I have acquired a large quantity of vinyl records from a collection amassed over the last 60 years, some of which are demonstration and factory sample discs. So please have a look at the other items currently listed. 
===================================================================================== LADY MADONNA++++*DEMONSTRATION DISC*++++1G/1G STAMPERS =====================================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do have a rare 'Factory Sample' copy of this single listed as well, which also has 1G stamper codes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of these Lady Madonna demonstration copies were sourced from discs with random stamper codes, so this particular example with its earliest possible, 1G/1G codes, is even harder to find on an original A frame, Lady Madonna, U.K. demo single.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both sides play without any sound issues or interference, and produce top quality audio throughout. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
This copy has been played and does show signs of frequent handling. The vinyl surfaces have lines and a few marks on them but these are fairly light and do not affect the sound. There are NO pops or clicks. Listening to the disc, you would assume that the vinyl was near perfect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Face-on, the labels appear perfect but there is some 'spotting' evident when tilted towards daylight, possibly caused by storage, at some time, in a damp environment. There is also a very slight edge warp, only evident when the disc is rotating, which has absolutely NO affect on the playing or sound quality. This might be rectified by placing something heavy on the disc overnight but it really is so minimal. Old singles are very thin and more prone to warping and dishing, especially after nearly sixty years.   
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
As a demonstrator, this comes in a plain white, protective cardboard sleeve with paper inner.

A SIDE:   -3 (1-G)
