Description
CAT NO SHVL 804. Matrix stamped A2 B2.In Excellent + Condition both Cover and Vinyl .See Photos.This is another excellent example with very little signs of wear on the Vynyl I Can see.
I am not a dealer but am simply selling my record collection as it is just taking up valuable room in the House.
On 14-Mar-16 at 12:25:25 GMT, seller added the following information:
Labels: Black Harvest label with solid light blue triangle (prism). Text around the top edge of the label starts at 10 o'clock and says: The Gramophone Co. Ltd. All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Text around the bottom edge of the label starts at 8 o'clock and says: Made in Gt. Britain Unauthorised public performance, broadcasting, and copying of this record prohibited.
Back Cover: Inverted prism. In the upper right corner, it says: "SHVL 804, (IE 064-05249), stereo."
The following is a guide to identifying all of the elements that make up the first pressing:
1. The label has a solid light blue prism. Subsequent pressings have a blue glowing inner edge prism with the centre black.
2. 'The Gramophone Co.' text starts at 10 o'clock on label.
3. A2/B2 matrix in deadwax of run out groove.
4. Thick heavyweight vinyl believed by some to be the 'finest' and most true encapsulation of this historical recording as the first pressing was pressed direct from the original masterplate. "These 1st pressings were straight from the masters and nothing even gets close to them today. They play with a deep clear warm clarity and have to be heard to be believed!".
5. There is a distinct bluish tint/tinge in the black ink of the cover.
6. There are three known original sleeve variations. 1. The right front opening of the gatefold cover is sealed with the two sides glued together. 2. The right front opening of the gatefold cover is sealed with a fold over flap that is glued inside the opening. 3. The right front opening of the gatefold cover is not sealed. A known 2/2 matrix, 1 mother, G stamper copy came with (3), an unglued and non-'folded in' sleeve at time of release, which hints at the possibility that very first pressings did not come with glued flaps, which is where the poster and stickers were located.
7. Inner sleeve is a distinctive polythene lined die cut black semi matt paper with white printed text stating 2 patent numbers bottom left [112555/1072844] and 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN' bottom right.
