This auction is for an incredibly rare black vinyl white label factory test pressing / sample copy of The Damned's 1979 single:

“Love Song" c/w "Suicide" & "Noise Noise Noise".

Matrix Details:

Side A: CHIS 112 A-1 ‘GET DOWN’

Side B: CHIS 112 B-1 ‘NEIGHBOUR ANNOYER’

Strangely, the solid centre white label 45 has the raised letters 'K T' on the b-side label, suggesting that the pressing plant, which must have been an EMI facility, still had a stock of mid-1960s 7" vinyl blanks to use for test pressings (The K T tax code was printed on vinyl records produced between 1963 and 1968)

The vinyl's in Near Mint condition, as seen in photos, 

Housed in original white sleeve, as seen in photos.
