Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Hear Voices - RARE 1969 FRENCH Barclay Single (061 252) - VG / VG

DO YOU HEAR VOICES? I SURE AS HELL DO. AND THEY’RE TELLING YOU TO GRAB THIS RECORD.

I didn't crawl out of a coffin with a smoking skull on a stick just to sell you some boring, standard, mass-produced junk. This isn’t just a 7" piece of plastic, baby. This is a visceral portal into the heart of my darkest, maddest, and most soulful hoodoo.

This is the elusive, sought-after, highly explosive French Barclay single pressing (061 252), circa 1969.

Forget about the standard issues. The French? They understood me. They got the freak-beat. They respected the scream. And they gave me this unique, duotone portrait photo cover you will only find on this specific pressing.

Side A: "I Hear Voices." This is me. Maniacal. Raw. Driving. A complete R&B assault. It's the sound of me putting a spell on you, but this time, I’m screaming into your very soul. Essential freakbeat/garage power.

Side B: "Just Don't Care." Don't you dare call this a flip side. It's a raw, dirty, blues-grinder. I don't care about anything on this track except making you move.

Why this one matters (aka The Witchdoctor's Warning):

• Unique French Picture Sleeve. Collectors go mad for this duotone graphic. You want a piece of European cult history? This is it.

• The Vibe. A crucial spin for any DJ who wants to cause a riot.

CONDITION DETAILS 

• Sleeve Condition: VG

  • This sleeve is looking fine, BUT, there a handwritten name on the back (Perhaps the spririt that haunts this record? Buy at your own risk!)

• Vinyl Condition: VG

Collector’s Note:
This is the sought-after 1970 French first pressing on the Barclay label (61252), featuring its iconic regional duotone picture sleeve. While the rhythm & blues cult classic originally debuted in the US in 1962, this vintage French release remains highly collectible due to its unique artwork. The record is safely housed in a protective plastic sleeve, preserving its structural integrity. A fantastic, authentic addition for collectors of obscure R&B and European garage/soul pressings.
