Well it finally arrived today and I'll be damned if it isn't a true first pressing. It has some Goodwill-style scuffs but both sides play through beautifully. I'm pleased.

The runoff information tells me this is from the first stampers immediately after the demos were pressed, thus making it a true first consumer pressing. So I guess now I need to complete my UK first pressing Beatles singles collection. Why not?

Nashville --> Australia --> Norway.

A long search after the poster has ended, and even left me with spare B&B's and buttons. :D

Big thanks to Luke!

Ditto.

Took me five years to find a poster, and have money to buy it simultaniously. But it was fun chasing it down too. Enjoy the chase. :)

It sounds like Luke is some sort of vinyl/poster folk hero. Everywhere I turn someone is thanking Luke. Good on you Luke.

Hands down one of the best Blue Room gig posters. Did Miles do that one? Speaking of, what's he up to these days?
