Description

On offer a very nice first pressing rare black and gold mono. This example has a 4mm ridge on both sides approximately a half inch from centre hole. This is clearly not the usual parlophone press. Maybe a contract issue.

The cover is not mint by any means but is still very presentable with a high gloss on the laminated side. This is the correct E J Day cover and has no serious issues.

Vinyl:      Has a number of light stylus marks and scuffs. One stylus mark which runs across one and a half tracks on side 2 is likely feelable and produces some clicks, but does not affect the stunning playback. Good thumping sound with plenty of bass. Definitely no jumps or skips.

Matrix numbers:          Xex 421-1n     XEX 422-1n

Mothers/stampers:      The very earliest first press 1ga and 1gp

Tax code:                      Tax code is MT. This is quite rare also, as the tax code is off-set in this manner. The M is at the north of the spindle hole and the T is at the right of the spindle hole. They should of course be, west/east accordingly.

Playback

Despite the surface issues the playback is amazing from this deep groove vinyl. If you're looking for mint, then please do not bid on this item. Otherwise a great play.

Please note all items will be professionally and securely packed.
