Description
A few months ago I bought the collection of a friend who, for a few years in the mid-1980's, worked at Shigaku Trading, a major indie worldwide distributor in the 1980's/90's, based in London, which had at least one in-house record label (What Goes On), which released many Australian garage/ & psych bands over there. He also worked closely with The Godfathers, Screaming Blue Messiahs, The Seers, and several other class UK indie bands...as well as the whole Swedish mid-80's garage psych scene (Nomads, Pushtwangers, etc.) and associated labels (Amigo, Tracks On Wax, etc.).
His collection included quite a few test pressings, and this is one of those:

=====================================================
CONDITION:
COVER: ( EX )...
RECORD: ( M- )...so close to pristine!...just has a couple of very minor scuffs, merely from movement within the sleeve...plays perfectly mint...
LABELS: (Side One: MINT / Side Two: MINT )...has NO spindle marks on either label...looked unplayed (before I gave it a spin to check the purity of the sound)...
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.
