THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER REISSUE pressings from a few years later-This ESSENTIAL LP pressed within the first few WEEKS of issue from 1964 when British beat was at it's best!
THIS BAND DESERVED TO HAVE MORE SUCCESS-NO WONDER COLLECTORS ARE KEEN TO GET THEM-ESPECIALLY SUCH A GREAT 14 TRACK R&B STORMER AS THIS!
TRY TO IMAGINE THE PRETTY THINGS/THE YARDBIRDS/EARLY WHO AND ROLLING STONES ROLLED INTO ONE AND THAT'S WHAT YOU COULD BE ENJOYING!
AN INCREDIBLE LP THAT STILL SOUNDS EXCITING 45 YEARS ON!
MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN VERY GOOD WITH SURFACE MARKS AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT THAT IS BEING STRICT!
THE TWO"JUMPS"MIGHT PLAY THROUGH ON OLDER/HEAVIER EQUIPMENT BUT AS IT IS JUST ONE TRACK, IT SHOULD NOT BE A MAJOR DISASTER.
NO STICKS!/NO NASTY LONG CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION.
Copies of this album BARELY sold in so how many were preserved like this one??-APART FROM THE TWO JUMPS THE SOUND IS FABULOUS!!!!!!
In those early days with LIMITED exposure on Radio and TV, POP/BEAT LPs were carefully considered and saved for items,many beat fans not able to afford such a luxury as a regular item.
The Mono mixes are brilliant and full of bass.
Those that bought beat LPs were usually using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds.
Vinyl is still the best way to hear THE BEAT SCENE MUSIC OF 1964 and always will be!
GREAT SOLID SOUND!
I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.
I HAVE PLAYED IT FOUR TIMES TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.
There is A LITTLE spindle wear.
The surface marks are MINIMAL AND NO DEEP SCRATCHES APART FROM THAT SMALL"JUMP"MARK!
There is A LITTLE surface crackle, but it is MINIMAL-the odd"spit"type surface noise between tracks.
NO DEEP MARKS!
NO NASTY SCUFFS!
CLEAN UNDEFACED LABELS.
THE PRINT IS STILL CLEAR TO READ.
THE COVER HAS A NUMBER OF FAULTS.
THE PREVIOUS OWNERS NAME AT THE BACK,ONCE IN BLACK PEN AND MUCH FAINTER HIGHER UP AS WELL AS SOME STAINING.
PART OF THE FLIPBACK IS TATTY WITH A COUPLE OF TINY PIECES MISSING AT THE CORNERS.
A FEW MINOR TEARS AT THE FRONT,TOP RIGHT,HALF WAY DOWN RIGHT AND A FEW AT SPINE EDGE.
NO NASTY SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,STAPLES ETC.
EMITEX INNER SLEEVE INCLUDED!
Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults.
MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!
This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!
AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN A VERY STRONG,VERY GOOD CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "VG"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.
