Description
GENE LATTER (AND THE DETOURS)
MY LIFE AIN'T EASY
SUPER-RARE ONE-SIDED DECCA UK TEST PRESS (FOR SPARK) 7" IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THIS COMES FROM A DECCA DEMO COLLECTION THAT WE'VE JUST OBTAINED. STAMPED MATRIX SP-131-1CTHIS IS PART OF A SMALL BUT INCREDIBLE COLLECTION OF DECCA SINGLES THAT WE HAVE JUST UNEARTHED ON THE SOUTH COAST. THEY BELONGED TO THE ESTATE OF A LADY WHO WAS A SECRETARY AT DECCA FOR ONE YEAR - 1968. DURING THAT YEAR, SHE TOOK HOME, AS A PERK OF THE JOB, BUNCHES OF RECORDS THAT INCLUDED SOME DEMOS AND TEST PRESSES. WE HAVE SEVEN TEST PRESSES TO LIST (ONE ALREADY SOLD), INCLUDING SOME FOR SPARK (SPARK SINGLES WERE INTIALLY PRESSED BY DECCA; MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTION OF SINGLES FROM 1970 ONWARDS WERE BY PYE).
VINYL
LOVELY EX+, HASN'T SEEN MUCH PLAY, WITH AN EXCELLENT AUDIO. VINYL LOOKS LOVELY WITH JUST SOME VERY FEINT STORAGE FROM THE PAPER SLEEVE. REALLY NICE COPY OF AN IMPOSSIBLY RARE DECCA TEST PRESS.
PLAY GRADED ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES. PLEASE SEE OUR 'GRADINGS EXPLAINED' SHOP PAGE FOR MORE INFO.SLEEVE
PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE VG. SHIPS IN NEW WHITE PAPER SLEEVE.
LABELS
NICE CLEAN EX TEST PRESS LABEL WITH '1968' HAND WRITTEN IN PENCIL.
