Description
An original 1st mono press of No.2 on UK Decca. Matrix 1A/2A. Comes housed in a genuine mono pinched spine cover printed by Robert Stace. This is the original and infamous 'BLIND MAN' version. Check out the top right corner - this text was provided by Loog-Oldman and was considered in very bad taste. It was even discussed in Parliament it caused such a furore in '65! So this is the genuine 1st cover and 1st record. Note the Decca deep groove on the label. The Decca inner is present too. So, we're 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex) Excellent condition - really hard to find on stones genuine '65. There are a few marks both sides - nothing heavy or problematic. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are lovely and quiet and the audio comes across with excellent clarity. Plays clean and for genuine '65 impressively so.
Cover (Vg+) A real pain to find in decent condition - and this example is very good...perhaps a shade better than average. The front exhibits no laminate lift - and pretty tidy. Do expect a bit of ageing in places on the rear - No.1 & No. 2 are so so difficult to find looking any better than this. Still tidy and the infamous Blind Man text fully legible. Slight edge wear in places. Spine is 90% intact. The cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Vg) Some creasing. No splits
