HARVEST SHVL 804 : 

MATRIX NOs: 

SHVL 804-A3 / SHVL 804-B3

Pressed on the same high quality vinyl as the original solid prism pressings and using very early cuttings mean that this is one of the best pressings of the album out there, hands down. It's a truly superb sounding record! Many find it to be a better bet than the 1st pressings as several side 2 B2 pressings have a pressing plant defect in the song Money.

Vinyl: Very Good

Visually the vinyl has surface scratches but it is relatively silent! It still has a gloss to it. The labels are clean. It plays through nicely and with great, strong audio throughout but there is some crackle and the occasional pops and clicks. Some are noticeable causing rotational ticks in  Breathe with the odd tick elsewhere throughout the album. It has been vacuum cleaned with Tergitol solution. 

I give it an Very Good grading. 

I think the only thing letting this LP down is those audible marks but luckily they're not too intrusive, and most of the time they can get drowned out by the music. It's an original A3/B3 cutting which audio-wise is just about as good as you can get and this pressing sounds rich!

Cover:  Very Good 

Comes with it's original cover which is the slightly later black tone version, overall in an VG shape. It does show some small signs of storage and age related wear, including some slight ring wear and light wear on the openings, but overall very nice indeed! It's not 100% perfect but it might be difficult to find a one of these in much better shape especially given the age! Comes with a blank white paper inner sleeve from the era,  and I have archived it in a poly vinyl sleeve after cleaning.
