A RARE Factory Sample sent to the music reviewer of a major UK local newspaper.

The lack of spindle marks how little this record has been played.

The flimsy sleeve has some wear as seen in the photographs.

Over 53 years old now this record sold in tiny amounts and was deleted almost immediately.

Almost impossible to find in this barely played condition.
