THE CLASH
~ CAPITOL RADIO EP ~
(1977 CBS RECORDS - RAREST UK 45!)
ON OFFER HERE IS A STUNNING ORIGINAL UK PROMOTIONAL FIRST PRESSING OF THE FANTASTIC PUNK EP “CAPITOL RADIO” BY THE CLASH ON CBS RECORDS.
THIS AMAZING RECORD IS COMPLETE WITH IT’S ORIGINAL “TUBE TRAIN” PICTURE SLEEVE WITH “PICTURE WITHDRAWN” IMAGE ON THE BACK.
The Capital Radio E.P. was a promotional record given away to readers who sent off the coupon printed in NME, together with a red sticker found on the inside of the cover of the first 10,000 copies of The Clash's eponymous album, which had been released that week; a week after their debut single, "White Riot", entered the UK Top 40.
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS CBS CL 1
THE SLEEVE
THIS SINGLE IS HOUSED IN IT’S ORIGINAL BLACK & WHITE PICTURE SLEEVE. THIS SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME WEAR, SOME CREASING AT THE OPENING AND SOME LIGHT DISCOLOURATION. THERE IS A SMALL TEAR AT THE OPENING WHICH HAS BEEN REPAIRED WITH CLEAR TAPE.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE A FEW TINY MARKS. THE TUBE TRAIN INTERVIEW WITH TONY PARSONS SOUNDS A BIT MUFFLED BUT THAT IS THE POINT. “CAPITAL RADIO” IS THE CLASH AT THEIR VERY BEST!!
THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS, WITH BLACK TEXT, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH A FEW STINY SPINDLE MARKS. BOTH LABELS CARRY THE TEXT “PROMOTIONAL COPY NOT FOR RESALE”.
SIDE ONE
- LISTEN
- INTERVIEW WITH TONY PARSONS
SIDE TWO
- INTERVIEW WITH TONY PARSONS
- CAPITAL RADIO
