MACCARTNEY / WINGS "LET EM IN"
ULTRA RARE APPLE MISPRESS
RELEASED JULY 1976 "LET EM IN" WAS THE SECOND SINGLE TO BE TAKEN FROM THE "WINGS AT THE SPEED OF SOUND" ALBUM. THE SINGLE WAS A HIT FOR WINGS REACHING A HIGH OF NUMBER 2 IN THE UK CHARTS.
THE SINGLE WAS ISSUED WITH THE SAME PICTURE LABELS AS THE ALBUM (SEE PICTURE) HOWEVER FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON WHEN THE SINGLE WAS ISSUED AND PRESSED IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND AN ERROR WAS MADE AND THE SINGLE WAS PRESSED ON THE APPLE LABEL, NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE LABELS WHERE ALSO REVERSED... THE A-SIDE CARRYING THE WHITE APPLE AND THE B-SIDE CARRYING THE FULL GREEN APPLE.
THE ERROR WAS SPOTTED AND THE SINGLE WAS RECALLED IN IRELAND AND RE-RELEASED WITH THE CORRECT LABELS.
THESE ULTRA RARE COPIES ARE VERY SELDOM SEEN FOR SALE AND THIS COPY DID RECENTLY FEATURE IN UK RECORD COLLECTOR AS ONE OF MCCARTNEY'S RAREST SINGLE RELEASES.
THE SINGLE DOES NOT CARRY ANY STAMPER LETTERS TO RUN OFF GROOVE, LEADING TO THE OPINION THAT IT MAY ALSO BE A CONTRACT PRESSING AND POSSIBLY A DECCA SINCE THE CENTRE DOES HAVE A SLIGHTLY LARGER GAP AND THE TRADEMARK DECCA RIDGE, EITHER WAY THIS IS AN ULTRA RARE MISPRESSING OF THIS SINGLE.

STAMPERS 1 1
THE PUSH-OUT CENTRE REVERSED APPLE LABES TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. WHEN VIEWED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE APPEARS TO BE NO SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT.LABELS ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND FRE FROM WRITING E.T.C.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB WITH NO MORE THAN TWO OR THREE VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE, IF THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED THEN IT HASNT BEEN MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE!!!... THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING E.T.C.
AUDIO IS FLAWLESS, THERE IS NO DISTORTION PRESENT.
HOUSED IN ORIGINAL APPEL SLEEVE WHICH IS ALSO SUPERB.
OVERALL A STUNNING AND HARDLY PLAYED EXAMPLE OF THIS ULTRA RARE AND SELDOM SEEN APPLE MISPRESS WHICH IN TURN COULD ALSO BE A CONTRACT PRESSING.... THESE PRESSINGS VIRTUALLY NEVER SURFACE FOR SALE... THIS IS ONE NOT TO BE MISSED.
FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THE CORRECT LABELS THIS SINGLE SHOULD BE PRESSED ON... THE WINNING BIDDER WILL OF COURSE RECEIVE THE APPLE LABEL VERSION.
