Description

ISLAND RECORDS TEST PRESSING of

ELVIS COSTELLO

MY AIM IS TRUE

STIFF RECORDS SEEZ 3

TEST PRESSING OF THE FIRST ELVIS LP RELEASED IN 1977

THIS SAMPLE COPY WAS GIVEN TO ME BY THE LONDON ISLAND RECORDS REP IN SUMMER 1977. IT CAME WITH A YELLOW BACK LAMINATED SLEEVE WHICH IS PART OF THE AUCTION.

THE SLEEVE IS BATTERED, GLUE HAS GIVEN UP BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM, THOUGH IT WAS NEVER QUITE PUT TOGETHER PROPERLY.THERE ARE STICKY GLUE/DIRT MARKS ON THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE WHICH WOULD COME OFF USING LIGHTER FLUID, THOUGH I'VE NEVER BOTHERED.

THE DISC IS SLIGHTLY WARPED. WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED IT I WAS USING A PIONEER PL12D TURNTABLE AND THE RECORD JUMPED ON THE FIRST TRACK, SO I NEVER PERSEVERED.

I'VE TRIED TO SHOW THE WARPING ON PICTURE 3 ABOVE.

THIS MORNING I PLAYED IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH ON MY CURRENT DECK, A PIONEER PL990 AND IT WAS FINE.

THE DISC IS VERY QUIET, IE NO HISS OR CRACKLES, COULD BE BECAUSE IT'S NEVER BEEN PLAYED BEFORE.

I HAVE A FEW MORE SCANS AND PICS WHICH I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND, JUST ASK.

I'VE BEEN AWARE I COULD SELL THE RECORD SINCE I FIRST HAD IT, BUT ONLY PLAYED IT TODAY AND I'M HAPPY THAT IT PLAYS OK.

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK
