Description

WINGS "COOK OF THE HOUSE/SALLY G"

RARE APPLE LABEL DJ PROMO COPY

VERY RARE AND ORIGINAL 1976 IRISH APPLE RELEASE.....RELEASED IN ERROR ON THE APPLE LABEL AND MISLABELLED.

RELEASED APRIL 30TH 1976, WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN "SALLY G/COOK OF THE HOUSE" WAS TO BE WINGS 1ST UK NUMBER 1 HIT. THE CORRECT ISSUE OF THIS SINGLE HAD A SIMILAR "WINGS AT THE SPEED OF SOUND" LABEL AS FOUND ON THE ALBUM, HOWEVER FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON THE IRISH RELEASE OF THIS SINGLE WAS ISSUED ON THE APPLE LABEL BUT WAS MISLABELLED WITH "COOK OF THE HOUSE" AS THE A SIDE AND "SALLY G" AS THE B SIDE.

YOU WILL NEVER FIND THIS RELEASE LISTED UNDER ANY APPLE RELEASES AS IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN RELEASED ON THE APPLE LABEL

APPLE R6014

7YCE.21786/5-1-2

THE PUSH-OUT CENTRE APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. AS WITH THE CORRECT VERSION OF THIS RELEASE THE LABELS CARRY "WINGS AT THE SPEED OF SOUND" TEXT, THEY ALSO CARRY "Mfd in Rep of Ire". AS THIS IS A RARE RADIO STATION DJ COPY THE LABELS HAVE ALSO BEEN STAMPED "PROPERTY OF SUNSHINE RADIO" (SUNSHINE RADIO WAS A RADIO STATION IN IRELAND) AND FOR THE DJ'S BENEFIT HAVE BEEN CORRECTLY MARKED WHICH WAS THE "A" AND WHICH WAS THE "B" SIDE. THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN AND REATIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

THE GLOSSY VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB WITH JUST VERY LIGHT SUPERFICIAL SURFACE MARKS, GIVEN THAT THIS IS A RADIO PROMO COPY IT HASNT BEEN PLAYED THAT MUCH.

AUDIO IS SUPERB WITH NO DISTORTION.

THIS REALLY IS A VERY VERY RARE WRONG APPLE RELEASE (IT ACTUALLY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN RELEASED ON THE APPLE LABEL) WHICH IS ALSO MISLABELLED AND IS A RADIO STATION PROMO COPY.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS RARE AND UNIQUE VERSION OFFERED FOR SALE BEFORE AND IS THEREFORE A TRUE MUST HAVE FOR ANY APPLE OR BEATLES COMPLETIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHOULD YOU HAVE A RECORD LIKE THIS TO SELL THEN PLEASE DONT "STEAL" THIS WRITE-UP. WHILST WE DONT OBJECT TO ANYONE USING OUR WRITE-UPS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES WE HAVE FINALLY LOST PATIENCE WITH PEOPLE "STEALING" THEM WORD FOR WORD AND USING THEM FOR THEIR BENEFIT... THIS IS AGAINST EBAY POLICY AND SHOULS WE BE MADE AWARE THAT ANY PART OF THIS TEXT HAS BEEN "STOLEN" WE WILL WITH OUT HESTIATION REPORT THIS TO EBAY"....thank you
