1968 UK DECCA 4 x TRACK 7" EP TEST PRESSCAN'T FIND THIS AS AN OFFICIAL RELEASE, SO PRESUMING THAT THIS WAS AN UNRELEASED EP?
(IF ANYONE HAS ANY FURTHER INFO, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH!)
THIS IS PART OF A SMALL BUT INCREDIBLE COLLECTION OF DECCA SINGLES THAT WE HAVE JUST UNEARTHED ON THE SOUTH COAST. THEY BELONGED TO THE ESTATE OF A LADY WHO WAS A SECRETARY AT DECCA FOR ONE YEAR - 1968. DURING THAT YEAR, SHE TOOK HOME, AS A PERK OF THE JOB, BUNCHES OF RECORDS THAT INCLUDED SOME DEMOS AND TEST PRESSES. WE HAVE SEVEN TEST PRESSES TO LIST (ONE ALREADY SOLD), INCLUDING SOME FOR SPARK (SPARK SINGLES WERE INTIALLY PRESSED BY DECCA; MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTION OF SINGLES FROM 1970 ONWARDS WERE BY PYE).
VINYL
STRONG VG++ COPY, HASN'T SEEN MUCH PLAY. NICE CLEAN VINYL WITH JUST SOME SMALL STORAGE WEAR. GREAT PLAYBACK WITH JUST SOME SMALL OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND, MOSTLY ONLY NOTICEABLE ON RUN-INS AND OUTS. NICE COPY OF AN IMPOSSIBLY RARE TOM JONES TEST PRESS.
PLAY GRADED ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES. PLEASE SEE OUR 'GRADINGS EXPLAINED' SHOP PAGE FOR MORE INFO.
