David Bowie - Modern Love / 7" vinyl TEST PRESSING
EMI UK / 1983
EA158 A
Please note this is a single-sided pressing, with a song on one side of the disc and a blank reverse side. The B side record is not included.
Very rare, this would have been pressed in a set of about 4-5 discs to check the press quality before production. I have listened to it only to verify the track and while it sounded great, I offer no opinion as to whether it is of an improved sonic quality when compared to a standard pressing.
It appears to have been played little. There are some micro scratches which are easily seen in one of the images. They are not bad or deep, but look awful in the right light and from the right angle. They are not audible during playback. It remains in otherwise exceptional condition and I would rate it as a Very Good+ copy. Supplied with the original paper sleeve.
Please see the images as they are of the actual record for sale.
I am helping clear a significant collection of pressings from this era, please keep watching.
The Matrix numbers on the runout read:
Side 1: EA158 A-1-1-1-1 / STEVE'S
Reverse side: LPFB (crossed out) / FB 7
** Overseas buyers please note that Import duties, taxes & charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility, so please check with your country’s customs office before buying, to determine what additional costs may/may not be included.
Please don’t request to undervalue the item on the Customs form. This is not possible because the declared value is the maximum claim amount possible in any insurance claim, and your record will not be shipped without proper insurance.
* EU buyers please note that from January 1/2021, Britain’s exit from the EU has made international shipping considerably more challenging, made even more so by the lack of clarity in some areas. Delays are occurring and buyers both in the EU and Britain are being surprised by new import duties and fees. Please do your homework before bidding/buying to assess whether you should expect these as per the point below.
