Vinyl: ARC Tribute (To Mike Hailwood) 7" SIGNED BY THE BAND & MIKE HAILWOOD! NWOBHM

ARC Tribute (To Mike Hailwood) 7" on the Orcrist label (ORC 1).

the A-Side label has been signed by the band AND Mike Hailwood, who was sadly killed the following year.

a few signed copies have come up for sale on ebay before, but i don't think that any others have been auctioned with Mike's signature on as well.

the record came to me as part of a collection, and the previous owner was a Midlands-based Sports journalist.

i'm guessing that he knew Mike personally, so perhaps that's how he ended up with a signed copy.

record has been cleaned on a Okki Nokki and play tested.

there's a small mark on the run-in groove (i've tried to show this in the third photo).

there's some low surface noise as the needle tracks through this and one low pop right before the track starts.

the track plays through well overall with just one more low pop.

there's some surface noise during the run-in groove, and at the start of the track. it settles down quite quickly though and the track plays through well afterwards. there's a few very low pops and surface noise creeping in as the track comes to an end.

i would say that it's between VG and VG Plus.

i ship worldwide. record will only be sent via 'International Tracked & Signed'.

i've put a charge of £11 to cover this. however, this is for the most expensive location (World Zone 2). other locations will be cheaper.

all EU locations will be £9.75

record will be sent via Special Delivery within the U.K.
