Description
THE CLASH...COMPLETE CONTROL RARE FIRST PRESS SPANISH COPY 7" BLACK VINYL SINGLE ON CBS RECORDS CAT. NO. CBS 5664 FROM 1978.
RARE FIRST PRESS SPANISH COPY OF THIS SINGLE. THE FIRST PRESS INDICATED MAINLY BY THE BOXED 'S.G.A.E.' ON THE LABELS, THE CBS LOGO ON THE SLEEVE FRONT LEFT HAND CORNER AND THE WRITING ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE ON THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE. SUPERB PICTURE SLEEVE WITH BAND PHOTO TOTALLY UNLIKE THE ENGLISH VERSION.
THE VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION. IT IS CLOSER TO EXCELLENT IN APPEARANCE AS IT STILL HAS A GOOD SHINE TO IT. THE VINYL HAS A FEW SMALL LIGHT MARKS AND SOME SMALL HAIRLINE MARKS WHICH CAN BE SEEN UNDER STRONG LIGHT. HOWEVER PLAYING IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT ON BOTH SIDES AND STILL SOUNDS GREAT AFTER 42 YEARS, WITH A TINY AMOUNT OF BACKGROUND NOISE IN THE WAY OF CRACKLE AT THE START ON BOTH SIDES. I DID ALSO NOTICE A VERY LIGHT BUT AUDIBLE TICK JUST ONCE NEAR THE BEGINNING ON EACH SIDE. THE LABELS ARE BOTH GENERALLY EXCELLENT WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AROUND THE LARGE HOLE ON EACH SIDE. WHAT LETS IT DOWN SLIGHTLY IS A LIGHT STAIN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LABEL. IT CAN BE SEEN IN THE TOP LEFT ON SIDE A AND COVERS THE 'CB' IN CBS. IT IS SIMILAR ON SIDE B BUT ON THE 'BS'. THIS WAS THERE WHEN I BOUGHT IT.
THE PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT GENERAL WEAR TO THE SIDES AND CORNERS. A COUPLE OF SMALL CREASES FRONT AND BACK. THERE IS SOME LIGHT RINGWEAR WHICH CAN BE SEEN WHEN TILTED TO THE LIGHT ON THE FRONT BUT IS MORE PROMINENT ON THE BACK. THE BACK. BEING WHITE, IS SLIGHTLY DISCOLOURED AND HAS GENERIC RUBBING MARKS. THE DISCOLOURATION AND RUBBING ARE IN FACT MORE NOTICEABLE THAN IN THE PHOTOS. I HAVE TRIED TO PHOTOGRAPH IT AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, BUT IT DOES LOOK WHITE AND CLEANER IN THE PHOTO. IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE GENERALLY, BUT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE DESCRIPTION OF BACK OF THE SLEEVE. NO WRITING, NO TEARS, NO SEAM SPLITS.
42 YEARS OLD AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.
