The Record

Near Excellent condition

Near Excellent condition on this 1970 1st Pressing 636011-1Y and 636011-2Y,

 a real timepiece looks great! a few spindle lines and stored upright in PVC jacket for many years.some very light removal scratches or surface lines to report there are removal scuffs under strong light, a real finders dream!
plays incredible with hardly any background noise could benefit from a professional clean, we don't do this its a personal thing. some light "clicks " in the quieter passages but the overall volume of the music is easily enjoyable on the soon to be 47 year old, super shiny clean fat pre oil crisis 70s vinyl (see pics) great swirl labels...

The cover has been taped for protection many years ago( as was custom sadly)

there is also a damage (see pics) on the inner gatefold which detracts, still a 100% original "Big Bear Jim Simpson" cover. price is ranged accordingly.  

the original "Vertigo Swirl" inner is present along with a new lined sleeve. the original swirl inner has aged and yellowed slightly but is in good order no tears or rips.

The Cover
Good Condition

Great original 1970 *Big Bear* engineer Jim Simpson credit "Keef" cover with UK  "matt finish" a great condition with almost zero ringwear to rear,  the

the inner gatefold is really nice clear clean and not a lot of handling evident, truly a collectors find. no holes, a good sleeve that would be *Nr Excellent* only the Tape and Scuff on gatefold holds it back to "good condition"the cover has been "Taped" for protection many years ago (as was custom) so that detracts, damage above the track credits on gatefold see pics, still a great 100% original 1st UK Press from 1970. 

any questions look at pics and ask.....


pictures in the listing are of the item for sale " what you see is what you get here"


Plays fantastic with bright clear sound and amazing bass, may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some background static is noticeable in the quieter passages but nothing to disrupt playing no sticks or jumps on our Rega 3.

any questions please ask!
