UK CHARISMA RECORDS (CAS 1054) FIRST 'PINK SCROLL' PRESSING (February 1972) OF AUDIENCE'S FOURTH AND FINAL LP "Lunch" - IN BEAUTIFUL, BARELY PLAYED CONDITION AND DELIVERING PRACTICALLY FLAWLESS SOUND ON MY SYSTEM - AT A VERY LOUD VOLUME! (see detailed audio assessment below) - FANTASTIC COPY

PRESSED ON QUALITY MID/HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH THE FIRST ISSUE PINK CHARISMA LABELS
MATRIX: CAS 1054 A-2U / CAS 1054 B-2U (the earliest matrix for this LP)
VERY EARLY MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/R and 1/R (marking this copy out as in the batch of the first 300-600 pressed)
THE LP IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL DELICATE TEXTURED GATEFOLD "Sleeve printed and made by the E. J. Day Group, London and Bedford"
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER SLEEVE

Track Listing:
Side 1: Stand By The Door / Seven Sore Bruises / Hula Girl / Ain't The Man You Need / In Accord
Side 2: Barracuda Dan / Thunder And Lightnin' / Party Games / Trombone Gulch / Buy Me An Island

LABELS: The labels are clean and bright with no unwanted marks/writing and just a coupe of light spindle traces - beautiful barely played copy
VINYL Visual: The vinyl still retains its original deep, glossy sheen with just some light marks on the surfaces from nearly 40 years of storage - these have no audio consequence - the playback is practically flawless throughout
VINYL Audio: Outstanding audio quality with a clean, sharp, warm and vibrant sound and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing) there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps, no clicks/pops and no surface noise during the music, just the slightest touch of background between a couple (not all) of the tracks (extremely minor, unobtrusive and really hardly worth a mention). The sound quality is really sensational and the LP plays to an extremely high standard with all frequencies bright and clear and no groove-wear or distortion (it has seen very, very little play). Critically graded NEAR MINT for audio (it's practically flawless) - this is a really fantastic copy
SLEEVE: This cover is incredibly prone to wear, having an almost blotting paper type matte finish but this one has survived incredibly well and is easily the finest example of this delicate sleeve I have ever seen. It's beautifully clean and unmarked and apart form some very minor record impression on the back is in practically MINT condition with unworn edges and all spine text clear and bold (this text is usually the first thing to go) - an absolutely beautiful example
INNER SLEEVE: The lyric inner is also in beautiful condition - it's clean and practically unmarked (just a few very light 'foxing' spots) and has no splits to any of the edges (which again, is very rare for this inner sleeve if, in fact, there is one present at all as most copies of this pressing I have seen have a plain white inner sleeve). There is a little record impression present but otherwise, a strong EXCELLENT+
