Wet Wet Wet – Sweet Little Mystery 12" Vinyl Single (1987 UK Original, The Precious Organisation / Phonogram JEWL 412)
£3.00
Bring home a definitive slice of late-80s British pop-soul with this 1987 UK original 12" maxi-single from Scottish hitmakers Wet Wet Wet. Released via The Precious Organisation / Phonogram (Catalog No. JEWL 412), this release features their timeless signature anthem, Sweet Little Mystery, taken from their massive debut album Popped In Souled Out.
Co-produced by Michael Baker and The Axeman for Simple Simon Inc. and mixed by Michael Baker alongside Rafe McKenna, this single features the smooth vocals of Marti Pellow layered over crisp, soulful production. The B-side delivers fantastic value for collectors, offering two standout tracks: their rendition of James Taylor's classic "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" and the band's own "World In Another".
An essential acquisition for fans of classic 80s sophisti-pop, Scottish pop history, and collectors of original UK chart-era 12" singles.

Condition Report
- Overall Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)
- Vinyl Disc: Very Good Plus (VG+). The heavy black vinyl displays a high, bright original sheen. Upon close inspection under direct light, it reveals only faint, superficial paper hairlines that do not affect playback. The distinctive custom blue-and-white "The Precious Organisation" center labels are clean, crisp, and completely free from spindle trails, stickers, or writing.
- Sleeve / Jacket: Very Good (VG). The colorful picture sleeve featuring Ken Donald and John Main's art direction looks vibrant on the front cover. The reverse side shows standard light shelf wear, including minor scuffing around the edges, faint ring impression on the lighter blue background, and slight corner softening typical of its age. The spine is secure and fully intact.
