AC/DC
Can I Sit Next To You, Girl / Rockin In The Parlour
AC/DC s first single, July 22nd 1974 with Dave Evans on vocals, before Bon Scott would join the band later that year.
The rarest of all Australian AC/DC singles, this was their 1974 debut single, which reached number 50 in the Australian ARIA charts.
This vinyl record was taken from an old Jukebox, and although the surfaces have some marks and faint lines, it plays very well, with only some really light background / surface noise not crackle, more a couple of areas on the A side, where there is faint surface fuzz , but no pops or clicks on either side of the record, other than a couple of little ones in the run-in / outs - see below
A Side - Can I Sit Next To You Girl Angus, Malcolm George Young, with vocals by Dave Evans
Visual - VG- numerous visible, but faint lines, no
deep scratches, or anything even close to being feelable
Audio - VG Top of the grade, great audio, no loud noises, but with some areas accompanied with a really faint surface fuzz, otherwise pretty much faultless.
Label - VG - in fantastic condition - no spindle marks, or excessive wear. No names, writing or stickers - see pics
B Side - Rockin In The Parlour
Visual - G has some visual marks that look to have been
caused by the jukebox. It is mostly over the last 1/3rd inner part of
the surface. It looks like perhaps a cable inside the jukebox has rubbed on the
surface, dulling the last 1/3rd of the record. It has no effect on the
playback, as it seems to have just dulled the surface, without damaging
the audio in the grooves.
Audio - VG Well played, but pretty much faultless audio, other than a couple of light pops in the run in / outs
Label - VG In brilliant condition, no spindle marks, or excessive wear. No names, writing or stickers - see pics
Visually, it is hard to justify a VG grade overall, but considering the audio playback labels, a solid VG, overall grading.
