Description

GET READY FOR THE HISTORY LESSON......AFTER THE SURGE IN SUCCESS OF THE SMITHS AT THE START 1984, ROUGH TRADE RECORDS TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY OF PRESSING MORE COPIES OF THE SMITHS DEBUT SINGLE ''HAND IN GLOVE'' WHICH HAD LONG SOLD OUT IN 1983.  BEFORE THEY DID THIS, THEY PRESSED A TEST PRESSING USING THE ORIGINAL PRESSING PLATES IN APRIL 1984, WHICH IS WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU.  THIS TEST PRESSING GOT REJECTED, I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT THEY HAD TO MANUFACTURE A NEW A-SIDE STAMPER WHILE RE-USING THE ORIGINAL B-SIDE STAMPER FOR THE 1984 PRESSINGS.

HOW DO I KNOW THIS?  I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE THE ONE-SIDED TEST PRESSING OF THE NEW A-SIDE STAMPER WHICH WAS CREATED ONE MONTH LATER - BUT I AM NOT SELLING THAT ONE.

SO.......HERE YOU HAVE A VERY NICE TEST PRESSING OF THE ORIGINAL DEBUT SINGLE, ALBEIT PRESSED IN 1984.

CONDITION IS EXCELLENT
