The very first and one of the rarest Mansun (then titled Manson) vinyl items to find. The original Take It Easy Chicken promo 7″. It comes in a plain white sleeve with silver label .
Released in 1995 , only a ‘handful’ of these were produced. As Mansun were not signed to any label at this time , the record was self-released and simply states ‘Manson Promo’.
The record plays the same track (Take It Easy Chicken ) on both sides.
Matrix / Runout (Side A runout, stamped / etched): A-1-1-Q1 MANSON
Matrix / Runout (Side B runout, stamped / etched): B-1-1- Q1 MANSON
I have two copies of this promo , one was originally Paul Draper’s own copy and the second I purchased from a German seller on Discogs website.
Hi
Do you know how many were made? I have a copy bought off ebay 15yrs ago and never seen another for sale.
Hi Edward,
that’s an interesting question because i heard it was only a handful . Must have been a large hand as i have two , you have one and i know about six other fans who have a copy too.
I really don’t know the accurate answer though.
A lot of people think the yellow ‘Chicken’ 7″ is rare but i think that was either 1000 or 500 and easy to get hold of.
Thanks for getting in touch!
