Paul McCartney single "GOODNIGHT TONIGHT!!!! 1 & G A LABEL Demonstration Not For Sale ORIGINAL from 1978!!!!
Released on the 23rd March 1979!!!! This entered the UK charts on the 7th April 1979 where it reached the Number 5 slot and remained in the charts for a total of 10 weeks!!!!
This was the 22nd official single release by Paul McCartney!!!!
This single was credited to "Wings" and the line up consisted of Paul, Linda, Denny Laine, and New Chaps Lawrence Juber andSteve Holly!!!!
There were Lots of Firsts on this Release!!!!
This single was the FIRST release for the 7th formation of "Wings"!!!!
The FIRST release of a Paul McCartney record to be on Parlophone!!!!
The FIRST UK release for Paul of a 12' single!!!!
Although, all his Official releases had an "R" prefix, and certainly looked like Parlophone catalogue numbers, this was the FIRST record to actually have a Parlophone logo!!!!
The single version of the A-Side is 4 minutes 15 seconds, whereas the 12' is an extended mix running to 7:14!!!! The B-Side was the same on Both formats!!!! The 12' also has a good quality Picture Sleeve with a Specially printed old Parlophone style cardboard Inner Sleeve!!!!
The 7' single includes, "HELLO TOM 1979" on the run-out groove!!!!
The Matrix, Mother and Stampers are:
Side One: 7YCE-21803-1U. On the run out grooves there are the numbers 1 and the letters G. There is also etched HELLO TOM 1979.
Side Two: 7YCE-21804-1U. On the run out grooves there are the numbers 1 and the letters G.
The above Codes prove this to be one of the Very First First Pressings cut of this highly sought after single!!!! Only a Handfull of these Demonstration Not For Sale singles were produced and they were given to "Radio Disc Jockeys", "Record Executives" and EMI Employees to help Promote the sales of each Record!!!! These were NOT FOR SALE and should NOT have got through to the General Public!!!!
CONDITION!!!!
The Picture Labels to Both Sides: are in Excellent Condition with No signs of Wear or Marks!!!! The Vinyl still retains that Gloosy Look and has clearly been Very Well looked after which is reflected in the playback!!!! There are a few "Tiny" marks showing on the Vinyl when held up to a bright light (though most of these have been caused by handling)!!!! Side-2 does have a couple of Spindle marks (but these can Only be noticed under a bright light) The begining of Side-2 also has a background niose that lasts for about 10 seconds, There are no Pops, Clicks or Jumps anywhere!!!! I play graded this on a Linn LP12 Sondek through a Linn System (which is very unforgiving). The Playback was "Superb"!!!! The record lays perfectly Flat with no Warping!!!!
I would give this Record an overall grade of VERY GOOD++/EXCELLENT!!!!
Please be aware that this Record is for the Label Enthusiast as opposed to the Listening Devotee!!!! These A Label Demos do NOT surface Often as once they are in a Collectors possession they as a Rule stay!!!!
This Record comes supplied in it's ORIGINAL Black Sleeve which is also in EXCELLENT condition!!!!
I like to point out ALL or any Defects so the buyer knows EXACTLY what they are getting. They may sound a little off putting but I can ASSURE you they are tiny in comparison to the "RARITY" of this item.
