Description
Title: 1957 Victor Silvester "Transitional Tax" Export (Woolwich Retailer Variant)
Description: An exceptionally rare 1957 Columbia UK export pressing of "Too Close For Comfort" / "Forgotten Dreams." This copy is a documented "tax-code transition" artifact, bearing the rare ET/XT double purchase tax stamps, capturing the exact June 1957 legislative shift.
Crucially, this copy maintains a rare piece of London retail provenance: the original "Why MCA, Artillery Place, S.E.18" adhesive label, linking the record to its point of sale in Woolwich, South-East London, at the time of its release.
Technical Specifications:
Run-out Matrix (Side 1): 7XCA 24107-1N | Etched "R" | Dual ET/XT Tax Codes.
Run-out Matrix (Side 2): 7XCA 24108-1N | Etched "A" | Dual ET/XT Tax Codes.
Format: 1957 Purple Label, Push-out center, NCB export rights markings.
Provenance: Retains original "Why MCA" Woolwich retailer sticker on the label.
This item serves as both a high-fidelity example of 1950s British pressing technology and a historical record of independent mid-century London commerce
