G&L FLIPBACK SLEEVE, WELL PLAYED BUT GREAT SOUND EX

PROCOL HARUM
Shine On Brightly

ORIGINAL UK Regal Zonophone (SLRZ 1004) FIRST *STEREO* PRESSING (November 1968) OF PROCOL HARUM'S "Shine On Brightly" which includes the breathtaking 17-minute psych song suite 'In Held 'Twas In I' - ONE OF THE MOST AMBITIOUS AND FINEST PIECES OF WORK OF THE PERIOD AND THIS COPY, ALTHOUGH WELL PLAYED OVER THE YEARS STILL DELIVERS EXCELLENT SOUND THROUGHOUT WITH VERY LITTLE TO FAULT

PRESSED ON QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH THE FIRST ISSUE RED/SILVER REGAL ZONOPHONE LABELS
MATRIX: YCARX 49 -1 / YCARX 50 -1
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/O and 1/A (one of the first off the press)
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending" DATE CODED '6811' (1968, November)

Side 1: QUITE RIGHTLY SO / SHINE ON BRIGHTLY / SKIP SOFTLY (MY MOONBEAMS) / WISH ME WELL / RAMBLING ON
Side 2: MAGDALENE (MY REGAL ZONOPHONE) / IN HELD TWAS IN I (a) GLIMPSES OF NIRVANA, (b) TWAS TEA TIME AT THE CIRCUS, (c) IN THE AUTUMN OF MY MADNESS, (d) LOOK TO YOUR SOUL, (e) GRAND FINALE

LABELS: Clean, bright and fresh labels with moderate spindle traces - EXCELLENT
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen and have a few marks and scuffs in keeping with its moderate play status - these however have little audio consequence - VERY GOOD++
VINYL Audio: The sound reproduction is clear, sharp, rich, deep and detailed and on playback at a loud volume there are no major audio issues of note - no scratches, no sticks or jumps, no real surface noise evident (just a touch on the run-ins and track divisions) and the (very) occasional light click/pop (nothing continuous and nothing I found at all major or intrusive). Critically graded EXCELLLENT for audio - this is a very nice playing copy of a superb LP - one of the finest UK records of the late 60s
SLEEVE: The front laminated flipback sleeve is good, square and solid with a nice deep glossy sheen to the front laminated surface (with just a couple of small black marks). The edges and spine have little wear - all spine text is clear and bold. Overall, a fine example - VERY GOOD++
