Reviews
- Wonderful press, sounds incredible the only press of this you need
Have a Rough Trade 55 A1 version, but also has more etchings. Both Sides have a "V" etched in the wax. However, side 1 has legible and eligible characters. Best I can read is "RxxxA Tx1DE" where the "x's" are eligible.
Possibly RILIA or RHIA hard to tell. The other I am sure is probably TR1DE. Definitely a number "1" in there.
Anybody seen this before?
I have a UK Rough Trade copy but it only has blank white labels likes its a test copy, ROUGH 55 A1 and ROUGH 55 A2 etched into the vinyl. Anyone seen this before?- This is one of the best sounding first presses I own. I thought $50 was a lot to spend on a NM copy, but it was actually a bargain. If you see this anywhere, buy it!
If anyone knows if a Rough Trade CD version exists, that would be wonderful.
