Description
PLEASE SEE LAST PHOTO FOR STATS FOR THE STANDARD DEMO VERSION OF THIS EP. NOT HAND WRITTEN ON WHITE BACKGROUND. POSSIBLY A TEST PRESSING?
Factory-stamped matrices and stamper codes on both sides indicate authentic Decca manufacture and an apparent early pressing configuration.
Warped but fully play tested with no skips.”THE FLIES – HOUSE OF LOVE / IT HAD TO BE YOU
RARE EARLY DECCA DEMO / REFERENCE PRESSING
7" 45RPM SINGLE – F 12594
Extremely rare and unusual Decca demonstration/reference style pressing of the classic 1967 UK freakbeat/mod title by The Flies.
This is NOT a standard stock copy and differs from regular commercial issues due to the handwritten labels and factory matrix/stamper markings.
Label details:
- Decca Demonstration Sample Not For Sale labels
- Handwritten artist/title details
- Handwritten catalogue reference: F12594
Matrix / Runout:
- DR-39962-T1-1C
- DR-39961-T1-1C
Additional factory stamper/mother markings present including stamped “I” and “B” positions in deadwax.
This appears to be an authentic early Decca factory-produced demo/reference pressing.
VINYL CONDITION:
Visually the record shows age, handling marks and a noticeable warp.
IMPORTANT:
Despite the warp, I have fully play tested and recorded both sides through the warped section and it plays through without skipping or sticking on my setup.
Playback is far better than the visual appearance would suggest.
Please study all photos carefully as they form part of the description and condition report.
A genuinely obscure and highly collectible UK freakbeat/mod item which rarely appears in this form.
Ideal for:
- Freakbeat collectors
- Garage/mod collectors
- Decca collectors
- Rare UK 60s vinyl collectors
Will be packed extremely securely for shipping.
