THIS IS A FIRST DEMO WHITE PRESSING WHICH WAS SENT TO THE LABEL OFFICE AND PRESS OFFICE BEFORE THE PRESSING OF THE ACTUAL RECORD.  HENCE NO ACTUAL DETAILS ON THE LABEL.

THIS WAS FOR USE INTERNALLY BEFORE THE ACTUAL LAUNCH OF THE RECORD. 

I WORKED IN THE UK POP PRESS OFFICE OF EMI RECORDS, MANCHESTER SQUARE IN LONDON IN THE 70'S AND THIS WAS ONE OF MY COPIES.  IT HAS NO ACTUAL LABEL AND NO TRACK LISTINGS BUT YOU CAN SEE FROM ONE OF MY PICTURES, THAT I HAD WRITTEN WHAT THE RECORD WAS ON ONE OF THE SIDES.   THE WRITING IS ACTUALLY ON THE B SIDE OF THE WHITE LABEL.   AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WE DID HAVE RATHER A LOT OF WHITE LABELS COMING INTO THE PRESS OFFICE AT THAT TIME SO THAT IS WHY I WROTE ON IT FOR MY OWN INFORMATION.

THERE ARE A SURFACE MARKS ON THIS WHITE LABEL - ONE THAT IS A LITTLE MORE NOTICEABLE ON THE FIRST TRACK OF SIDE 2  BUT THAT SAID THIS RECORD STILL PLAYS FANTASTICALLY AND FOR ITS 38 YEARS STILL SOUNDS AS GOOD AS EVER.  IT HAS NO OTHER SCRATCHES OR DEEP ABRASIONS.

THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (APART FROM MY WRITING ON SIDE B AND A TINY SCRATCH TYPE MARK ON SIDE 1 BUT THERE ARE NO RAGGED EDGES ROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THIS WHITE LABEL WILL COME IN ITS ORIGINAL WHITE PAPER SLEEVE.

TRACK LISTINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS:- 

SIDE ONE:              BAND ON THE RUN

                                JET

                                BLUEBIRD

                                MRS. VANDEBILT
