Spin a physical piece of British pop-art folklore with this incredibly clean UK pressing of Small Faces - "My Mind's Eye". Released by Decca Records in the winter of 1966 under the catalogue number F 12500, this particular single remains one of the most infamous releases of the era, famously rushed to the pressing plants by management entirely behind the band's back while they were away on tour.

This specific variant is houses the blue and silver boxed Decca label design, complete with the vintage K/T tax code clearly displayed on the centre. The runout grooves feature a distinct set of stamped matrix details, identifying this copy with XDR-39235-T2-1C U on the A-side and XDR-39236-T1-1C 1 UG on the flip. Despite the studio frustrations surrounding its unauthorised release, the beautifully melancholic melody of "My Mind's Eye" proved unstoppable, flying right into the UK top five. Flip the record over to find the superb, hard-driving mod dancer "I Can't Dance With You", featuring the band's trademark punchy rhythm section.

This vintage 45 rpm single is graded in Excellent (EX) condition. The vinyl looks wonderfully fresh and well-kept, retaining a gorgeous deep gloss and showing only the slightest hints of careful handling over the decades. The audio playback is remarkably bright and powerful, serving up that raw, authentic 1960s mono soundstage that modern digital reissues completely miss.

An essential target for anyone archiving the golden age of British beat, mod, and early psychedelia, this clean Decca press carries a fantastic story alongside its brilliant music. Grab this marvellous addition for your record collection today.
