This particular auction :

Artist : Jimmy Winston and his Reflections

Record : Sorry She's Mine / It's Not What You Do (But The Way That You Do It)

Label : Decca Records

Record Number : F.12410

Record Type : 7" single

Mono / Stereo :

Date : 1966

Record Condition : Very Good

Cover Condition : Plain white sleeve

Comments : This is an EXTREMELY RARE Small Faces-related Freakbeat single, the holy grail for Sixties collectors. Jimmy Winston was the original Small Faces keyboard player but was replaced in 1966, less than a year after they were formed.

The record plays well on both sides, though I would not describe it as excellent. There are some light scratches and background noise audible but the music is loud so it does not interfere that much with the listening pleasure. There is an unfortunate mark on the B-side which doesn't look great (see photo) but it doesn't affect play.

This is how another seller (more knowledgeable than me) described this rarity a few years ago :

"Next to Winston's own stunning 1967 follow-up (WINSTONS FUMBS' "Real Crazy Apartment") this is easily the rarest and most sought-after SMALL FACES-related single; not least because it was the same tune that they capably delivered on their Decca self-titled debut album, but this time Winston and his pals souped it up and fuzzed it into a more threatening, hard-hitting, attacking statement. It is wonderful, leaves you breathless, and deserves to have the volume whacked up! What Jimmy Winston lacks in Steve Marriott-like soulful tones, he makes up for in in-yer-face enthusiastic vocal belting with powerful instrumentation to back it up. This is a true landmark in British (Freak)beat, hastening the turn-round to heavier and more psychedelic attitudes."

RECORD GRADING :

Please note we grade records VISUALLY ONLY, we sadly do not have time to play-grade records. Records are carefully inspected on both sides under strong light. This will normally pick up most defects but not all of them as visual inspection is clearly not as thorough as play-grading and some minor audible defects may go undetected. The following criteria are used to describe the condition of the record :

• MINT : We never describe a record as mint, no matter how good it looks, unless it is sealed and guaranteed unplayed. Covers may be descibed as mint if there are no blemishes of any kind.
• EXCELLENT : The record shows some signs of having been played, but no scratches or other significant blemishes can be detected with the naked eye under strong light. We would expect there to be very little lessening in sound quality. The cover may have very small defects but no tears, rips or significant wear to the edges, and no writing or non-original stickers on them.
• VERY GOOD : The record has obviously been played but we would expect no major deterioration in sound quality, despite a few noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. There is normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items but no major defects such as tears, rips or excessive writing.
• GOOD : The record has been played so much that the sound quality may have noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and several scratches. The cover and contents suffer from either creases, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. or perhaps even several of these.
• FAIR : The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and probably displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. There may be many scratches and blemishes. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced in some way.
• POOR/BAD : We do not sell records in this condition.
