Description
This is a rare UK-first Stereo pressing of the greatest album in rock history. Black and yellow Parlophone label with "The Gramophone Co." along the perimeter and the inscription “Sold in the UK .....” below the logo. With KT code on side 1 Laminated gatefold envelope with the flap facing up on the inside. The red halftone "psychedelic" inner sleeve is in. But the single-sided green insert is lost. Condition. Record: The record sounds excellent, with great dynamics and a true analog tube-like character. There is some light surface noise audible in the gaps between tracks, so the condition is graded as VG+. Light hairlines have absolutely no effect on sound quality. Cover: The cover is graded VG+ despite the worn spine. Apart from that, it has no issues and looks excellent overall.
You can see everything in more detail in the photos.
It has never been in a smoky room. Very good gift for fans of the great band and collectors.
Important note!
This is a misprint — a rare copy. On side 1, there is an extra dot in the phrase "SOLD IN.U.K." (indicated with a red arrow in the photo).
Matrix: YEX 637-1 /YEX 738-1
Mothers/Stamper: Side1: GL 3 Side2: GM 2
These stampers indicate that the record was manufactured in the early stage of the pressing run — using only the 2nd and 3rd mothers, and the 7th/12th and 7th/13th stampers, which suggests a fairly early batch.
This may result in higher sound quality, as the stampers were still “fresh” and not worn out by mass production.
