*** RARE CANADA ONLY PRESSING *** YARDBIRDS "OVER UNDER SIDEWAYS DOWN"  1966 CAPITOL T6202 (RARE STEREO)
HERE IS AN AUTHENTIC 1ST PRESSING OF THE YARDBIRDS THIRD ALBUM ON CAPITOL RECORDS OF CANADA. THE MONO VERSION OF THIS TITLE DOESN'T OFTEN SURFACE, BUT IS FAR MORE COMMON ON THE MARKET. AUTHENTIC 1ST EDITION "STEREO" PRESSINGS ARE EXTREMELY RARE IN ANY CONDITION.
THIS VERSION IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE LATE 70'S UNOFFICIAL REPRESS/BOOTLEG WHICH FREQUENTLY SURFACES. THOSE COPIES CAN BE INDENTIFIED BY THE THIN PAPER STOCK USED TO MANUFACTURE THE COVER JACKET.  BOOTLEG COPIES ALSO DISPLAY RAMPANT "BLEEDING" OF THE TEXT PRINT; THE COVER IS NOT A PASTE OVER SLICK ; FRONT COVER PHOTO IS BLURRY; VINYL IS THIN AND INFERIOR QUALITY WITH SHARP EDGES. A/B LABELS ARE ALTERED. MATRIX #'S  ARE A VARIANT TO THE ORIGINAL CAPITOL ISSUE.
GRADING
GRADING A COVER SUCH AS THIS WAVERS ON ITS ATTRIBUTES AND IMPERFECTIONS.  WITH THE SHRINK WRAPPING, I GRADE THE COVER TO BE ON THE LOW END OF "EXCELLENT" (7.0 out of 10).
THE COVER ON THIS COPY HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL PRESERVED. COLOURS ARE SHARP AS NEW; BACKSIDE IS WHITE WITH ONLY THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF AGE DISCOLORATION ON THE EXPOSED AREAS WHERE THE SHRINK IS REMOVED (BACKSIDE). THIS COVER IS MADE OF "THICK" HEAVY CARDBOARD. IT RETAINS MOST OF THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPING; THERE IS A SMALL PIECE MISSING FRONT FACE TOP RIGHT, WHILE THE FRONT FACE BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE HAS A SLIGHT SEPARATION. BACKSIDE COVER THE SHRINK IS PARTIALLY SEPARATED AND THEREFORE SLIGHTLY LOOSE AROUND THE LENGTH OF THE JACKET'S OPEN END. OTHERWISE, THE SHRINK IS FIRMLY ATTACHED ACROSS THE BALANCE OF THE COVER; NICE 'N TIGHT ACROSS THE LEFT HAND SIDE CORNERS INCLUDING THE SPINE AND TOP AND BOTTOM SEAMS. NO WEAR TO EITHER THE SPINE OR SEAMS AND THE PRINT IS SHARP.  TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER DISPLAYS A SLIGHT "DOG EAR", BOTTOM RIGHT SHOWS THE ABSOLUTE SLIGHTEST OF WEAR.
THE DISC "VISUALLY" GRADES AS "VG", THOUGH AUDIBLY IT SHOULD PERFORM AS VG+.  
MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE CAPITOL 6000 SERIES PRESSINGS IS THEY TRACK REMARKABLY WELL IN SPITE OF ANY SURFACE WEAR.  CANADIAN VINYL, OF THIS VINTAGE IS ALSO SOFT AND SUPERIOR. THE VINYL ON THIS COPY STILL RETAINS MUCH OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE (A GOOD CLEANING RECOMMENDED). THERE ARE LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES AND ABRASIONS.  I'VE ATTACHED AN ADDITIONAL PHOTO WHICH DISPLAYS THE WORST OF THESE. NOTHING DEEP OR "FEELABLE". THE LABELS DISPLAY SPINDLE IMPRESSIONS; SIDE ONE HAS SEVERAL, SIDE B LESS DISCERNIBLE.  THE FACE OF BOTH A/B LABELS REMAIN COLORFULLY BOLD WITH LITTLE TO NO WEAR.  PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS ATTACHED TO DETERMINE IF MY DESCRIPTIONS MEET YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS.
THE DISC IS MADE OF THICK HEAVY VINYL WITH ROUNDED EDGES AND DISPLAYS THE PROPER MATRIX #'S, INDICATIVE OF A 1ST CANADIAN CAPITOL PRESSING: SIDE 1  YAX-3371 T.G. SIDE 2  YAX-3372 T.X.
