Description
An original spring '74 cut of DSOTM on the UK Harvest label. A3/B3 - not the very 1st cut, but within 12 months of those original Solid-Blue Triangle copies. In fact, many of the 1st issues actually carried the very same A3/B3 matrix. Please note that label design is consistent with a spring '74 pressing. At this time Emi were in the throws of a label redesign and were substituting 'Gramophone' with 'Emi' in the perimeter text. This copy will have been one of the very 1st to carry the EMI text. How can we tell? Look at the labels and notice that there is a duplication error of 'Made in Great Britain' - it is mentioned once at six o'clock and then again at four o'clock. These copies are but 12 months behind those super collectable solid-blue triangle copies and are, in my opinion, fantastic value when you consider that they carry the same audio! The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original G&L cover with the original hype sticker in the top left corner and sealed sturdy left hand panel. Also included is the original inner sleeve, with both stickers and both posters. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) In super condition and I can vouch for the fact that this Lp has seen very light use. Why is that so important? Because this title is one of the fussiest for audio out there! Under close inspection we could only make out a couple of light marks and a few superficial very low-level ones - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are silent and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. Nearly all copies of DSOTM will carry some interference in that very first intro. I'm pleased to report that this copy is as clean as is humanly possible to find. Just a couple of light crackles over the first few heart-beats....and then silence! You can really hear the quality in the audio. Beautiful clarity and resolution allowing you to hear deep into the mix. By and large a stunning player with barely any interference. Just imagine what you'd pay for this if it had that solid-blue label!! All I could detect was the faintest touch of static in one or two very brief spots. It really is a stunning relatively near-master analogue cut that will blow you away...>>>
Cover (Ex-) In beautiful condition and many of the original copies have not survived in anything approaching this condition. Very nice clean front with less surface wear than you usually find. Please note there are one or two light scratches over on the left and a nick that's been coloured-in in the bottom left corner. The rear is in similarly fine condition with very little handling wear at all. The interior looks great - no issues at all. Edge wear is relatively light for this title and the spine exhibits a bit, but in no way looks bad. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity and remains an impressive specimen.
Inner (Ex-) Light ageing at extremities. No splits!
Posters (Ex/Ex+) No splits, markings, or ageing.
Stickers (Ex/Ex-) Nice condition, one sticker has crease.
