2009 WILL BE A YEAR OF MANY FINE RECORDS TO TEMPT YOU FROM ROCKING ERIC SO MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT MY STOCK EACH AND EVERY WEEK!

Here is a 1979 UK DEMO 45 PLAYED ONLY A FEW TIMES ON THE FANTASTIC LOOKING CBS LABEL.

THIS DEMO WAS SENT OUT TO DJs AND REVIEWERS 30 YEARS AGO!.

When did you last find a copy LIKE THIS?

A DEMO version is VERY RARE!

WHITE LABELS UNLIKE THE STANDARD ORANGE AND OF COURSE THE LARGE"A"ON ONE LABEL!

RELEASE DATE PRINTED BY CBS ON THE"A"SIDE LABEL! 

AN EXCITING AND BRILLIANT ITEM!

DEMOS WOULD USUALLY BE THROWN OUT AFTER USE BY THE DJ OR REVIEWER.

This disc is in NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH GLEAMING SURFACES.

PROBABLY PLAYED ONCE OR TWICE AND THEN FILED AWAY!!!!!!!!!! 

MANY 1970s DEMO 45's were played by DJs in nightclubs or on radio station turntables where fast cuing up and handling would cause damage or on OLDER equipment with even OLDER styli, Nasty HEAVY PICKUPS, or on cheapo box type players that ENCOURAGED the use of an AUTOCHANGER which would SCUFF any disc in seconds. ANY DEMO THAT SURVIVES IN NEAR MINT CONDITION IS A JOY TO BEHOLD AND A MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS PUNK/CLASH  COLLECTOR.

THIS IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF A UK DEMO 7"

ONLY A FEW HUNDRED WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE-ONLY A SMALL NUMBER SURVIVE!! 

DON'T MISS OUT!!!!

A GREAT INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE! 

THIS IS A VERY NICE COPY!! 

YOU MAY NEVER GET A CHANCE TO OWN SUCH A FANTASTIC ITEM AGAIN!!!!  

I DO NOT SKIM/WORK IN DUBIOUS FLUIDS OR CHEAT LIKE SOME DEALERS.WONDERFUL SHARP, LABELS- SEE THE PHOTO-YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE QUALITY. 

WOULD LOOK GREAT FRAMED UP!

So now the ACTUAL PLAYING>>>>>>>THIS COPY HAS BEEN LISTENED TO BY MYSELF, A LONG TERM FAN and VERY FUSSY GRADER -LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK FOR PROOF!!!!!

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used-I LISTEN IN THE QUIET COMPUTER/MUSIC ROOM/HOME OFFICE Located in a QUIET CUL-DE-SAC AWAY FROM TRAFFIC NOISE/PHONES/SCREAMING BABIES etc. I LISTEN AT A DECENT VOLUME. I LISTEN AS IF I WOULD BE BUYING FOR MYSELF. I AM NOT ONE OF THESE"RIP OFF"MERCHANTS WHO SAY EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL AND SUPER RARE- I TELL IT LIKE IT IS .

This was played ONLY A FEW TIMES and there are NO LOUD CLICKS OR BUMPS INFACT I HARDLY HEARD ANY SURFACE NOISE AT ALL.Just the ACTUAL FACT THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED  LOWERS THE GRADE TO NEAR MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO WORRY ABOUT !!!!!!!! .I report this AS THE TRUTH.

This DEMO disc has been selected from the collection of a FORMER BBC RADIO ONE DJ who was sent this in 1979 and has kept away from light and heat in a series of protective cardboard boxes that house about 50 singles for  30 years!!!!!!!!

I WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY OTHER PERSON TO LOOK AT THIS DISC SINCE 1979!!!!! A SITUATION OF RIGHT PLACE/RIGHT TIME AND THE REAL DEAL-I AM NOT INTERESTED IN CLONED/COPIED/FAKE ITEMS THAT EXIST-THIS IS READY FOR A NEW OWNER!!!!As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!! .
