Description
In 1979, an employee at the Columbia Records Pressing Plant in Don Mills, Ontario secretly snuck in a red puck during the initial manufacturing of The Flamin’ Groovies “Jumpin’ in the Night” and made himself potentially the only copy ever manufactured of this red coloured 1st Canadian press. This is the only time it has ever been available for sale in the marketplace. It has been in a private collection for decades, ever since it was first made.
This is NOT a bootleg or unlicensed press. It is a 1/1 copy unlike any other.
The matrix/runout codes and label belong to the original press “QSR 6067 ” issued by Columbia Records and is the exact same 1st Canadian press, but on a vibrant coloured red wax never commercially distributed or mass manufactured in any capacity for this release.
Visually graded, it rests between a a light VG+ and a strong VG+. Play graded, both sides play between VG+ to EX+! Fantastic playability on both sides all the way through!! I would say it comfortably plays around an 8 or 9 out of 10 all around depending how conservative you are. It was tested it on a Fluance RT85 turntable with lower-end Sony speakers. If you have a higher end sound system, I can only imagine how much clearer and crisp it would sound.
It DOES NOT include the original jacket or inner sleeve. It was snuck out of the pressing plant in a generic white jacket and has been stored safely for decades. A replacement cover could easily be matched to this press, but this record could never be found elsewhere.
I purchased this record [as well as all the other one-of-a-kind red records I have up for auction currently] from the family of the former Columbia Records Pressing Plant employee. I own a record store in Hamilton, Ontario – just an hour or so away geographically from where the plant used to be.
All of the unique red records are an identical shade of red, they were all pressed at the Columbia Records Pressing Plant in Don Mills, Ontario, and all the others were all issued between 1977-1979, and they all came from the exact same collection.
All records have been professionally cleaned and placed into a brand new anti-static MOFI inner sleeve and a resealable poly outer sleeve.
