONDITION BUT MOST OF THE DISC SOUNDS NEARER TO NEAR MINT!.

THICK VINYL. SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR.

THE INNER SLEEVE HAS NO WRITING,SPLITS,RIPS,REPAIRS! BACK IN THE 1960s MANY DEALERS WOULD WRITE THE CATALOGUE NUMBER AND SOMETIMES THE ARTIST ON THE INNER SLEEVE-THIS ONE HAS NO WRITING WHATSOEVER-A LOVELY EXAMPLE WITH JUST A FEW CREASES.    

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS A FEW MINOR CREASES AND A LITTLE STAINING AT THE BACK BUT THERE IS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER,THE INNER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £20 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE GREAT LPs  FROM ME ON EBAY.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
