Description
THE WALKER BROTHERS "Take It Easy with.." RARE *STEREO*
1965 UK PHILIPS 1st PRESS in a *STEREO* SLEEVE M- AUDIO
THE WALKER BROTHERS
Take It Easy with The Walker Brothers
ORIGINAL UK PHILIPS (SBL 7691) FIRST *STEREO* PRESSING (December 1965) OF THE WALKER BROTHERS' DEBUT LP, "Take It Easy with The Walker Brothers" IN STUNNING, POSSIBLY COMPLETELY UNPLAYED CONDITION (the labels have no spindle wear and the vinyl surfaces shine like new) AND IT DELIVERS SENSATIONAL PRISTINE CRISP, BRIGHT AND FRESH AUDIO THROUGHOUT WITH DETAILED STEREO SEPARATION - FANTASTIC COPY
THIS IS THE INCREDIBLY RARE STEREO VERSION (very few of these were pressed) HOUSED IN A STEREO MARKED SLEEVE (I have seen other Stereo copies of this LP before (but not many) this is however, the first time I have seen one in a dedicated Stereo sleeve with a small *STEREO* in the top right hand corner on the front of the cover)
PRESSED ON QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH THE FIRST ISSUE BLACK/SILVER PHILIPS LABELS
FIRST PRESS *STEREO* MATRICES : 843495 1Y * 2 420 1 2 1 / 843495 2Y * 2 420 3
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL THICK CARD, FRONT LAMINATED (and DEEPLY GLOSSY) SLEEVE WITH SMALL 'STEREO' INDICATION
AND COMES COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL WHITE DIE-CUT, POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE WITH 'MADE IN ENGLAND', BRITISH PATENT NUMBER AND 'BRITISH & OTHER PATENTS PENDING' PRINTED IN PURPLE
Track Listing:
Side 1: Make It Easy On Yourself / There Goes My Baby / First Love Never Dies / Dancing In The Street / Lonely Winds / The Girl I Lost In The Rain
Side 2: Land Of 1,000 Dances / You're All Around Me / Love Minus Zero / I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore / Here Comes The Night / Tell The Truth
LABELS: The labels are clean and unmarked with no evident spindle traces - this copy has seen little, if any play - MINT
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces retain their original deep, like-new, glossy sheen and are practically unmarked - NEAR MINT
VINYL Audio: Sensational sound reproduction throughout - crystal clear, clean, crisp, sharp and vibrant - incredibly strong and fresh and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing) there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps, no surface noise and no clicks or pops. The run-ins and track divisions are practically silent, the sound quality is simply sensational and the whole LP plays to just about the highest possible standard with all frequencies bright and clear with no discernible groove-wear or distortion (it's possibly completely unplayed). Critically graded MINT(-) for audio this is a fantastic copy, very rare in this Stereo format and very, very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: The original front laminated sleeve, printed on thick card is also in beautiful condition. The front laminated surface is clean and unmarked with a deep, glass-like gloss and only a touch of rubbing and light record impression and the edges and spine are crisp and square with practically no wear to speak of (just some light corner bumping). The unlaminated back is remarkably clean and unmarked - wonderful example - EXCELLENT+
