Description

The Revillos - Bitten by a Love Bug 7" vinyl TEST PRESSING

b/w Trigger Happy Jack

EMI UK / Stamped 25 Aug 1983 


EMI5424


Please note this is a single-sided pressing. Each disc contains one playable side and a blank reverse side.


Very rare, this would have been pressed in a set of about 4-5 discs to check the press quality before production. I have listened to it only to verify the track and offer no opinion as to whether it is of an improved sonic quality when compared to a standard pressing.


They appear to have been played little and outside of few very minor marks (not possible to photograph and likely caused from being removed from the sleeve) and a little dust accumulated from the last -almost 40 years- they remain in great condition.  I would rate them as VG+, grading very critically. Supplied with the original, plain paper sleeves as shown in the images.



Please see the images as they are of the actual record for sale.

** Overseas buyers please note that Import duties, taxes & charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility, so please check with your country’s customs office before buying, to determine what additional costs may/may not be included.






* EU buyers please note that from January 1/2021, Britain’s exit from the EU has made international shipping considerably more challenging, made even more so by the lack of clarity in some areas. Delays are occurring and buyers both in the EU and Britain are being surprised by new import duties and fees. Please do your homework before bidding/buying to assess whether you should expect these as per the point below.
