MARC21


One of 4 EP’s released in the early 1980’s.

Please note this is a single sided pressing, with a single song on one side, and a blank reverse side.


Very rare, this would have been pressed in a set of about 4-5 discs to check the press quality before production. I have listened to it only to verify the track and while it sounded great, I offer no opinion as to whether it is of an improved sonic quality when compared to a standard pressing


It appears to have been played little. There are micro scratches on the B side disc easily seen in the right light (and I have endeavoured to show them as obviously as possible, which of course makes them look horrific.) They look bad but are not deep and only one or two are quietly audible and only on the gap of silence between songs. The A side has a couple of very small, faint scratches, not audible. There is also a little dust accumulated from the last -almost 40 years- and I would consider them to be a VG+ copy. Supplied with original paper sleeve as shown in the images.



Please see the images as they are of the actual record for sale.



The Matrix numbers on the runout read:

Disc 1 (A side): MARC 21 A-1-2-1-1

Reverse side: LPFB


Disc 2 (B side): MARC 21 B 1-1-1-1

Reverse side: LPFB



** Overseas buyers please note that Import duties, taxes & charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility, so please check with your country’s customs office before buying, to determine what additional costs may/may not be included.

Please don’t request to undervalue the item on the Customs form. This is not possible because the declared value is the maximum claim amount possible in any insurance claim, and your record will not be shipped without proper insurance.



* EU buyers please note that from January 1/2021, Britain’s exit from the EU has made international shipping considerably more challenging, made even more so by the lack of clarity in some areas. Delays are occurring and buyers both in the EU and Britain are being surprised by new import duties and fees. Please do your homework before bidding/buying to assess whether you should expect these as per the point below.
