DEEP PURPLE
Who Do We Think We Are!

UK EMI/PURPLE RECORDS (TPSA 7508) *FACTORY SAMPLE* PRESSING (February 1973) OF "Who Do We Think We Are" - STUNNING COPY - LOOKS LIKE IT'S NEVER BEEN PLAYED

PRESSED ON MID-WEIGHT VINYL (143g) WITH THE FIRST ISSUE EMI/PURPLE LABELS WHICH CARRY"The Gramophone Co Ltd." RIM TEXT (changed to "EMI RECORDS..." in 1974)
SIDE ONE HAS THE *FACTORY SAMPLE* STICKER
MATRIX: TPSA 7508 A-1U (etched "PORKY") / TPSA 7508 B-1U (etched "PURPLE - PECKIE")
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 2/GP and 1/GO
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL DEEPLY GLOSSY OUTER LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd."
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INSERT (printed on one side of thin glossy paper)
AND THE ORIGINAL PATENTED "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" WHITE POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE

Side 1: WOMAN FROM TOKYO / MARY LONG / SUPER TROUPER / SMOOTH DANCER
Side 2: RAT BAT BLUE / PLACE IN LINE / OUR LADY

LABELS: MINT
Clean, bright and unmarked labels - no spindle traces or any signs the record has ever been played
VINYL Visual: MINT-
Both surfaces retain their original deep like-new glossy sheen and are unmarked
VINYL Audio: MINT-
Sensational audio quality - impressively recorded and engineered with a strong, rich, warm and vibrant sound and my play-check at loud volume found practically nothing to fault (just the occasional light dust ticks of new vinyl - which will no doubt disappear after a few spins - impossibly minor and I didn't clean this copy as it looks so immaculate) - an exceptional example of this first pressing - untouched since manufacture
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Again, the sleeve is like-new. There is pinching on the spine and the corresponding part of the opening edge where the cover has been strapped for transport (please see close-up photos) - this would have occurred at the time
LYRIC INSERT: MINT-
The lyric insert is clean, unmarked and untouched
