THE PUSH-OUT CENTRE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN MINT CONDITION. VIEWED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE NO SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT. LABELS ARE CLEAN AND HAVE RETAINED THEIR DEEP BLACK COLOUR WITH VERY VIVID SILVER LETTERING. SIDE ONE CARRIES THE UNIQUE "FACTORY SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE" STICKER.
THE GLOSSY VINYL WHICH SHINES LIKE A MIRROR IS STUNNING. IT HAS JUST A FEW VERY LIGHT BUT SUPERFICIAL SURFACE MARKS, MOST OF WHICH WILL HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE VINYL BEING REMOVED FROM ITS SLEEVE........ THIS LOOKS VERY APPEALING.
HOUSED IN ITS ORIGINAL TYPE "1" PARLOPHONE STRAIGHT CUT SLEEVE, WITH 6'-50' TOKEN ADVERT ON REAR, WHICH IS ALOS ON SUPERB CONDITION.
OVERALL A TRULY STUNNING OF THIS VERY RARE FACTORY SAMPLE VERSION OF A UK 3RD PRESSING.... NOW CONSIDERED RARER THAN THE SECOND PRESSING OF THIS SINGLE AND AS REFLECTED BY THE VALUE IN CURRENT RECORD GUIDES.
