WITH THE RED AND SILVER PRESSING ONLY BEING AVAILABLE FOR A SHORT TIME THERE ARE JUST THREE VARIATIONS TWO WITH "MADE IN GT BRITAIN" AND ONE WITHOUT THIS BEING THE LATTER
THE VINYL RECORD STILL HAS A GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACES BUT THE 'A' SIDE HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE A LIGHT STAIN AND A CIRCULAR LIGHT SCUFF WITH ODD LIGHT NEEDLE /HANDLING MARKS NONE ARE FEELABLE AND THE TRACK PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY DISTRESS APART FROM THE ODD LIGHT POP ASSOCIATED WITH THESE EARLY PRESSING'S AND WHAT THEY WERE PLAYED ON
THE 'B' SIDE HAS SOME LIGHT NEEDLE MARKS IN ONE CONCENTRATED AREA ACROSS THE TRACK JUST BARELY FEELABLE BUT AGAIN THE TRACK PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY DISTRESS WITH JUST THE ODD LIGHT POP
SOME OF THESE RECORDS DO DEFY LOGIC WHEN PLAYING
BOTH LABELS ARE CLEAN AND LEGIBLE THE CENTREHOLE IS UNWORN AND ANY SPINDLE MARKS SEEM CONFINED TO THE RECORD CENTRES
YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THESE PRESSINGS ARE NOW OVER SIXTY YEARS OLD AND WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED INITIALLY ON THE LIKES OF A DANSETTE AND ITS EQUIVALENT
WE PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI FOR REVIEW SO PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT MORE MODERN EQUIPMENT CAN GIVE A DIFFERENT RESPONSE
RECORD COMES IN AN ORIGINAL COLOURED DIAMOND STYLE COLOURED SLEEVE
VERY RARE PRESSING NOW 63 YEARS OLD AND WAS ALWAYS HARD TO FIND AND NOW EVEN HARDER TO FIND TODAY AS MOST COPIES ARE IN COLLECTIONS
