Description
SUPERB! RARE! GENUINE 1ST UK PRESS TRANSLUCENT RED VINYL 12"EP (SOME COPIES APPEAR TO BE ORDINARY BLACK VINYL BUT WHEN VIEWED IN FRONT OF A BRIGHT LIGHT ARE IN FACT DARK TRANSLUCENT RED). PURCHASED NEW BY ME WHEN RELEASED 44 YEARS AGO IN 1980 (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ANY OTHER PRESSINGS) IDENTIFIED BY THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS; FACTORY LABELS WITH '2/9/80' TEXT / SLEEVE WITH '(UK)' TEXT ON THE REAR BOTTOM EDGE (MISSING FROM REPRESSINGS) / ORIGINAL CAT NUMBER AND NO BAR CODE / 'PORKY PRIME CUT' 1ST UK PRESS MATRIXES WITH 'HERE ARE THE YOUNG MEN' ETC DEADWAX TEXT. ONLY GENUINE 1ST UK PRESSINGS HAVE ALL THESE CHARACTERISTICS....
THE VINYL IS BRIGHT AND GLOSSY AND IN NEAR MINT 'PLAYED ONCE TO TAPE IT' CONDITION WITH NO SCRATCHES BLEMISHES OR SCUFFS. THE VINYL LIES FLAT WITHOUT WARPS-YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER COPY!! THE FACTORY LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY A VERY FAINT 'BARELY THERE' SPINDLE LINE. THE SLEEVE TOGETHER WITH ITS ORIGINAL INNER IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH NO EDGE SPLITS TO EITHER SLEEVE AND WITH SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR AND FAINT FOXING. THE SPINE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS ...NOTHING MUCH TO SHOW FOR ITS 44 YEARS!! THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS FACUS 2 (SLEEVE AND LABELS) WITH 1ST UK PRESS 'PORKY PRIME CUT' MATRIX NUMBERS AND DEADWAX TEXT FACUS 2 A#2 HERE ARE THE YOUNG MEN A PORKY PRIME CUT AND FACUS 2#B2 BUT WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN A PORKY PRIME CUT.
