HATFIELD AND THE NORTH
The Rotters' Club

ORIGINAL UK VIRGIN (V 2030) FIRST PRESSING (February 1974) OF HATFIELD AND THE NORTH'S STUNNING SECOND LP IN SUPERB CONDITION AND DELIVERING JUST ABOUT THE FINEST AUDIO YOU ARE LIKELY TO FIND FOR THIS OFT TROUBLESOME PRESSING - AS THE QUIETER SECTIONS (and there are many) OFTEN PLAY WITH EXCESSIVE SURFACE NOISE - BUT THIS COPY PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY (and cleanly) THROUGHOUT - FANTASTIC PIECE OF WORK AND VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

PRESSED ON QUALITY MID-WEIGHT VINYL WITH THE FIRST ISSUE COLOURED TWO VIRGINS LABELS
MATRIX: V 2030 A-1U / V 2030 B-1U
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/G and 1/R (one of the first 300-600 pressed)
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FULLY LAMINATED, DEEPLY GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE “Printed in England by Robor Limited.”

Track Listing:
Side 1: Share It / Lounging There Trying / (Big) John Wayne Socks Psychology On The Jaw / Chaos At The Greasy Spoon / The Yes No Interlude / Fitter Stoke Has A Bath / Didn't Matter Anyway
Side 2: Underdub / Mumps - Your Majesty Is Like A Cream Donut (Quiet) - Lumps - Prenut - Your Majesty Is Like A Cream Donut (Loud)

LABELS: The labels are clean, bright and unmarked with moderate spindle marks (please see close-up photos)
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces still retain their original deep, glossy sheen and are practically unmarked - there are some hairlines but these have little audio consequence - the playback is sensational
VINYL Audio: Outstanding audio - crystal clear, beautiful rich and warm sound which knocks the socks off the pristine, clinical sound of the CD version and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my records prior to listing and it's always a real pleasure to return to this one) there are no scratches, no sticks/jumps, no loud clicks or pops (an occasional light 'tick' but nothing ever intrusive) and barely any surface noise - a finer copy would be pretty had to locate indeed - I certainly haven't heard one. The sound quality is simply sensational and the whole LP plays to an impressively high standard with no groove-wear, no distortion, sounds stunning and is very, very critically graded a strong EXCELLENT+ for audio - superb copy and very, very highly recommended
SLEEVE: The deeply, deeply glossy sleeve is also in beautiful condition - clean, fresh and unmarked with a glass-like sheen with just a little rubbing and record impression from storage but otherwise, like-new with crisp, sharp, unworn edges and spine with all text clear and bold - EXCELLENT++
