Description
This is an auction for a rare LP by John Mayall & Blues Breakers, A Hard Road .
This was released on Decca Records in 1967 and has catalogue number LK4853. This is the 1st pressing with red and silver labels, a groove runs around the circumference of the label and the Decca lettering is in large letters (unboxed). This is mono.
Matrix Numbers- ARL 7652 2A ARL 7653 2A
Condition: The sleeve has some discolouring marks, some of which will clean of the front laminated surface. There are a few small lamination creases and lastly buffing to the very corners and light buffing of the mouth. Spine and edges fine, no tears, bends or creases, lamination at mouth ex. Please check the pictures and graded at VG.
This comes with its original patent inner sleeve that is a little tatty.
Labels: Both labels are clean, under closer examination some spider spindle trails can be seen on each side, the centre hole shows little signs of wear on both sides.
Vinyl- both sides retain there near new shine, when held under a strong light a few tiny feather scratches and a few dust/dirt cleanable marks can be seen. I have play tested this record through both sides and the above surface marks are completely non-audible.
Side 1 has a quiet entry and goes on to play with very little lessening in sound quality. Quiet introductions and breaks between tracks, the music itself plays strong and clear with no distortion, fading or dragging heard whatsoever, other than the occasional very quiet crackle this side plays fine.
Side 2 has the same quiet entry and breaks between tracks. The music itself plays strong and clear through this side with no fading, distortion or dragging heard whatsoever. Again other than the very occasional very quiet crackle it plays fine.
This plays at Near Mint, with very little lessening in sound quality but is given a strict grade of VG+, down-graded simply because it has been played more than a few times.
Nice sound quality and a fine addition to your collection.
