Mayking Records Test Pressing. Promo only. Hand written label details.
4 months ago, back in February, I put another copy of this up for auction (Item # 130635847997). That copy was in GOOD condition only. In my description I said that it looked decidedly 'iffy' but played great (which it did). I also said that it would make a good collection filler until a better one came along. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome that better one. This is the copy that's been in my own personal collection for the last quarter of a century (ye gods, where did all the time go?). This is the last copy I have, it needs a new home and once it's gone, it's gone. Good luck with the bidding.
SLEEVE VG. White, die-cut on one side, generic paper sleeve. Standard age yellowing for 25 years.
RECORD 'A' SIDE VG+. If you're looking at the record as a clock face then at 11:58 right on the VERY outer edge, there's a TINY edge chip. It's so small that it doesn't even affect the tracking intro groove. So small in fact that when you flip the record over, you can't even see it on the 'B'side. There's a couple of very light scuffs when moved around in light but they have absolutely no effect on play. A little intro crackle which disappears as soon as the track starts. 'B' SIDE VG. Intro crackle more pronounced but, again, as soon as the track's underway it's gone. A couple of 'below-the-track' pops further in but they're totally unobtrusive and don't affect the listening experience overall. There are a few VERY light hairline marks and a series of pressing marks (in the form of tiny, vertical dashes, not uncommon on 70's/80's 7"singles) running in a straight line for c.1+1/2 inches. Again, these are surface level only (on as opposed to in the vinyl) and they don't affect the play. This is exactly the condition the record was in when I purchased it from a Mute Records employee back in 1987 when I had a little record shop in London's Kensington Market. It's exactly as it left their offices. From then to you.
