VELVET HUSH "Broken Heart" b/w "Lover Please" Oak Records R.G. Jones of Morden 7" vinyl single 1969

Track details in photos above.  Plays perfectly.  There is the owners name written in red on the OAK silver label (see photo).
Please ask if you have any questions. Incredibly rare. Songs written and performed by Andy Ed Qunta of Epsom College, Surrey, with Mendy Qunta and Dick Bloom.
I will combine items to save you postage, where possible. I'm sorry it looks a little dusty in the photos, but a vinyl cleaner cloth would take away what shows under the camera lens.

In view of the bidding on this I have added 7 more photos - please check them carefully, though it's not that easy taking photos of black objects and then trying to see any imperfections! (Same comment for Pneumania.)
I played this single at the time I bought it new from the band themselves, but then not for about 47 years until this week when I tested it.  It sounds really vibrant and alive to me and there are no skips or jumps (and I personally can't hear any scratches).  On the lead in, with the volume up, there are the faintest typical vinyl crackles before the song starts.  Please do ask me if you have any questions or want more details - especially about the condition of the vinyl.
This will be posted Special Delivery to the winning bidder.  Please pay promptly as it will need to be posted the day after bidding ends due to my work commitments.

During the quiet piano slow sections of Broken Heart, it is possible to hear the slight sound (almost crackle) of the stylus in the groove, but this is not audible in the louder parts of the song.

Thanks very much for your question.  I'm holding Velvet Hush's single now and both A and B sides look very clean indeed with no visible imperfections as far as I can see myself.  However, as stated in the description the A side "Broken Heart" is a ballad with quiet piano backed verses (where the very slight crackling can be heard) but the choruses are faster tempo and quite loud (so difficult to hear any wear there).  The B side "Lover Please" is a Hendrix inspired psychedelic type of rocker and I can't hear any scratches and there are certainly no jumps here too (again I recorded it onto cassette and have been listening to that a few times).  I bought the single new from the band themselves in 1969 (they were at the same school as Pneumania but a year or two younger); the two main members Andy Qunta and Tony Qunta were the song writers and they formed a professional band together in 1970 called 'Factory', which has recently reformed and made a CD album called "Back in the Time Machine" (which I recently bought from Amazon and I can certainly recommend it very highly).
