FAR FAR MORE 1A/1A 1ST PRESSINGS OF THEIR 1ST LP (FOR EXAMPLE) TURN UP THAN THIS ONE!!!! IN FACT, THIS IS ONLY THE 2ND 1A/1B 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!

This is the ORIGINAL 1966 Decca UK UNBOXED 'Grooved' 1st MONO pressing and is in AWESOME condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is LK 4786 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press UNBOXED 'Grooved' Decca Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st pressing!!!!

CONDITION VINYL

RECORD LABEL The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and a few light spindle marks!!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE: GIVES THE NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE OF SOUND QUALITY BETWEEN SIDE 1 AND SIDE 2 I'LL DESCRIBE SEPARATELY THE SOUND QUALITY AND AUDIO GRADING.

SIDE 1: VISUAL GRADING Is in SUPERB condition!!!! NO scratches!!! Virtually unmarked under ordinary light. Closer inspection under a strong light one can observe only 2 or 3 MEGA light surface and only a few VERY LIGHT paper removal marks. SOUND QUALITY The record plays SENSATIONAL AND SUPERB with all frequencies clear and crisp with NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss, NO pops, it has only a touch of ULTRA LIGHT crackle - VIRTUALLY NONE!!! It plays simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!

SIDE 2: VISUAL GRADING: Is in SUPERB condition!!! NO scratches!!! Virtually unmarked under ordinary light. Closer inspection under a strong light one can observe only 2 surface marks and a few of light hairlines. It has also a few paper removal marks. SOUND QUALITY: It plays with a defect of recording (i think!), in fact there are no signs of groovewear, NO pops, NO jumps or badly played, badly marked or scratched. It plays with a very light background sound and, mostly important, all frequencies not are sharp and clear. I don't know to thing it is due, most likely the result of recording defect or maybe dust or static build-up - I have never attempted to clean this album, so there's every chance that a professional grade clean will eliminate most of any light interference.

CONDITION OUTER SLEEVE

The 1st Press 'Robert Stace' Laminated Cover is in SUPERB condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (apart from a ULTRA light flattened sign but VERY MINIMAL!!!), NO split, only slight corner wear (not through the color) and only a few light creases (cover is VERY FLAT LOOKING!!!), STUNNING shiny laminate. The opening edge is beautifully straight with light feathering. Even the unlaminated back is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, and barely ANY yellowing AT ALL (apart from a couple of absolutely TINY 'age traces' towards opening edge)!!!! It has also a faintly residue sticker mark and a owner's name pen mark in the bottom right hand corner (see scan) The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!

SUMMARY: DESPITE THE DEFECT OF RECORDING DESCRIBED ABOVE FOR THE SIDE 2 THIS IS A RARE AND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING ITEM!!!! AN AUTHENTIC RARITY AND SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND WITH THESE SUPER EARLIEST 1B/1A MATRIX ENDING NUMBER!!!!
