USA EARLY/FIRST? PRESSING VINYL LP IN GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH ORIGINAL WHITE INNER SLEEVE (NO FULL INSERT).

Why buy a first pressing and not a re-issue or a ‘re-mastered’ vinyl album?

First pressings are made from first generation lacquers and stampers. They usually sound vastly superior to later issues and re-issues (which are often pressed from whatever tapes or digital sources are currently available).

Many recent vinyl pressings claim to be mastered from ‘original tapes’ and are pressed on expensive 180g vinyl. Sonically, they frequently sound disappointing when compared to a decent condition first pressing. All too often, they sound like a CD pressed onto vinyl.

If you want the best analogue reproduction possible from vinyl, it is always a better investment to seek out original pressings in clean playing condition. They nearly always have more immediacy, presence and dynamics. The sound staging is wider, and subtle nuances are better placed with more spacious textures. Balances are firmer in the bottom end with the bass far tighter. Upper-mids shine, and the overall depth is more immersive. Inner details are clearer, and the music tends to sound more ‘alive’.

MATRIX NUMBERS IN RUN-OFF GROOVES: SIDE A: V6-5045 SIDE-1 MGS-1250-REV-F / SIDE B: V6-5045 SIDE-2 MGS-1251-REV-F.

SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+, JUST LIGHT SHELF, CORNER AND EDGE WEAR. INNER SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD+. PREVIOUS OWNER CUT OUT PART OF INSERT SO MOST OF IT IS MISSING - SEE PHOTO.

DISC: EXCELLENT MINUS. NO SCRATCHES AND NO NOTICEABLE SPINDLE WEAR, JUST A FEW LIGHT HAIRLINES. A REALLY SHINY COPY THAT DOES NOT LOOK PLAYED MUCH IF AT ALL. CLEAN LABELS. A SPLENDID PLAYING COPY WITH SUPERB AUDIO.
