EMC 3006 YAX 4623 -3U (first press) YAX 4624 -2U (Factory Sample Press ONLY)
This is THE MOST RARE Queen debut album, Many are listed as 'First Press' with the -3U/-3U Matrix numbers, this is the FACTORY SAMPLE which is the only one with -3U on side 1, and -2U on side 2!!! Also, First Press have 'Huggypookissy' in the deadwax on both sides, Factory Sample has 'Huggypookissy' on side 1, and 'Off with his head' on side 2!
Has original 'Factory Sample - NOT FOR RESALE' sticker still on the inner label of side 1. AN INCREDIBLY RARE VINYL!!!
GRADING. Side 1 - Excellent condition, has some light surface marking, nothing that effects playback, very light spindle mark on inner label. Side 2 - VGC, would be as above, only has 1 mark that is clearer than others. Does not effect playback, just looks more prominent.
Has original EMI 'Care of Your Record' inner sleeve.
COVER - this was a thin card cover on early release, matt with no lacquer. therefore would usually be all scuffed up with very bad edges / corners etc... This one is near to excellent. Record impression just shows, two corners outside of record edge have very slight 'surface crease', more from the cover being flexed, which means the crease is just showing on the surface, does not effect cover image. Edges and corners are excellent, a few slight marks, only very small.
Cannot find these on ebay, lots that claim to be 'first press' with -3U/-3U, none that are pre-release factory samples, with -3U/-2U and 'off with his head' in deadwax. This was ONLY on pre release versions as samples!!!
