“From The Beginning”
MONO LP
Very Rare
1967 UK 1st pressing
DECCA LK 4879
Incredibly early matrix numbers
Side A : XARL-7881-7B , Side B : XARL-7882-7A
Very rare original 1967 UK 1st Press of this Small Faces LP. This is now very hard to find at only a few sold in 1967 – partly because of the high cost of LPs at the time. Comes with the original Decca Red label and very early matrix numbers. Most copies of this LP have matrix numbers which are 8A/9A or even higher. The cover is the original 'Clout & Baker' 1st pressing with the laminated front and unlaminated rear.
Vinyl: Thick high quality 1st pressing vinyl which retains a nice sheen. Side 1 is very good. Side 2 is good and although it plays fine on my system with some hiss, it skipped in places on another system that was used. I guess the quality will depend upon your hi fi equipment. Would benefit from a clean but do not expect mint - hence the low starting price for such a rare LP.
Cover: Original UK 1st Press front laminated Clout & Baker sleeve. This is in excellent condition for a 40 year old cover. No tears, seam splits or writing/doodles - just some minimal wear along the opening edge.
Labels: Excellent with no doodles. This is the 1st pressing red/silver label with the inner ridge.
Postage £3.50 (UK) £5 (EUROPE) & £7 (REST OF THE WORLD)
Mint - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
Excellent - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
Very Good - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise, it may even jump.
Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc
Bad - The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
