Hawkwind: Hurry on Sundown
RPS metal Acetate

Original Studio Sleeve & Hand-Written Label




Description
This auction is for a two-sided Rhone-Poulenc Systemes 7" Metal acetate of Hurry on Sundown as recorded by Hawkwind Zoo, as Hawkwind were then known. The B-Side is the Flicknife LIVE version of Kings of Speed. These tracks were released by Flicknife in about 1981, please refer to the extract below from a Trevor Hughes Zephyr newsletter for more details. Trevor was very instrumental in getting this early recording onto a 12 inch single release. The metal plate onto which the acetate is bonded weighs somewhere in the region of 30g, making this nearly twice the weight of a typical Flicknife single. Acetates are the rarest form of record, and have the highest sound quality when new. If you are unfamiliar with them, I would recommend doing a keyword search to validate my claims. This superb disc is very much a Frenchy Special!

The condition of the record surfaces is excellent, retaining most of the original shine. There are no scratches, and only the lightest amount of sleeve wear. The absence of wear around the spindle holes attests to the fact that it has hardly been played. I have only played it once, when I first bought it, somewhere around the beginning of the eighties. The sleeve in in very good condition, with the seams lightly worn but unsplit. I will ship the disc out of the sleeve, in order to prevent it splitting the seams.







Shipping

(UK only) Recorded Delivery First Class:   FREE

Outside UK:   Sorry, overseas postage is too expensive. Therefore, UK bidders only please!

Please Note:   The acetate will be shipped securely with appropriate protective packaging. The disc will be outside of the sleeve in order to protect the latter from being split at the seams. I aim to ship within two working days of receiving cleared payment. Please pay within five days of the auction closing. Thank you!

And thank you for your interest, and for scrolling down this far!
