ABOUT THIS RECORD

The Stranglers Spectre of Love White Label Test Pressing Ultra Rare 7”

Although only ten copies of this test pressing were made (this one being numbered 4 / 10), it is thought that some may have been destroyed.

I have been conned with fake “white label” test pressings before, where the faker has removed the original label and replaced it with a plain white one - beware of these! At least you can be certain that this item is genuine because it has been pressed on black vinyl, instead of the general release of green. It's not often that a punk-genre fan would crave the black vinyl version of a 7" single ;-)

Having played this record for the first time this evening, it is as close to "as good as new" as you should expect - no scratches, no hissing or crackling of any note.

There is some cheeky writing on the label (not by me of course - the record production department stand accused), suggesting which side you should play first. So I want to touch on that comment ... 

The B-side is a live rendition of the sturdy "Death & Night & Blood". A true stalwart fan favourite. Why would you not play this awesome B-side first? This choice of support track would always guarantee that the single would go down well with the fans. But there really was no need ...

The A-side heralds Baz Warne's "coming out party" - his first single release as the band's front man. And what an amazing performance it was from the whole band - especially the new lead guitar and singer. Spectre of Love is a track I could comfortably enjoy repeated back-to-back many times and a new (current) era for the band begins ...
