Description
Paul McCartney single "GETTING CLOSER!!!! 1 & G A LABEL Demonstration Not For Sale ORIGINAL from 1979!!!!
Released on the 16th August 1979!!!! This entered the UK charts on the 1st September 1979 where it reached the Number 60 slot and remained in the charts for a total of 3 weeks!!!!
This was the 23rd official single release by Paul McCartney!!!!
This single was credited to "Wings" and the line up consisted of Paul, Linda, Denny Laine, Lawrence Juber and Steve Holly!!!!
The LASR "Wings" single, and therefore the LAST release to feature the above line-up was declared a double A-Side!!!! Both tracks were taken from the "Back To The Egg" Album which was dropping down the Chart, unfortunately this release did Nothing to boost the Album sales, failing Miserably in the Chart!!!
The single was released in a Picture Sleeve. The Front cover featured a picture NOT designed with this record in mind, it was taken from a 1978 book entitled Work Of Hipgnosis-Walk Away Renee, and was listed under "Unsold Ideas"!!!!
The Rear picture was a Still from the promotional film for "Baby's Request"!!!!
The Label is once again a "Fried Egg" with no apparent record name, except a reference to MPL, and the Parlophone "R" type number!!!!
The Matrix, Mother and Stampers are:
Side One: 7YCE-21811-1U. On the run out grooves there are the numbers 1 and the letters G.
Side Two: 7YCE-21812-2U. On the run out grooves there are the numbers 1 and the letters G.
The above Codes prove this to be one of the Very First First Pressings cut of this highly sought after single!!!! Only a Handfull of these Demonstration Not For Sale singles were produced and they were given to "Radio Disc Jockeys", "Record Executives" and EMI Employees to help Promote the sales of each Record!!!! These were NOT FOR SALE and should NOT have got through to the General Public!!!!
CONDITION!!!!
The Picture Labels to Both Sides: are in Excellent Condition with No signs of Wear or Marks!!!! The Vinyl still retains that Gloosy Look and has clearly been Very Well looked after which is reflected in the playback!!!! There are a few "Tiny" marks showing on the Vinyl when held up to a bright light (though most of these have been caused by handling) There is a little background noise to Side:2 but nothing that spoils the listening!!!! There are no Pops, Clicks or Jumps anywhere!!!! I play graded this on a Linn LP12 Sondek through a Linn System (which is very unforgiving). The Playback was "Superb"!!!! The record lays perfectly Flat with no Warping!!!!
I would give this Record an overall grade of EXCELLENT!!!!
Please be aware that this Record is for the Label Enthusiast as opposed to the Listening Devotee!!!! These A Label Demos do NOT surface Often as once they are in a Collectors possession they as a Rule stay!!!!
This Record comes supplied in it's ORIGINAL Picture Sleeve which is in VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT condition!!!!
