Pink Floyd Arnold Layne Rare 7 Inch Demo Disc

I have owned this 7 demo single since new.
The owners of a local record shop didn t like the record, did not intend to stock it and let me have this special version at half-price I think that they must have been a bit old to be Pink Floyd fans Anyway, it s been played a few times since then but for many years it s been languishing in my collection, not seeing the light of day.
So, realising that this item is pretty rare, I thought that it s time to offer it to those who might appreciate it more than me.
I think that it plays pretty well on both sides on our BO Beogram 3300 but it s impossible to say how it would have played back in 1967 for comparison.
I don t think that my Dansette then was particularly fussy.

The sleeve Black label printed on pink paper see photos for description Some wear at the edges but fortunately no splitting The outline of the disc can be seen on the sleeve.
Overall, I would put its condition as Very Good based on the Record Collector s Grading System see .
Of course, it might well benefit from a deep groove clean.
NoteFollowing a question from a potential bidder, I have added photos of the only two surface scratches of any note, one on each side.
Neither seems to affect the playing quality.
