From my own personal collection I am pleased to offer an exceptional MINT- example of the iconic live double album by DEEP PURPLE titled “MADE IN JAPAN”, Catalogue Number TPSP 351. This is an ORIGINAL 1972 UK STEREO 1st PRESSING on the PURPLE RECORD LABEL, with a superb 1st ISSUE GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTD laminated gatefold sleeve. [The record labels have “THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD…” text around the tops. The matrix numbers and run-out etchings are the earliest A-1U  ‘PORKY’, B-1U  ‘DELTA PORK’, A-1U  ‘PECKO’ and B-1U  ‘PECKIE’, which indicates the work of the renowned cutting engineer George ‘Porky’ Peckham].

 

The sleeve is in EX+ condition with barely any wear and only a few minor creases. This is a tough sleeve to find in truly excellent condition – but this one is a very fine example indeed.  

                     

The top quality Purple records are in MINT- condition. They are nice mid-weight pressings which sit perfectly flat on the turntable. The record labels are like new with only a few faint spindle traces each side. There is virtually no wear to either spindle hole. The sound quality of the 1U/1U/1U/1U Gramophone Co Ltd labelled 1st pressings is truly exceptional – very loud-cut and vibrant with powerful driving bass. It’s no wonder that they are so highly sought after. All 4 sides of this cherished vinyl play essentially as new. The audio playback is faultless. Lead-in and linking grooves play with near silence and there is virtually no unwanted noise at all. If you are looking for the very best-playing 1st press copy available – look no further!

 

Complete with the correct matching white inner sleeves.

 

Overall this is a magnificent 1st press copy which will grace any record collection.

 

GRADINGS

The records that I offer for sale have been critically play-graded, at loud volume, on a Rega P5 turntable fitted with an Elys 2 cartridge. I will only sell records that play to a high standard. My gradings are strict and in accordance with the following descriptions:

·         MINT- Record is superb, almost like new, with just a few sleeve removal type surface marks and no deterioration in sound quality. Sleeve is near perfect in all respects.

·         EX Record is a top quality example, with just a few very light surface marks which do not sound, and barely any discernable deterioration in sound quality. Sleeve has slight wear and/or creasing.

·         VG Record has some visual surface marks, but still plays to a high standard without any major deterioration in sound quality – just a few clicks or light surface sound in places. Sleeve has normal wear and tear without any major defects. Still a very presentable sleeve.

 

PACKAGING        

LPs are packaged with care and well protected to ensure that they arrive safely in the same condition as they leave me. Records are removed from both inner and outer sleeves in order to prevent seam-splits in transit.

                                

INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE

LPs posted outside of the UK will only be sent International Signed-For with full insurance at the following cost:   

Europe - £11.25

Worldwide - £15.70
