Description
Two years ago, I had the good fortune to buy the complete music collection of one of the two directors of the Australian label, Regular Records, including a huge storage space containing the entire Regular Records Archives. I sold a few odd items about a year ago, and the (huge!) balance has remained untouched...until now. It's time to get amongst it all and pull out some nice items...so here goes.
The Archives was loaded with master tapes, video masters, contracts, complete files on each artist...as well as mint copies of virtually EVERY vinyl, CD, and cassette release...PLUS...vinyl TEST PRESSINGS of every release...and this...is one of those test pressings.
ARTIST: The RIPTIDES -
TITLE: "THE RIPTIDES" .
FORMAT: …vinyl LP TEST PRESSING…
LABEL: (REGULAR) .
CAT. #: RRLP-1207 .
DATE: 1983 .
PRESSED IN: AUSTRALIA .
...Brilliant punk-y power-pop!...includes the singles "Tomorrow's Tears", "Only Time", and "Hearts And Flowers" plus 8 other tracks...
Comes in its original plain white die-cut paper sleeve...Has W.E.A Test Pressing labels with the catalogue number and pressing date (18 May 1983) handwritten on Side One, and nothing written on Side Two label. (The album was eventually released in July '83.)
This is the test pressing of the first release of this LP (at this time Regular was distributed by WEA, but soon after they moved to Festival Distribution and the album was repressed with a new Festival 'L-' prefix catalogue number).
There probably exists a couple more of this T.P. elsewhere (with band members perhaps?) as there were 6 copies of it pressed, and I found 3 of them in the Archives.
CONDITION:
COVER / RECORD: ( - / MINT) ...as pristine and clean and perfectly shiny as the day it was pressed...the way you wish ALL your records were...
LABELS: ( Side One: MINT / Side Two: MINT )...
If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).
==============================Thanks for considering this item...Cheers, Jules.
