QUALITY HEAVY VINYL
WOW!! What an absolute pleasure it was to listen to. Great sound reproduction TURN IT UP!!!
She only has a few very light marks to her, certainly NOTHING to affect the wonderful playback. Only VERY light background crackle-mainly evident inbetween tracks....Just reminded me I am listening to a very 1st press of a ground breaking album-as the kids first heard it, back in '68!
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
**GORGEOUS-WHAT A SHEEN**
Labels:
EX!
1st Pressing labels.
Gorgeous deep Blue UNBOXED DECCA STEREO labels....RARE!
NO WRITING!
Barely any central hole wear, with just very light spindle marks
(please see the detailed photo's)
As usual for the 1st pressings, Richards credit is misspelt as "Richard."
An excellent example.
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.
Mirage Music, BIEM/NCB & G.E.M.A. credits to the label.
Cover:
VG+.
INCREDIBLY RARE PATENTS PENDING 1st COVER!
Gatefold white/cream cover with gold bordering. There are around 5 small crescents of spidering to the front and back laminate. With some fingers of spidering eminating from the spine, as well as the spine being a tad crushed but perfectly intact.
NO SPLITS
NO TEARS
NO WRITING
I AM BEING VERY CRITICAL
PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR FAIR GRADINGS
It really is a lovely cover-Not having much (if any) fading to the colour, with lightly rubbed corners and a wonderfully vibrant inner picture.
All in all a quality very 1st printing run for this cover...I have not come across many of these at all!
Inner:
EX!
ORIGINAL period Poly lined DECCA inner in SUPERB condition! It really has done it's job in keeping this record in tip-top condition.
Just some light discolouration through age-like me.
ALL ORIGINAL INNER.
