SHVL 793 STEREO

A - 2 U

B - 3 U

Released in September 1971 on the HARVEST label, I am offering today this very good all round first UK pressing of this classic album by DEEP PURPLE titled "FIREBALL". It is a first UK pressing with Gramophone rim text and A2 B3 matrix numbers. The album is the bands fifth release and the second album to feature Ian Gillan on vocals. The album shows a few light inaudible scuffs and plays with excellent audio

The album comes with its original first issue fully textured gatefold sleeve. This is excellent, it has no splits or tears or unwanted writing etc overall a very presentable example.

The album comes complete with its hard to find lyric insert. This is somewhat discoloured with some small writings.

I have just played this through for these listing purposes and it plays through nicely. Needless to say absolutely no sticks or skips etc

The VINYL, The Vinyl is in very good condition showing a few light scuffs. I have just played it through and can state that it plays excellent with absolutely no nasty sticks or skips etc, overall this is an excellent playing example.

The SLEEVE, The Garrod & Lofthouse fully textured gatefold sleeve is in very clean excellent condition. There are no splits or stickers etc and the spine is fully legible but is showing a touch of light ring wear.

The LABELS, The first issue Harvest labels with Gramophone text are very clean. Needless to say they are free from unwanted writing or stickers etc.

The INNER, The Harvest advertising inner sleeve is clean and free from unwanted writing or splits etc.

The INSERT, The lyric insert which is usually missing is present but is somewhat discoloured and has a little writing.

I try to be accurate in my grading as I know what its like to buy miss graded items but won't insult you by writing song lyrics etc. If you feel I have not described this correctly I am happy to refund you providing I receive the item back in the same condition as it leaves me, But I can only refund one lot of postage,

THIS RECORD WAS PLAY TESTED ON A LINN AXIS THROUGH A MUSIC FIDELITY AMP
