Part of an extensive collection of high quality lightly or UNPLAYED demonstration copies, test presses and rarities. Many copies may never have been seen before and most likely will never be seen again!
All listings will run to the end, no offers please, postage cost will reflect the value of the item but will be as low as I can make it and will include insurance.
All singles and albums will be cleaned on the latest Okki Nokki machine.
Superb NEAR MINT copy of this rare factory sample single. (I never use MINT as a grade unless an item is sealed or new - this is as close to it though!) Has the "sold in the UK" text, APPLE 13 A1 / B1 matrix numbers and both sides mothers / stampers are 1 G (1st). Comes in original card picture sleeve.
These are very rare copies I would imagine very few exist especially in this Stunning condition. Has been in storage for over 40 years!!
GRADING
VINYL - NM - Completely unmarked bar one light mark on the B side, stunning "like new" sheen. Probably played a handful of times if that.
LABELS - NM - Clean labels are virtually unmarked, no signs of excessive use
AUDIO - NM - no clicks or any other issues - stunning ultimate first pressed ever audio
SLEEVE- EX - Very little wear at all
A note on Postage
All costs are based on expected value for postal insurance cover - if the item sells for less than expected then postage will be adjusted accordingly either by new invoice or refund after payment.
POSTAGE WILL ALWAYS BE CHARGED AT MINIMUM POSSIBLE BUT WILL ALWAYS BE HIGH ENOUGH TO COVER THE FULL VALUE OF THE ITEM. WHERE SIGNED FOR IS STATED THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL AND IS FOR SECURITY PURPOSES.
Please contact post sale if there any issues.
Thanks
