Shades Of Deep Purple LP - DEEP PURPLE (Tetragrammaton T-102)

Original 1968 U.S. stereo LP. Very nice copy of their hard charging debut album, almost always found in varying stages of beat-up covers & well worn vinyl. Cover still in original shrink + vinyl in MUCH better than average condition, sounds MIGHTY FINE. For inquiring minds, here's the dead wax matrix info (all etched): Side 1 = T (near the 6 on a clock), 7707 (between the 4 & 5), D-2 (close to the 3), HW-DCT (slightly past the 12) / Side 2 = T (approx same location as side 1), 7708 (approx same location as 7707 on side 1), D-2 (approx same location as side 1), LL-DCT (at approx the 8). This is the best copy of this LP I've had in a long, long time.

Disc = EX- to EX (GLOSSY - some lite hairlines + a couple of small, soft thin scuff marks - NOT AFFECTING PLAY AT ALL; plays MUCH, MUCH BETTER than it grades, w/ almost NO background noise to speak of; there are approx 6 revolutions of lite pops at the start of track 1 on side 1, but I don't see anything on the vinyl; otherwise, basically NO pops/clicks to speak of; a VERY FINE listen)

Cover = see pix; in original SHRINK; w/ 2 small breathe holes in front shrink; BRIGHT, VIVID COLORS on front, w/ virtually NO wear to speak of; very small crack/chip along front right edge near top; chunk of shrink missing in front top right & small chunk missing in front bottom right corner; also, a thin, diagonal split in front shrink; BRIGHT WHITE back, w/ only a hint of browning along left edge; small split on shrink seam, along back bottom left edge; seams/spine = A-OK, w/ only lite curling on top spine + tiny wear in right corner on bottom seam; a SUPER looking cover; any questions?, please ask

Labels = see pix; A-OK, w/ only some lite spindle marks by center hole
