Description
Paul McCartney single "LONDON TOWN"!!!! 1 & G A LABEL Demonstration Not For Sale ORIGINAL from 1978!!!!
Released on the 26th August 1978!!!! This entered the UK charts on the 9th September 1978 where it reached the Number 60 slot and remained in the charts for a total of 4 weeks!!!!
This was the 21st official single release by Paul McCartney!!!!
This single was credited to "Wings" and the line up consisted of Paul, Linda, Denny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch and Joe English!!!!
Credited to McCartney-Laine, this was written by Paul and Denny in Perth, Australia during the "Wings" World Tour, and recorded back in London!!!! The B-Side (recorded in the Virgin Islands) was done in a SINGLE take and featured Paul playing a "Gizmo" an insrument invented by Godley and Creme (ex 10 CC members)!!!!
The single was a track too far from the Album though, and Failed to make much of an impression in the UK charts!!!!
The single was NOT released in a Picture Sleeve, but had the London Town Labels again, with the Black and White picture on the Front, with the Colour on the B-Side!!!!
This time it's "MASTERED AT ABBEY ROAD" on the B-Side run-out groove, and NICK on the A-Side!!!!
The Matrix, Mother and Stampers are:
Side One: 7YCE-21799-1. On the run out grooves there are the numbers 1 and the letters G. There is also etched NICK.
Side Two: 7YCE-21780-1. On the run out grooves there are the numbers 1 and the letters G. There is also etched MASTERED AT ABBEY ROAD.
The above Codes prove this to be one of the Very First First Pressings cut of this highly sought after single!!!! Only a Handfull of these Demonstration Not For Sale singles were produced and they were given to "Radio Disc Jockeys", "Record Executives" and EMI Employees to help Promote the sales of each Record!!!! These were NOT FOR SALE and should NOT have got through to the General Public!!!!
CONDITION!!!!
The Picture Labels to Both Sides: are in Excellent Condition with No signs of Wear or Marks!!!! The Vinyl still retains that Gloosy Look and has clearly been Very Well looked after which is reflected in the playback!!!! There are a few "Tiny" marks showing on the Vinyl when held up to a bright light (though most of these have been caused by handling)!!!! There is some Very Light background noise but no Pops, Clicks or Jumps anywhere!!!! I play graded this on a Linn LP12 Sondek through a Linn System (which is very unforgiving). The Playback was "Great"!!!! The record lays perfectly Flat with no Warping!!!!
I would give this Record an overall grade of VERY GOOD++/EXCELLENT!!!!
Please be aware that this Record is for the Label Enthusiast as opposed to the Listening Devotee!!!! These A Label Demos do NOT surface Often as once they are in a Collectors possession they as a Rule stay!!!!
This Record comes supplied in a standard White Sleeve!!!!
I like to point out ALL or any Defects so the buyer knows EXACTLY what they are getting. They may sound a little off putting but I can ASSURE you they are tiny in comparison to the "RARITY" of this item.
