Description
ULTRA RARE AND OWNED FROM NEW "THE SISTERS OF MERCY" SECOND 7" SINGLE RELEASED APRIL 1982 A: BODY ELECTRIC / AA: ADRENOCHROME IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND THIS PLAYS PERFECTLY
You want a rare single, then here it is!
As stated, I have owned this from new & this was played often in the 1980's!
The Matrix shows that this is the 1982 one & only first pressing ever available!
Details of all this info is at the description end!
Please study all the photos as these are a good part of my overall description!
There are some marks to both sides, totally normal for sleeve movement!
There are a couple of more noticeable marks, BUT THESE DO NOT LOWER PLAYBACK SOUND QUALITY AT ALL!
There is no crackle or hiss throughout!
There are three tiny "tick" sounds on side A, two right at the start & one halfway in! This does not take anything away from the overall playback quality or sound, they are not really that noticeable at all!
I am being ultra & hyper critical, under a strong magnifier it looks like two tiny dirt specs in the record grooves only!
I am also being very honest in my description!
When playing loudly on either my Rega Research Planar 3 / Ortofon Cadenza Blue MC or my Pro-Ject 2Experience / Ortofon 540 MkII MM stylus through a Pioneer SA-9500 MkI, these tiny sounds are nothing to worry about at all, I'm just being very honest in my description!
IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND PLAYS INCREDIBLY WELL ON BOTH SIDES WITH NO CRACKLE OR HISS!
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN PLAYED WITH PREMIUM ORTOFON STYLUS'S FROM NEW!
The sleeve has very minor age related wear! There is a very slight crease above Francis Bacon's "Head VI" image, from where the single is pressed against this area from within, & the bottom front right corner after the word "MERCY"
The sleeve has no tears or major damage anywhere!
This is a very very rare thing these days, especially when so perfect sounding! If you've been looking for this for some time now, then here it is right now!
Due to the rarity & value of this single, it has to be sent with insured post only as it will be very hard to find another anywhere right now!
Please feel free to ask any questions in regard to this! If I remember rightly, the last one for sale in 2017 sold for £195, it had a tired sound caused by overplaying with worn stylus's!
This is being advertised elsewhere so I have the right to end this at anytime!
Very hard to find for sale anywhere in the world!
The following information is from "Discogs" & can be matched to the single for sale here!
