THE KIRKBYS
IT'S A CRIME
DEMO/TEST PRESSING
Unusual issue which I presume is a factory first test pressing
Green/white RCA Victor labels with "Made In England " text and typewriter typed song and band title. The B side label is off centre as you can see but it doesn't encroach onto the music grooves.
The vinyl is a lot thinner than normal standard pressings and also the start run in grooves are longer than normal, so much so that it won't fit into a normal sized record sleeve. The edge of the record is very thin and shows that it hasn't been trimmed like a normal issue. This one is more like straight from the pressing machine.
It carries the normal issue numbers in the run off grooves, stamped T2PW-9252-IT and T2PW-9253-IT , also 1 B on both sides
THE VINYL IS GRADED A Very Good+, rich glossy surface and only faint scuffs and light marks in places. Nothing bad or deep ,lovely example in fact as I prefer to be on the cautious side.
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc. FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
