Description
ATTENTION THE BEACH BOYS COLLECTORS AND 1960s STEREO LP UPGRADERS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1965 STEREO 1ST UK EDITION OF THE ALBUM:"ALL SUMMER LONG".
EMI PRESSED CAPITOL "RAINBOW RIM" ROUGH TEXTURED LABELS WITH THE "SOLD IN THE UK" LABEL TEXT NOT ON LATER DESIGNS WHEN HARDLY ANY COPIES WERE SOLD IN STEREO. MOST SHOPS ONLY OBTAINED THE STEREO VERSIONS TO SPECIAL ORDER AND OF COURSE MOST OF THE STEREO EQUIPMENT OF THE MID 1960s WAS BASIC AND HEAVY-SOMETIMES THESE STEREO DISCS WERE PLAYED ON MONO ONLY EQUIPMENT IN ERROR. THIS EXAMPLE HOWEVER HAS CLEARLY BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN 50 YEARS WITH GLEAMING SURFACES WITH THAT JUST PRESSED LOOK! ONLY A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS IN VERY STRONG LIGHT. HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE-JUST A LITTLE CRACKLE AT THE START OF THE QUIET OPENING OF THE FIRST TRACK ON SIDE 2 AND THAT IS ALL! NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS,NO SWISHES! FANTASTIC WIDE STEREO SOUND-NOT THE ELECTRONIC STEREO STYLE USED ON LATER ALBUMS!
THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER IS PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE AND HAS THE"PATENTS PENDING"CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED AND NOT ON LATER COVERS AS WELL AS THE DATE CODE 6507(JULY 1965)-THE ALBUM WAS RECORDED AT THE END OF 1964 BUT DIDN'T GET A UK ISSUE UNTIL 1965.
THE POLYLINED "EMITEX" INNER SLEEVE HAS THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED HAS SOME TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,SPLITS,RIPS OR REPAIRS.
THE RECORD IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND OF UPGRADER STANDARD. PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY BEATLES ALBUMS! UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TO ENSURE REALISTIC AND SATISFYING GRADINGS. BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE. THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER WITH SOME TINY EDGE CREASES,SOME SLIGHT STAINING AND A PREVIOUS OWNER'S NAME AT THE BACK BUT NO OTHER WRITING,NO RIPS OR REPAIRS AND VERY PRESENTABLE.THICK AND 100% FLAT VINYL.
THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR-NO LABEL WRITING OR STAINING.
MOST COPIES SOLD IN 1965 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT,BEYOND LISTENING PLEASURE ON TODAY'S UNFORGIVING EQUIPMENT,USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT, SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HAD VERY FEW PLAYS INDEED!
GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!
THE STEREO MIXES OF THIS ALBUM ARE DIFFERENT TO THE MONO ONES AND MOST BEACH BOYS COLLECTORS WILL WANT TO OWN BOTH BUT OF COURSE THE MAJORITY OF ORIGINAL STEREO COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL-THIS BEING A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE NOT TO BE MISSED!
A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE FOR THIS IMPORTANT PART OF ANY BEACH BOYS OR ESSENTIAL ALBUMS COLLECTION!
YOU'LL LOVE IT FOR YEARS AND HOPEFULLY WILL RETURN TO ME AGAIN!
SUPERB WIDE STEREO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!
The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
