Description

An original very 1st press of Transformer on the UK RCA label. Matrix 1E/1E - very 1st cut. Shiny flat labels....as you would find on the very 1st presses. And the audio is a joy to behold - perhaps the best copy I've witnessed. The vinyl comes housed in an original clout& Baker cover. Also included is the original plain RCA inner sleeve. So, 100% complete and 100% genuine.
Vinyl (Ex+) In superb condition and has clearly only seen light use. Under close inspection I could only make out a couple of light marks per side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback with one tiny deviation. The audio is quite frankly stunning - don't think I've ever heard better. Intros and inbetweens are really nice and quiet and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. You can hear all the really low-key percussion parts...even the lightest tinkle of the triangle! A lot of the tracks on Transformer are actually quite low-key and this album is perhaps more of a test for a clean playing copy than you might imagine. Never the less this copy delivers a supremely clean rendition which will not fail to impress. Expect a couple off crackles in a couple of isolated spots per side. And the only deviation is a couple of low-level ticks on the opening [quiet] guitar chord to 'Wagon Wheel' - this is very minor and I'm mentioning only to be as super-critical as I can be. FINAL UPGRADE...
Cover (Vg+) A sweet looking original example. Nice and clean back and front without the usual ageing or scuffing you tend to find. A couple of creases back and front - nothing too noticeable. Touch of ringwear on the rear, but it's still looking very nice. The spine is 100% intact and this is pretty unusual on this title. A very fine example which will impress no doubt...
Inner (Vg+) Light ageing. No splits.
