ULTRA RARE PARLOPHONE E.P TEST PRESSING

THE TEST PRESSING IS FOR THE TWO A-SIDE TRACKS FROM THE E.P.. "FROM ME TO YOU" & THANK YOU GIRL".
TEST PRESSINGS ARE PROOFS FOR THE ACTUAL VINYL PRESSING, BEFORE THE PRESSING PLANT WOULD GO AHEAD AND PRESS THE MAIN VINYL RECORD A HANDFUL OF "TEST PRESSINGS" WOULD BE PRODUCED FOR APPROVAL, THESE ARE IN EFFECT REPLICAS OF THE ACTUAL VINYL RECORD WHICH IS TO BE PRODUCED BUT CARRIED HANDWRITTEN LABELS, IN EFFECT THESE TEST PRESSINGS ARE THE DEMOS FOR THE E.P.
THIS IS A ONE SIDED TEST PRESSING BUT DOES CARRY LABELS TO BOTH SIDES, HOWEVER THE TITLE AND ARTISTE CREDITS TO SIDE TWO LABELS HAVE BEEN LEFT BLANK.
THE WHITE PARLOPHONE LABELS WHICH FEATURE BLACK LETTERING AND HAND WRITTEN TRACK AND ATRIST CREDITS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT REVEALS JUST LIGHT BUT MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT BUT OBVIOUSLY ONLY TO SIDE TWO. SIDE ONE LABEL IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH PREFECT LETTERING AND VIRTUALLY NO SIGNS OF AGE OR HANDLING. SIDE TWO LABEL IS AGAIN VERY CLEAN BUT DOES SHOW SOME LIGHT "RING MARKING" MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY THE DISC SITTING ON A TURNTABLE 9SEE PICTURE), THIS HOWEVER IS NOT SEVERE AND IN NO WAY DTRACTS FROM OVERALL QUALITY.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS EXCELLENT, THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED AND THEREFORE DOES FEATURE SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT NOTHING SEVERE. THE VINYL LIES PERFECTKY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND THERE IS NO DULLING TO THE PLAYING SURFACE.
AUDIO IS FLAWLESS... THERE IS NO DISTORTION PRESENT AT ANY POINT.
HOUSED IN ITS ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE.
OFFERED WITH THIS TEST PRESSING IS AN ORIGINAL COPY OF "THE BEATLES HITS" E.P ON WHICH THESE TWO TRACKS APPEAR. THE E.P COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION THROUGHOUT.
