Description

PETE BROWN AND HIS BATTERED ORNAMENTS - " A MEAL YOU CAN SHAKE HANDS WITH ", Harvest/EMI Records (SHVL 752) Stereo, 1969.

Extremely rare, UK first pressing LP of the classic debut LP by Pete Brown..

Original laminated gatefold sleeve design and matrix numbers ending in A2 and B2, clearly marking this out as a first pressing.


Matrix numbers

SIDE A = SHVL 752 A - 2
SIDE B = SHVL 752 B - 2


Professionally cleaned on my Moth record cleaning machine and put in a new poly-lined inner sleeve (the original inner has been retained for originality- see photo)


CONDITION:

VINYL  =  EX- (No deep scratches, groove damage, excessive surface noise, distortion, etc. Pretty clean labels with only light spindle trails - see photos. Under a strong direct light, this LP carries quite heavy paper scuffs and a couple of other very light superficial surface marks. Predictably, these are far too shallow to sound on playback. Generally the playback is very good and strong, certainly not suffering distortion or muffling that you would associate with over playing, which correlates with the clean labels. Saying that, as this record plays out, there is a bit of occasional faint surface noise audible in some quieter and silent sections, plus the odd faint background crackle from time to time. Mostly, it plays a bit better than it's cosmetic appearance would suggest.
Definitely not in museum piece condition, but to my mind these slight imperfections definitely do not ruin the listening experience and as long as you're expecting a a 60s record not some sterile CD reissue, it's still a good example or a very rare original LP. Ready to be enjoyed as originally intended and should sell for a more realistic price than the crazy values premium archive copies are now hitting.

Note: for the purposes of this listing I have tested this LP on my Linn LP12 Sondek turntable - generally this is quite a critical test, but I must point out that I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable - common sense for most... but then this is ebay!!!)


SLEEVE =  EX- (No rips, no tears, no heavy creases, no defacing, or heavy ring wear, etc . Just marked down a fraction for some smaller creases in the laminate, mostly eminating from the spine, some light normal wear to the edges and corners, a few grubby areas and other very slight signs of previous use - see photos for further clarification)


NOTE: I must point out that we are actually a long standing physical record shop, with many decades worth of selling, trading and grading records under our collective belts. Unlike so many of the jokers now selling records on ebay, we know how to grade records. Before bidding, please read my description carefully, decide how much this record is worth to you and place you max bid accordingly. Please also feel free to check out my feedback from the many other successful transactions I have made in the past.


ANY QUESTIONS? PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO GET IN TOUCH!

HAPPY BIDDING!!!!!
