100% Original, beautiful stunning example of this 1970 Mercury Records Demo
This is a super rare early UK DEMO 45 for David Bowie’s 1970 second Mercury Records single. Memory Of A Free Festival Part 1 & 2 were written by David Bowie. This is the second of only three singles from David Bowie to be released on the Mercury Record Label.
The vinyl in Excellent Condition with bright and undamaged record labels to both sides. I know how important condition is when grading records, however condition grading and descriptions of such is a very subjective matter. So I will describe this record in as much detail as possible.
Visual Grade:
When held in direct daylight (flat or tilted and rotated in a circular motion into the day light ) to my eye, no marks are visible what so ever.
Play Grade:
There is a tiny amount of surface noise on the run in and run out, synonymous with most 60s and early 70s vinyl records. (i.e. it's not deadly silent like a digital recording). I'm being very critical here. The fidelity of the record is loud strong with clear sharp vocals at all volumes. no skips, pops, jumps or distortion of any kind. (just that little bit of surface noise on the run in and run out).
The stamped matrix numbers read - A side - 6052026 1F#2 420 - B side 6052026 2F#2 420
Label is period date stamped 26 June 1070
The record in it’s correct original red and white swirl Mercury Records company sleeve which has some slight damage/seam split
