Description
SAMSON...VICE VERSA 7" BLACK VINYL DEMO SINGLE ON EMI RECORDS CAT. NO. EMI 5061 FROM 1980.
THIS IS THE RARE EMI DEMO COPY OF THIS SINGLE. AS SAMSON WERE SET TO SIGN WITH EMI THEY RECORDED AND PRESSED 1000 COPIES OF THIS SINGLE BEFORE THE BAND CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND SIGNED TO GEM RECORDS. THE EMI DEMO COPIES WERE WITHDRAWN AND UNRELEASED.
THE VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION IN APPEARANCE. IT HAS A SMALL HANDFUL OF LIGHT MARKS WHICH LOOK LIKE POSSIBLE PRESSING MARKS. ALSO A COUPLE OF VERY FINE HAIRLINE MARKS. PLAYING HOWEVER IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT ON BOTH SIDES AND STILL SOUNDS GREAT AND LOUD. I CANNOT HEAR ANY BACKGROUND NOISE THROUGHOUT, JUST THE TINIEST BIT OF CRACKLE ON THE RUN IN GROOVE WHICH DISAPPEARS BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTS. THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND FREE OF MARKS (SEE PHOTOS). I CAN'T SEE ANY SPINDLE MARKS EITHER. ONLY PLAYED A COUPLE OF TIMES IN MY POSSESSION.
THE PAPER PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR COMMENSURATE WITH AGE. LIGHT WEAR TO THE CORNERS AND EDGES, SOME VERY LIGHT RINGWEAR AND LIGHT CREASING TO CORNERS AND OPENING. THIS IS ALL VERY MINOR AND NOTHING TOO DETRIMENTAL. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS. NO MARKS, NO WRITING, NO TEARS, NO SEAM SPLITS. IT'S GREAT TO SEE IT HAS SURVIVED SO WELL OVER 40 YEARS DUE TO THE FRAGILE NATURE OF IT. I BOUGHT IT SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND IT WAS LIKE THIS.
BOTH VINYL AND SLEEVE HAD BEEN STORED SEPARATELY SINCE I BOUGHT THEM AND STORED IN POLY SLEEVES.
TRACKS AS FOLLOWS:
SIDE A. VICE VERSA
SIDE B. HAMMERHEAD
