A RARE FIRST PRESSING ON THE BLACK / GOLD PARLOPHONE LABEL. YOU SEE THEM SOMETIMES WITH ONE SIDE THAT HAS A GROOVED / RIDGED LABEL SIMILAR TO DECCA PRESSINGS, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE. IT HAS ISSUES WITH ONE LABEL AND THE REAR PANEL OF SLEEVE BUT THE RECORD ITSELF PLAYS VERY NICELY INDEED.

BOTH SIDES PLAY VERY WELL WITH ONLY MINOR CRACKLE AND SOFT TICKS NOTICED IN QUIETER PARTS. GRADED VG LABELS; SIDE 2 FEATURES THE DISTINCTIVE GROOVE AROUND THE OUTSIDE EDGE AROUND 10MM FROM THE EDGE OF THE LABEL. THIS ONE "PETERS" OUT ON THE TOP SIDE OF THE CIRCLE TO ALMOST NOTHING.
