STAMPERS G 1 G1
ZT TAX CODE TO RUN OFF GROOVE,
NO "MADE IN GT BRITAIN" TEXT.
THE 1ST PRESSING RED PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION TO BOTH SIDES. WHEN CLOSELY INSPECTED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT LABELS HAVE JUST VERY VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT. THE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE STILL QUITE BRIGHT, CLEAN AND FRESH WITH JUST SOME MINOR "RUBBING" TO THE LETTERING...LABLES ARE FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING.....SIDE ONE CARRIES THE UNIQUE "FACTORY SAMPLE... NOT FOR SALE" STICKER
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS ALSO EXCELLENT, THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED AND THEREFORE DOES DISPLAY SOME SURFACE MARKS AND SOME NEEDLE MARKS, HOWEVER NONE ARE FEELABLE AND NONE ARE SEVERE. THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.
AUDIO IS VERY GOOD...THERE IS SOME CRACKLE TO RUN IN GROOVE BUT THE VINYL THEN PLAYS THROUGH FINE WITH NO FURTHER CRACKLE EVIDENT.
HOUSED IN ITS ORIGINAL AND MULTI-COLOURED "DIAMOND" PARLOPHONE SLEEVE. THE SLEEVE IS COMPLETELY INTACT AND FREE FROM ANY WRITING. IT IS STILL EXTREMLEY CLEAN WITH NO REAL HANDLING MARKS AND ALL THE COLOURS ARE STILL BRIGHT AND FRESH.
OVERALL AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY EARLY 1ST UK PRESSING WHICH HAS THE ADDED APPEAL OF BEING AN ORIGINAL AND VERY RARE AND HUGELY SOUGHT AFTER UK FACTORY SAMPLE.
