Description
Please note all my listing are in UK pounds (£) // Private Sale // 1 owner since new !
The Mighty 'Headcleaners' Test pressing of 1st pressing of the 'Disinfection' 7 track EP in the Red sleeve.
Individually numbered // Number 5 .. with insert that has Mats Nillson's hand written spell check (as it turned out never corrected i don't think)
A true classic from 1981 / Malign Massacre Records MMS 001
I believe 6 (maybe 10 ?) test pressings were made before the actual 1st press , those in the know will recognise Mats handwriting . . also the white label isn't a perfect sphere , see close ups (of course the the actual pressing had white labels too / perfect sphere)
Shouldn't really sell this but I'm coming to an end on my selling and thought id throw this one in too and I'm gonna keep my later black sleeve version.
Vinyl : VG+ This plays fine and in normal viewing looks great but again under a real bright spot lamp can see quite a few surface and stylus marks (some more visible than others) and a slight wobble. There is a slight tick on the last track ( i think a tick is like a very minor light click ?? but it doesn't jump on my old faithful (the record player I've had for over 40 years and still works :-) see photo ) , there is nothing visible so i presume its in the test pressing.
Sleeve : EX+ No rips / no tears / no seamsplits
No rips or creasing on the insert

** Please note , i try to be pretty generous with my gradings, its difficult sometimes depending where you are and which light you have to view on , night is different to day , different lights show different stylus marks etc. and bright cloudy days looks different to bright direct sunlight. Also I've looked at lots of new and hardly (or never) played old records and they all have marks of some sort in the most brutal of light. Most of my records look new in normal viewing soft / diffused light , you can be assured they all play fine , and if you are not happy you can send them back. Cheers :-)
Has been stored really well since it came out. Will be sent properly packaged in white card mailer with 2 stiffeners placed adjacent to each other :-) and with a Fragile sticker !!
UPDATE : EXTRA // I have a spare Black sleeve version of this EP which i will throw in Free !! SEE PHOTO 12
So this is the Test Pressing with a free Black sleeve pressing too . .
