T. REX "Ride A White Swan" b/w "Is It Love" & "Summertime Blues" (Regal Zonophone BUG.1) original 1970 IRISH pressing (blue/silver label) with original Regal Zonophone sleeve.
RARE!!! Have you ever seen this? FLY RECORDS was set-up to release T.REX's first release "Ride A White Swan", with the catalogue number BUG.1 - but for some reason in IRELAND the single was pressed up on the old REGAL ZONOPHONE label but using the new FLY catalogue number! The record appears to have the same stampers as the UK release (matrix stamps: BUG 1 A-1 U and BUG 1 B-2 U - with KT tax codes on both sides).
On the flipside Bolan's name is spelled wrong, crediting "Is It Love" to MARK BOLAN.

A nice addition to any serious Marc Bolan, T. Rex collection
This nifty little 45 rarity from 45 years ago is in excellent condition and plays with no surface noise, clicks or pops throughout both sides. The labels are clean and show no spindle marks.
The A side label does bear a very small and faint handwritten intials RJ in the bottom left hand (see picture) of the label, it is hardly visible unless view under a strong light.
All in all a very nice copy of a very rare item.
