[Soulfulsolutions]

A near perfect copy of a Northern anthem up for grabs grabs…..

Happy to send additional images or sound files where needed. PM any questions or to reserve.

Youth Opportunity Program – Of hopes and dreams and tombstones – Columbia 43407 WD NM £1000

Could be a Gareth Southgate post-match summary, but in reality its Jimmy Fraser providing the vocals for a 60s US Government program to encourage the youth of another time and place to extend their education. No idea what success it had then, probably go down like a lead balloon here now, but from the day of its discovery it has gone on to and still fills the floors at all the best Northern venues right across the world.

I don’t often say it, but you won’t see a better copy, clean vinyl, near mint, clean labels, unblemished. Just a tiny nick on the edge of the instrumental sides outer edge at 5 o’clock, easily cued to avoid it if you fancy the non-vocal, does not affect stunning playback. Seen Vg+ copies offered at the same price, without the historic sleeve, which will accompany this copy. Sleeve is Ex, minor creases, some dirt on label from storage and the date Sep 65 penned on to clarify what year. Fab record, top condition, rare sleeve, how often does does everything fall in place?
