ATTENTION THE SHADOWS COLLECTORS,1960s NON-HITS COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS!  

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 SHADOWS NON-HIT: "SLAUGHTER ON TENTH AVENUE". UNUSUAL CHOICE AS IT IS THE RICHARD RODGERS 1940s SEMI-CLASSICAL PIECE WHICH RUNS FOR OVER FIVE MINUTES DURING THE CRAZE FOR LONG SINGLES IN THE LATE 1960s! THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ATTENTION OR SALES FOR THIS SINGLE AS THE SHADOWS WERE FAR LESS POPULAR BY THIS TIME AND AS THIS SINGLE FAILED TO CHART,IT PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OR EVEN WEEKS OF ISSUE! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY ESPECIALLY AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE THAT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN 46 YEARS AND VERY WELL PRESERVED!

THE"B"SIDE=A HANK MARVIN SOLO: "MIDNIGHT COWBOY"-THE JOHN BARRY COMPOSED FILM THEME.

BOTH SIDES ARE IN STEREO-I THINK THISE WAS THE FIRST SHADOWS STEREO SINGLE.

THIS IS SERIOUSLY RARE-INFACT I DON'T RECALL EVER FINDING A COPY FOR YEARS!

  ISSUED IN 1969(46 YEARS AGO!) ON THE EMI PRESSED COLUMBIA  LABEL:DB 8628 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE -1/-1 MATRIXES AND THE K T TAX CODES IN EACH DEAD WAX.

THE RECORD HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH NO SURFACE MARKS WHATSOEVER! HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO LOUD CLICKS,JUMPS OR STICKS. CLEAN LABELS WITH NO WRITING. 

STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION. PLAYS SUPERB!

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT COLUMBIA COMPANY COVER WITH SOME MINOR CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS AND STILL VERY PRESENTABLE INDEED. THERE IS A LOW,REALISTIC £7 STARTING PRICE FOR A SINGLE WHICH RARELY TURNS UP ESPECIALLY IN THIS FABULOUS CONDITION!

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.
