Description
The Stranglers - Cruel Garden / 7" vinyl TEST PRESSING
- original B side to Strange Little Girl
**Please note the A side (song or record) is *not* present
EMI UK / stamped 24 Jun 1982
BP412 B
Please note this is a single-sided pressing and is of the B side only with a blank reverse side. There is no A side present.
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 while it sounded lovely, I offer no opinion as to whether it is of an improved sonic quality when compared to a standard pressing.
It appears to have been played little and outside from a couple of very minor marks picked up during removal from the sleeve and a little dust accumulated from the last -almost 40 years- it remains in exceptional condition and I would rate it as a Near Mint copy ( or as Near Mint as a 40 year old record in an unsealed paper sleeve can be). Supplied with the original paper sleeve.
Please see the images as they are of the actual record for sale.
I’m helping clear a large collection of pressings from this era, please keep watching.
The Matrix numbers on the runout read:
Side 1: BP412 B-2U-1-1-
Reverse side: LPFB The number ‘111’ is stamped vertically
** 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.
