Description
MY FAMILY OWNED RECORD SHOPS BACK IN THE DAY AND I AM PRETTY SURE THIS WHITE LABEL COPY WAS GIVEN TO US BY A CBS REP TO PROMOTE THE UPCOMING RELEASE (A LOT OF THAT HAPPENED BACK THEN). I DISCOVERED IT WHEN LISTING THE OTHER CLASH VINYLS I HAVE FOR AUCTION. IT IS DEFINITELY A GENUINE 1ST UK PRE-RELEASE PRESS BECAUSE IT HAS A1 B1 MATRIXES WHICH OTHER FIRST UK PRESSINGS DONT HAVE...THEY ARE A2 & B2 ETC........ SUPER! RARE! GENUINE 1ST UK WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING VINYL LP ON CBS RECORDS GIVEN NEW TO MY FAMILY TO PROMOTE THE LAUNCH OF THE ALBUM WHEN RELEASED 41 YEARS AGO IN 1982 IDENTIFIED BY THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS: WHITE LABELS WITH NO TEXT / 1ST UK PRESS SLEEVE WITH ORIGINAL GENERIC DIE-CUT POLYLINED INNER WITH NOTCHED OPENING AND ANGLED CORNERS AND HANDWRITTEN 'CLASH' TOP LEFT CORNER / 1ST UK PRESS FMLN 2 A1 B1 MATRIXES / ORIGINAL CAT NUMBER AND NO BARCODE / BAND PGOTOGRAPH PRINTED ON PHOTOGRAPHIC STOCK PAPER WITH 'THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY KODAK' PRINTED ON THE REAR. ONLY GENUINE 1ST UK PRE-RELEASE PRESSINGS HAVE ALL THESE CHARACTERISTICS.....
THE VINYL IS BRIGHT AND GLOSSY AND IN NEAR MINT BARELY PLAYED CONDITION WITH NO SCRATCHES BLEMISHES OR SCUFFS. THE VINYL LAYS FLAT WITH NO WARPS-YOU WONT FIND A BETTER COPY!! THE LABELS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ONLY ONE VERY FAINT SPINDLE LINE. THE SLEEVE IS IN AT LEAST EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL INNER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE PHOTO IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO EDGE SPLITS TO EITHER SLEEVE. THE SPINE IS EXCELLENT WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TEXT.
