SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THESE VERY EARLY PRESSINGS AS THEY ARE NOW SIXTY ONE YEARS OLD AND THEY WERE USUALLY PLAYED ON A DANSETTE OR SIMILAR RECORD PLAYER WITH HEAVY PICK UPS AND SO MANY COPIES DIDN'T SURVIVE
THIS IS A UK MONO FIRST PRESSING WITH BLACK AND GOLD LABELS IN ITS CORRECT E.J.DAY FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE WITH FAR RIGHT ANGUS McBEAN PHOTO CREDIT ON THE FRONT
COMES COMPLETE WITH A N.E.M.S. CREDITED SLEEVE SUPPLIED ON PURCHASE FROM ONE OF BRIAN EPSTEINS SHOPS IN LIVERPOOL AND IS IN DECENT CONDITION
LABELS HAVE THE UNCORRECTED DICK JAMES CREDITS FOR 'I SAW HER STANDING THERE' ,'MISERY' ,'DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET' AND 'THERE'S A PLACE"
RECORD SLEEVE FRONT IS CLEAN AND LEGIBLE, THERE IS A MARK ON THE FRONT FROM GEORGE'S ELBOW DOWN TO THE FIRST 'PLEASE' SOME LIGHT EDGE CREASING AND SMALL CORNER BUMPS ,THE SPINE IS UNCRUSHED AND THE OPENING EDGE IS SIMILARILY NOT HEAVILY WORN
RECORD SLEEVE REAR DOES HAVE SOME CREASING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM FOLDOVER SEAMS ABOUT HALFWAY ALONG EACH SEAM FROM THE OPENING EDGE ,ALL THE TEXT IS LEGIBLE ON THE REAR ,THERE IS A SMALL 5p SIZED STAIN TOWARDS THE BOTTOM EDGE AND A NAME AND ADDRESS WHICH I HAVE COVERED UP FOR PHOTOGRAPHY TO PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS IDENTITY ( ITS ACTUALLY WRITTEN IN BEAUTIFUL SCRIPT ) SUPPOSE IT COULD BE CALLED PATINA ? IT WAS SOMETHING A LOT OF OWNERS DID IN THE SIXTIES
THE EMITEX INNER APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL AND HAS SOME VERY LIGHT FOXING AND CORNER CREASES THROUGH HANDLING
THE VINYL RECORD LIES FLAT BUT DOES HAVE HANDLING AND OTHER LIGHT MARKS TO THE SURFACES ON BOTH SIDES SIDE 1 TRACKS "I SAW HERE STANDING THERE" & "MISERY" DO HAVE A JUST FEELABLE MARK AT THE END OF ONE TRACK AND THE BEGINNING OF THE OTHER BUT "I SAW HER STANDING THERE" PLAYS THROUGH JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT POP TOWARDS THE END "MISERY" ALSO PLAYS THROUGH AGAIN WITH THE ODD LIGHT POP THE REST OF THE RECORD ALTHOUGH HAVING SURFACE MARKS SEEMS TO PLAY THROUGH
THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND LEGIBLE BUT THERE IS SOME LIGHT PAPER LOSS AROUND THE CENTREHOLE TO EITHER SIDE
WE PLAYTEST FOR REVIEW ON A SIXTIES HI-FI SYSTEM SO WE CAN ONLY REPORT WHAT WE HEAR PLEASE REMEMBER OTHER SYSTEMS CAN GIVE A DIFFERENT RESPONSE WHEN PLAYED AND THIS RECORDING AS MENTIONED EARLIER IS NOW OVER SIXTY YEARS OLD
INCASE YOU HAVE MISSED THE POSTAL CHARGES ,PLEASE NOTE WE USE EBAY'S GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME FOR BUYERS FROM ABROAD FOR YOUR SAFETY AND OURS ,THIS WILL INCLUDE EBAY'S OWN SHIPPING COSTS AND ANY TAXES OR VAT INCURRED
