1970 UK DECCA ECLIPSE STEREO ECS 2025
XZAL-7481-1W
XZAL-7482-1W
What a superb album, a brilliant rare stereo mix of top-notch uk mod-freakbeat at it's very best. The uk mono red decca 1st press original is very near impossible to find today in great condition, 1970 was a little late for a 60s mod-freakbeat release so this rare stereo decca eclipse second pressing did not sell very well at all and so is also very difficult to find in nice playing condition, this copy on offer here is in extremely clean EX+ condition and has been barely played at all.
VINYL = EX+ (BARELY PLAYED)
The vinyl is in really superb condition, both sides look close to mint having just a few very light wispy marks that do no effect play, this album has only ever been played half a dozen times on a decent deck so the stereo sound quality is still amazing and cannot be faulted, there is some very minor very occasional light background static crackle but this really is very minor as this album plays EX+ throughout, there are no nasty marks so there are no continuous pops or clicks. This is just a brilliant clean copy of one of the best uk mod-freakbeat albums ever recorded.
LABELS = EX
Both labels are in EX clean condition having barely any marks or wear, there are just a few short light spindle traces due to very careful play.
ROBERT STACE COVER = EX
The front laminated single cover was made and printed in the uk by Robert Stace. The front lamination is still very glossy and reflective, there are some very narrow areas of lamination blistering right near the spine, this is not really bad and is actually pretty common with a cover that is now almost 40 years old. The top and bottom edges are excellent with no wear, there are just tiny areas of rubbing right at all four corner tips. The spine is excellent with just one or two minute cracks but all text is very clear and very easy to read. The white matt back is still nice and clean with just light consistent signs of age and some light marking, this really is nothing bad at all so this cover still grades a very nice excellent condition. The blue/white stereo poly-lined inner sleeve is in EX++ very clean and tidy condition with no faults at all.
