Description
ATTENTION TAMLA MOTOWN,DEMO SINGLES COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS!
HERE IS A 1ST UK DEMO PRESSING OF A 1974 SINGLE BY THE CONTOURS:"BABY HIT AND RUN" WHICH WAS NOT A UK HIT BUT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MASSIVE ON THE NORTHERN SOUL SCENE AS A FLOORFILLER! THE"B"SIDE="CAN YOU JERK LIKE ME". EMI PRESSED TAMLA MOTOWN TMG 886 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A-1/B-1 MATRIXES.
NOTE THE RELEASE DATE WORDING,THE DEMO RECORD WORDING ON BOTH LABELS AND THE SILVER "A" ON THE "A" SIDE OF THE LABELS UNLIKE THE STANDARD SHOP STOCK COPIES.THIS IS JUST ONE OF APPROX 500 COPIES MADE IN ADVANCE FOR REVIEWERS AND DJs BEFORE THE STANDARD SHOP STOCK COPIES WERE MADE WITH THE MAJORITY GETTING LOTS OF USE AND DAMAGE-THIS COPY IS EXCEPTIONAL!.
THE RECORD WAS OWNED BY A FORMER RADIO DJ WHO WAS PERSONALLY SENT ADVANCE DEMO RECORDS BUT TENDED TO USE THE RADIO STATIONS COPIES AND INFORMED ME THAT MOST OF HIS COPIES WERE NEVER PLAYED OR IN JUST A FEW CASES PLAYED ONCE OR TWICE AT THE VERY MOST AND IF YOU INCLUDE MY ONE TESTING PLAY MAKES MY SERIOUS AND STRICT NEAR MINT GRADING 100% ACCURATE! EASILY UPGRADER STANDARD! YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER EVER FIND A BETTER COPY THAN THIS EXAMPLE! THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS ON THE "B" SIDE VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT BUT THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE.
PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS TO OBSERVE THE VERY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO WRITING,NO STAINING,NO STICKERS,NO FADING ETC.
HOUSED IN A PLAIN WHITE COVER AS WAS USUALLY THE CASE FOR MOST UK TAMLA MOTOWN RECORDS OF THE 1973-1978 ERA.
JUST HOW MANY COPIES SURVIVE,ESPECIALLY AS OUTSTANDING AS THIS ONE IS DUBIOUS AND IT COULD WELL BE YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO ADD THIS RECORD TO YOUR COLLECTION!
REMEMBER THIS IS VERY STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION!
MOST WOULD GLADLY STATE MINT!
