Chris Rea The Road to Hell 1974 Vinyl LP

Chris Rea – The Road to Hell (1974-06-02) [12-Inch]

Chris Rea’s The Road to Hell on EMI, a UK 12-Inch dated 1974-06-02. A curious piece for collectors, with label details that anchor it firmly to its era.

Why we rate it

This copy is a documented mispress: the same programme repeats on both Side A and Side B. It is not a white label or test pressing; instead, it carries regular EMI labels showing the tracks found on the commercially released version. As a result, it’s a finished factory item with an unusual playback quirk, making it an interesting archive of manufacturing variance.
