This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a scarce, original UK advance "A" label promotion pressing of Jackie Trent's "Look At The Rain", released on the prestigious Pye Records label in 1970 (Catalogue No. 7N 17882). Highly coveted by 1960s and 1970s UK pop and Northern Soul vinyl collectors, this rare 7-inch 45 rpm single features a striking yellow label with the iconic black bar design. Adding immense historical value to this archive-grade artefact, the centre label is officially date-stamped 9 JAN 1970, marking it as a genuine pre-release broadcast copy distributed just before the commercial release date.

The vinyl features the definitive, earliest 7N17882A-1△6 KT 1 A (inverted) / 7N17882B-1△6 KT 1 A (inverted) first matrix and runout stampers, ensuring the highest audio fidelity possible from the master tapes. The double-sided single features the melancholy A-side track "Look At The Rain", backed by the atmospheric B-side "While The City Sleeps".

This investment-grade piece comes housed in its original, vibrant pink Pye company sleeve. Professionally graded under intense light, both the sleeve and vinyl sit in strong VG+/VG+ (Very Good Plus) condition. The pink paper sleeve remains wonderfully clean with only minor, age-related wear along the top opening edge. The vinyl retains its original gloss, displaying a few minor surface marks that do not impact the overall visual appeal of this beautiful UK promo copy specimen. A standout addition for any serious UK vinyl archive.
