Description

This is a very early mono U.K. pressing of the Small Faces’ debut album ‘Small Faces’ from 1966. 

  • Matrix / Runout (Runout A-side, variant 5, stamped): XARL-7217-5A M KT 2 1 SU A
  • Matrix / Runout (Runout B-side, variant 5, stamped): XARL-7218-3A 1 KT 1

This early pressing has an indentation/groove on the label which corresponds to the above Matrix number. The Decca logo isn’t boxed, which it was on subsequent pressings  The cover is in very good condition, the front laminate retains its sheen and has raised in very few places. There is ringwear indentation from the record. The lettering and numbering on the spine is clearly legible. No tears or splits anywhere on the cover. The vinyl has the unavoidable hairlines - the vinyl is absent of fingernail marks but there is one short scratch which I have managed to photo, it can be seen on the last photo, track 1. I have listened several times to this track and at about halfway through it  you can hear a faint click behind the music. This is the only ‘ disturbance’ on the entire album, the sound reproduction is very good indeed.  I’ll cover the cost of postage -  Royal Mail first class  Regards Paul
