HARVEST RECORDS, CAT NO: SHVL 781 - MATRIX NUMBERS A1G/B1G (NO EMI LOGO)
THIS IS A VERY GOOD+ FIRST PRESSING COPY OF THE PINK FLOYD CLASSIC 1970 ALBUM ATOM HEART MOTHER. IT IS PRESSED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL BY HARVEST RECORDS, HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE MATRIX NUMBERS AND CLEAN LABELS WITHOUT THE “EMI” LOGO WHICH WAS ON LATER COPIES.
VINYL: VERY GOOD+. BOTH SIDES ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH A DEEP LUSTRE TO THE VINYL, WHICH HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN WELL CARED FOR DOWN THE YEARS.
SIDE ONE HAS SOME VERY MINOR BACKGROUND CRACKLE IN QUIET PARTS BUT NOTHING SERIOUS, AND NO CLICKS, STICKS, SKIPS OR POPS. SIDE ONE RATES A GRADE OF EX-.
SIDE TWO HAS A FEW MORE MARKS, ONE OF WHICH CAUSES A LIGHT CLICK FOR FIVE OR SIX REVOLUTIONS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OPENING TRACK, “IF”, AND AN INTERMITTENT LIGHT CLICK AND SOME BACKGROUND NOISE THROUGHOUT “ALAN’S PSYCHEDELIC BREAKFAST” . NONE OF THIS IS TOO INTRUSIVE, AND THERE ARE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR LOUD POPS. OVERALL SIDE TWO RATES AS VG+.
LABELS: EXCELLENT. NO WRITING OR MARKS, NO EMI LOGO, ALL TEXT CORRECT AND CONSISTENT WITH A GENUINE FIRST PRESSING, NICE BRIGHT COLOURS.
OUTER SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+. GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE, EARLIEST VERSION WITH PATENT NUMBER PRINTED ON THE LOWER LEFT INNER GATEFOLD - LATER ISSUES DO NOT HAVE THIS. INNER GATEFOLD IS VERY CLEAN, BUT HAS A SMALL NAME WRITTEN IN INK (SEE PHOTOS). THE SPINE IS INTACT AND READABLE, ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME SCUFFING TOWARDS THE BOTTOM. THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS ARE VERY GOOD OVERALL, WITH SOME STORAGE WEAR AND MINOR SCUFFS AND CREASING BUT NOTHING SERIOUS.
INNER SLEEVE: BRAND NEW POLY-LINED ANTI STATIC WHITE PAPER TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL WHICH WAS BADLY SPLIT.
OVERALL - A VERY GOOD+ ACCEPTABLE COPY OF A RARE FIRST PRESSING WHICH SHOULD BE IN EVERY SERIOUS ROCK COLLECTION.
