Description

For sale is my very rare mono test pressing white label copy of Matchstickable Messages From The Status Quo.


This is a very rare item for the serious Quo collector.


The vinyl is probably a VG, it does have a few visible light surface marks, the sleeve is a VG+


Plays fine both sides, no skips or jumps, a bit crackly in places but it is 55 years old.


Items like this are an historical document in time, no more than 5 or six of these copies would of been pressed like this.

It has the original PYE inner sleeve which is poly lined and has the patents pending wording on the bottom left of the sleeve.


A superbly rare piece of Status Quo history.


Matrix run outs:


NPL18220A-2 *T

NPL18220B-2*T


Any viewing or inspection is welcome.


Obviously due to the value I would prefer collection from B26 area of Birmingham, not far from the NEC and airport.


If it goes overseas I will package it extremely safely and use eBay’s global shipping program, please be aware I have no control over these shipping costs, they are set by eBay.


I can send in the UK using Royal Mail next day special delivery.


Thanks for looking any questions please ask.


I would be open to very serious offers only.


Please see my other Quo rarities that I am selling in other listings.
