Rare Shadow Cover! - Only seen in the earliest pressings

Decca Records: LK 4786
Very First 1B / 1A Matrices
Stampers (Side 1 / 2): 1 KA / 1 IB

Vinyl: Good + Visually the vinyl does show quite a few marks on both sides, including scuff marks and scratches. There's some writing on the Side 1 label and it's clear that this LP was quite loved back in it's day, which also shows in the audio playback. Luckily it still plays through from beginning to end without ever jumping or skipping anywhere but there is audible surface noise as it's played through and there can be clicks, ticks and pops from the marks. Actually one of the better examples of this album I have seen - it's a very fragile cutting due to how compressed it is to fit nearly an hour's worth of music. That said, it is still clearly worn and this one won't please the audiophiles or anyone picky. It still does play and it's an enjoyable listen at least, so still a worthy copy in my mind :)  
Cover: Very Good The rare text shadow cover has definitely held up better than the record itself, which is quite lucky. It looks very nice on the front panel with only light signs of wear for it's age. That said, it does still have some spots of laminate wear, some slight creasing and corner dinking plus some light signs of wear to the openings. The only thing that lets this cover down is the back panel, which has visible yellowing / dirt to it and a name that looks like was written with a pencil. The spine text is luckily still present and fully legible. I would have graded this higher if not for the back panel, hence the VG grade. All things considered, it's still a nice and decent example for it's age.
Unfortunately there is no original inner sleeve present but a high quality archival inner is included, free of charge.

Happy to provide any information required, including photos / audio samples. Please just ask and I'll do my best to assist! Many thanks!
