Effectively the first ever Flowers (or Icehouse) piece of vinyl - a test pressing of their first single. This came from the Regular Records Archives which I was lucky enough to buy about 15 years ago.

Has a lot of marks, but still plays through...with crackles and pops admittedly.

Plain white labels with basic info in pen and pencil (as per photos here).

CONDITION:   

OK...I use the following gradings (in descending order, from pristine down):

MINT, M-, EX (EX = most people's NM), EX-, VG++, VG+, VG, VG-, G+, G  ...there should be very few of the last 2...if any...(for they would be deemed unworthy). SLEEVE:   ...comes in an original 1980 Festival company sleeve... VINYL:  VG- ......

If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).
