On offer here, is a rare demo copy of this single which peaked at #30 in the UK chart
*
Please read the following information carefully to decide whether or not you wish to bid
I have only listed the disc because of it's rarity to a collector
*
The Vinyl
Visually: At first glance it looks near perfect but on closer inspection there appears to be a fault with the vinyl itself. One half of each side is super glossy but the other half is dull. This is repeated when you turn the disc over. The glossy halves are back to back, as are the dull halves, suggesting an error with the mixture. You can see this in the photos above, even the G's each side show one gloss dead wax, the other being dull, highlighted where I have rotated the disc to show the difference in the surface reflections
Audio: Both songs produce near mint audio throughout but the dull sections both contain a disappointing shushing noise as the needle passes each rotation. This is very evident at the beginning and end of the songs but because both are quite loud, most of this shushing is drowned out by the tracks. You need to weigh up the opportunity of owning a rare demo, with two great sound songs and clean labels, against the irritation of a major flaw in the performance. I have used professional cleaning fluid but to no avail, so please don't think that the fairies will transform this copy as it travels through the post :-)
