Description
RARE! THE EARLIEST 1ST UK PRESSINGS OF THIS ALBUM WERE PRODUCED AT THE 'TRANCO' PYE PRESSING PLANT AND ALTHOUGH THEY APPEAR TO BE PRESSED ON BLACK VINYL THEY ARE IN FACT DARK TRANSLUCENT RED WHEN VIEWED IN FRONT OF A BRIGHT LIGHT....AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE RARE PRESSINGS.... SUPERB! GENUINE 1ST UK 'TRANCO' PRESS VINYL LP ON FACTORY RECORDS PURCHASED NEW BY ME WHEN RELEASED 44 YEARS AGO IN 1980 (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ANY OTHER PRESSINGS) IDENTIFIED BY THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS; FACTORY RECORDS BLACK LABELS WITH '9/5/80' TEXT AND WITH ELEVATED OUTER PRESSING RING / TEXTURED SLEEVE WITH ORIGINAL DIE-CUT TEXTURED INNER WITH ROUNDED CORNERS AND NOTCHED OPENING / 1ST UK PRESS 'OLD BLUE?' A-1 B-1 MATRIXES / ORIGINAL CAT NUMBER AND NO BARCODE. ONLY GENUINE 1ST UK 'TRANCO' PRESSINGS HAVE ALL THESE CHARACTERISTICS....
THE 'TRANCO' VINYL IS BRIGHT AND GLOSSY AND IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO SCRATCHES BLEMISHES OR SCUFFS. THE VINYL LIES FLAT WITHOUT WARPS-VERY HARD TO FIND A SINILAR COPY!! THE FACTORY RECORDS LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY A FAINT SPINDLE LINE SPINDLE LINE. THE SLEEVE TOGETHER WITH ITS ORIGINAL INNER (A LITTLE LIGHT FOXING JUST ON ONE EDGE ...SEE PHOTO 7) IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO EDGE SPLITS TO EITHER SLEEVE AND WITH ONLY LIGHT SHELF WEAR. THE SPINE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TEXT. THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS I RECKON...VERY LITTLE TO SHOW FOR ITS 44 YEARS!! THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS FACT.25 (LABELS) AND FACT.XXV (SLEEVE) WITH 1ST UK PRESS MATRIX NUMBERS OLD BLUE? FACT 25 A1 BB 1 AND FACT 25 B-1 AT 2.
