LOVELY AND EARLY HERE
Vinyl: VG(+).
Quality 150g vinyl.
WOW!! What an absolute pleasure it was to listen to. Great sound reproduction TURN IT UP!!!
She has a few light marks to her-visible when angled towards the light. I noticed minimal background noise-more so inbetween tracks, which would be severely reduced with a professional clean...(I am trying to save up for a VPI machine!)
AN UTTER JOY TO LISTEN TOO
FLAT
Certainly no jumps or skips.
Labels: EX-. Gorgeous deep red UNBOXED DECCA Mono labels....RARE!
NO WRITING!
Minimal hole wear, just light spindle marks (please see the detailed photo's).
As usual for the 1st pressings, Richards credit is misspelt as "Richard."
NOW then....The really special thing about this VERY EARLY 1ST pressing, is the absence of the DECCA groove. This groove was faded out by 1968.
An wonderful example.
Cover: G+. Gatefold white/cream cover with gold bordering. There are some small half crescents to the front laminate near the opening. There's also some small (no more than 2cm) fingers of spidering eminating from the spine, as well as the spine being a bit squashed near the album name(again, please see the detailed photo's).
I AM VERY CRITICAL
It remains a solid cover-with some light rubbing to the corners but still has the vibrant inner picture. No feathering to the opening.
There is a small line of cellotape to the bottom of the left gatefold-not sure why as there isn't a split there.
All in all a SOLID cover, which is VERY far from trashed.
"SLEEVE PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED"
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES AND READ MY FEEDBACK FOR HONEST GRADINGS AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS.
Inner: EX. It is an ORIGINAL poly lined DECCA inner, however it has got mixed up in it's life as it has the blue stereo border, rather than the red mono border...
Light handling wear and little discolouration.
NO SPLITS/TEARS OR WRITING.
It really has done it's job in keeping this record in great condition.
