THE PRETTY THINGS
" THE PRETTY THINGS " Mono First Pressing
Released in the UK in 1965 on FONTANA RECORDS,
Catalogue number TL 5239
The LABELS are in excellent condition with just the usual spindle trails around the hole, visible on these matt finish FONTANA labels in angled light.
The MATRIX numbers are; Side One 687341 1 L // 1 v 420 , Side Two 687341 2 L // 1 v 420 , indicating that this is one of the original MONO FIRST PRESSINGS, renowned for superior audio quality (and justifiably so !).
VINYL
The VINYL is in NEAR MINT condition with a beautiful sheen and a few very light paper sleeve scuffs.
I have just play checked this LP and the sound is MAGNIFICENT, DYNAMIC and FULL as you always get with these early MONO pressings, a rich punchy bass to balance the frantic R'n'B guitars and crisp drumming ! Side One play grades MINT on my system; Garrard 401 turntable with SME 3009 arm, Shure V-15 type III Cartridge going thru a Leak Varislope Pre-amp and Leak Stereo 50 Valve Amp then out of a pair of B & W DM 640 Speakers. BLISS !!! Side Two also play grades MINT, no clicks, pops, jumps or skips, SUPERB, this is proper R'n'B from the days when R'n'B meant REAL 'RHYTHM AND BLUES' !!!
SLEEVE
The front LAMINATED SLEEVE has a few small creases and one more noticeable crease top left where some of the laminate has begun to lift, although the spine itself is straight and firm with very little shelf wear (see photo). The unlaminated back cover has some age discolouration. There is no noticeable shelf wear to the edges, just a bit on the opening edge corners. Unfortunately a previous owner has written her name and the date on the top of the rear sleeve, because of this the sleeve gets a VG grading. LP comes in it's ORIGINAL poly lined INNER SLEEVE, also in EXCELLENT condition, with a little age discolouration, and the usual corner creasing that came with the initial factory packing.
