Description
Tim Finn ?– Spiritual Hunger
A one off Dubplate / Acetate from Virgin records Australia Edited start, with a run time of 3 min 54 seconds.The metal acetate is a 12", but is for the 7" version, with the same song on both sides, with a large run in area.
The "B" side has been neatly scratched out by the sound engineers, but I have tested it, and it plays through fine.
Because of the scratch out of the B side, I have tested the B side in it's entirety - with a low weight pick-up of 0.8 grams it plays through fine, with some low level pickups where it has been scratched out with neat wavy lines.
I only tested a few small areas of the A side, just to check the audio, and it plays perfectly... clean audio, sounds fantastic!
The large run-in deadwax on the A side has been written, or etched, by the sound engineers It says
"Tim Finn - "Spiritual Hunger" 5/6/86
Edited Start
