CONDITION OF RECORD

AS THIS IS A FIRST TEST PRESSING FROM THE FACTORY THERE ARE SOME SURFACE MARKS AND IT HAS BEEN PLAYED. THERE IS A LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCH ON SIDE ONE BUT THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE PLAYING OR QUALITY OF THE SOUND AT ALL. IT HAS NO OTHER DEEP SCRATCHES OR ABRASIONS.

IT STILL PLAYS AND SOUNDS AS GOOD AS WHEN THE RECORD WAS FIRST RELEASED. THERE IS A ONE SECOND 'CLICK' ON SIDE TWO TRACK TWO, 'SPIRITS OF ANCIENT EGYPT' BUT GENERALLY THIS WHITE LABEL IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION.

CONDITION OF LABELS

THERE ARE A FEW TRACE SPINDLE MARKS BUT YOU CAN ONLY SEE THESE IN BRIGHT LIGHT. THE TITLE 'WINGS' IS STAMPED IN RED ON SIDE TWO OF THE WHITE LABEL. I GENERALLY FOUND THAT WHOEVER IT WAS STAMPING THE WHITE LABELS AT THE FACTORY JUST PUT THE STAMP ON THE LABEL REGARDLESS OF WHICH SIDE.

THIS IS A GENUINE FIRST TEST PRESSING FROM THE FACTORY AT EMI RECORDS. I WORKED IN THE UK POP PRESS OFFICE FOR EMI RECORDS, MANCHESTER SQUARE IN LONDON IN THE 1970'S AND A SMALL NUMBER OF COPIES WERE SENT OUT TO US AND THE LABEL TO TEST THE SOUND QUALITY ETC BEFORE THEY WENT TO PRESS.

IT COMES IN ITS ORIGINAL WHITE PAPER COVER.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS WHITE LABEL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND COMMON SENSE. IF YOU DO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR QUERIES PLEASE DO NOT HESISTATE TO CONTACT ME WHEN I WILL BE ONLY TOO PLEASED TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RECORD WILL BE SENT RECORDED DELIVERY.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE VERY WELCOME TO ASK FOR POSTAGE DETAILS BEFORE BIDDING.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR TAKING TO TIME TO LOOK AT MY LISTINGS.
