A VERY RARE 1965 P S DANISH MONO SINGLE - CBS 201 811. SIDE A: LIKE A ROLLING STONE SIDE B: GATES OF EDEN.

THIS SLEEVE DESIGN IS UNIQUE TO DENMARK. CBS SCANDINAVIAN 7" SINGLES WERE NORMALLY ALL PRESSED IN NORWAY, WITH THE COUNTRIES OF NORWAY, SWEDEN AND DENMARK USING LOCALLY-PRINTED SLEEVES. THE DANISH AND NORWEGIAN SLEEVES WERE PLAIN WHITE ON THE REVERSE, THE SWEDISH SLEEVES WERE FOLDED SHEETS WITH THE SAME DESIGN ON BOTH SIDES. DANISH SINGLES SOLD IN RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBERS SO ARE HARD TO FIND IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS COPY HOWEVER WAS PRESSED BY PHILIPS IN THE UK , OTHER COPIES WERE ISSUED FROM THE SAME UK PHILIPS PLANT CARRYING NORMAL UK LABELS, AND A THIRD VARIANT HAD NORWEGIAN PRESSED SINGLES PRESSED BY POLYGRAM IN OSLO, BUT THOSE CARRIED THE NORWEGIAN CATALOGUE NUMBER 1.952.THE SLEEVE FOR ALL THREE VERSIONS WAS IDENTICAL, WITH THE DANISH CATALOGUE NUMBER. THE TWO OTHER VARIANTS ARE SHOWN IN THE LAST TWO PICTURES FOR REFERENCE ONLY - NOT INCLUDED.THE SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT BUT HAS YELLOWING AND AGE STAINING - COMENSURATE WITH IT'S AGE - SEE THE PICTURES. THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND THE VINYL IS SHINY, FREE OF DAMAGE AND LOOKS ALMOST AS NEW, AND PLAYS WITHOUT SKIPS AND ONLY MINOR BACKGROUND NOISE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY WELL CARED FOR 59 YEAR OLD SINGLE.

THE START PRICE REFLECTS THE RARITY BUT ALSO THE SLEEVE DISCOLOURATION - WHICH IS SLIGHTLY YELLOWER THAN THE PICTURES SHOW. (S150)
