CLIFF RICHARD AND SHADOWS"ALADDIN"1 SIDED TEST PRESSING

	£		50
	$		66

ATTENTION CLIFF RICHARD AND THE SHADOWS COLLECTORS!
HERE IS ONE OF THE HARDEST TO FIND ITEMS EVER TO BE SEEN ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE!

50% OF THE LONDON STAGE SHOW ALBUM:

 "ALADDIN AND HIS WONDERFUL LAMP"

A 1964 SINGLE SIDED STEREO TEST PRESSING MADE BEFORE THE MAIN FACTORY PRODUCTION BEGAN TO ENSURE THERE WERE NO FAULTS SUCH AS GROOVE JUMPING OR MASTERING ISSUES.

OF COURSE SOMETIMES A FEW MORE COPIES WERE MADE FOR BAND MEMBERS,SELECTIVE MANAGEMENT,VERY IMPORTANT REVIEWERS AND DJs BUT KNOWING THE WAY EMI TENDED TO OPERATE,THOSE OUTSIDE THE EMI BUILDINGS WOULD TEND TO HAVE"FINISHED"VERSIONS WITH JUST"FACTORY SAMPLE"STICKERS ON THE LABELS AND/OR COVERS MAKING THESE VERY EARLY TEST DISCS ELUSIVE TO COLLECTORS,OVER 45 YEARS LATER!!

HOW MANY COPIES MADE LIKE THIS COULD BE AS FEW AS A DOZEN AND MOST WERE DESTROYED ONCE PRODUCTION BEGAN OR KEPT BY THE BAND MEMBERS-PROBABLY DAMAGED!

THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED!

AMAZINGLY CLEAN SURFACES!

THE"A"SIDE LABEL HAS A DATE ,INITIALS AND "OK"IN PEN-NO DOUBT THE ENGINEERS.

THE REVERSE SIDE HAS A CONTINUOUS LINE UP TONE WHICH COMPARED TO MUCH OF TODAY'S MUSIC IS REFRESHING AND INSPIRING!

IT EVEN HAS THE OUTER CARDBOARD COVER WITH THE MATRIX NUMBER IN PEN YAX 1178-3 AND A RUBBER STAMPED 27 NOV 1964.

THERE IS ALSO A "SEALED BY QUALITY CONTROL"STICKER-THE SEAL BROKEN NATURALLY BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER!

MOST TEST PRESSINGS I HAVE FOUND OVER THE YEARS HAVE BEEN OF LESS EXCITING MATERIAL!

POP TEST PRESSINGS TENDED TO BE MONO-DON'T FORGET SOME OF CLIFF'S ALBUMS BEFORE AND AFTER THIS ONE WERE MONO ONLY!!!

THIS HAS TO BE A REAL JEWEL IN THE CROWN FOR ANY CLIFF RICHARD/SHADOWS COLLECTOR!.

FOR ONCE,IT REALLY IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND UNTIL NOW-SO DON'T MISS OUT!!

ANY OTHER SURVIVING COPIES WILL BE IN THE COLLECTIONS OF CLIFF FANS WHO WILL NOT SELL!

THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE SEEN LIKE THIS!

HARDLY ANY COPIES SURVIVE AS OUTSTANDING AS THIS ONE-EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY FAINT SURFACE MARKS-BARELY BEEN PLAYED!  

 HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITIONS!  IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOUR CLIFF RICHARD OR SHADOWS COLLECTION-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

INCLUDES THE VERY RARE NON HIT SINGLE"THIS WAS MY SPECIAL DAY".

NATURALLY THERE ARE MANY CLIFF RICHARD AND THE SHADOWS ITEMS AROUND THE WORLD AND MOST COLLECTORS LIKE TO HAVE A GENUINE RARE ITEM TO ADD TO A COLLECTION.

THIS LP HAS HARDLY BEEN USED WITH GLEAMING SURFACES AND PLAYS SUPERBLY WITH NO STICKS,JUMPS OR CLICKS.YOU MAY STRUGGLE TO FIND ANOTHER COPY AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE ELSEWHERE AS A TEST DISC!  

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD EXPERTS/DEALERS.

FROM MY OWN COLLECTION WHICH IS HAVING TO BE PRUNED DOWN AGAIN AND FROM A FORMER EMI EMPLOYEE OF THE 1960s!

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!
