THE STONE ROSES - SO YOUNG/TELL ME 12" (ORIGINAL UK WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING - THIN LINE THIN 001). An absolutely key addition to the serious Roses collection with this extremely scarce original UK white label test pressing of the seminal debut commercial release So Young/Tell Me. The record is in very fine Ex condition. There are just a couple of very light and minor and wispy paper hairline marks to the playing surfaces, these not at all ever heavier in nature. No damage to the white labels. Matrix/runout: THIN 001 A-1U-1-1-1 TIMTOM & THIN 001 B-1U-1-1-1. Complete with the wicked purple/green Cartel sleeve presented in lovely Ex condition. Housed with a message from a former owner who discussed how this copy was acquired: He gave Ian Brown the controversial 'Co-Op' T-Shirt for a photo shoot (he was working for the Co-Op's political wing at the time whilst his girlfriend working with Squire's girlfriend at Cosgrove Hall), and Squire gave him this copy as a thank you...
