THE BEACH BOYS
Title : Smiley Smile Label : Capitol Cat No : T 9001
Issue : UK MONO 1st Press
This is the UK Mono 1st press of 'Smiley Smile' by The Beach Boys. The rare Mono press is complete with the earliest rainbow Capitol label and the earliest 'Patents Pending' Garrod & Lofthouse laminated flipback sleeve.
The record is in Very Good+ condition. When examined under a strong light the vinyl on each side has the most wonderful high gloss, there is no whitening of the grooves at all. There are just a few light marks but nothing significant at all. On the turntable the record lies completely flat. The sound is warm, there is just occasional noise, but the vocals are sharp and clear.
The Capitol label is completely clean, the black is incredibly bold the colours are vivid and the bright silver text is sharp. There is light spindle wear. The record is complete with the original EMI advertising inner sleeve in Excellent condition.
The earliest Garrod & Lofthouse flipback laminated sleeve is in Excellent condition. The laminate has a wonderful polished mirrorlike shine. The image is entirely unworn, the colours still have their bold original finish and it is completely flat. The back is still very bright with sharp text and the picture is still sharp. The flipbacks are complete, still sealed and very clean. There is just a little discolouration and corner wear. The opening edge has the slightest wear otherwise the edges are incredibly firm and unworn. The pinched spine is sensational. It is exceptionally solid and the text is immaculate. The whole sleeve is still incredibly solid.
