U2 - THREE 12" (ORIGINAL IRISH PRESSING - CBS 12-7951)

U2 - THREE 12" (ORIGINAL IRISH PRESSING - CBS 12-7951). A must have addition to any serious U2 collection with this original Irish pressing of their debut 1979 single. This is one of the first 1000 copies pressed by CBS (CBS 12-7951) with the band members names inscribed on both sides of the vinyl in the dead wax and Ireland spelt correctly on the label and "Made in England" at the 6 o clock position. The record is in clean Ex condition showing only a couple of rather light and minor surface marks to the playing surfaces which do not extend any deeper than this. Please note that there is a visual only 'pressing fault' on the A side: When the record plays, the player arm moves right and left noticeably (as if it was stamped off-centre) - as mentioned this is only aesthetic and we could not tell the difference upon playback. Matrix/runout: CBS 7959-12-A CBS U2.3. A-1 (etched drawing of a person) BONO ADAM THE EDGE LARRY BANG! & CBS. U2.3 B-1 BANG BONO ADAM THE EDGE LARRY. This copy is housed with an original company CBS 12" sleeve though does not have the original numbered sticker.

Sold for £1,400
