TRAFFIC Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory 1973 UK 1st PRESS MINT- AUDIO

DIAGONAL CUT Robor COVER & UNSPLIT INNER, ONCE PLAYED

TRAFFIC
Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory

ORIGINAL UK ISLAND (ILPS 9224) FIRST PRESSING (February 1973) OF TRAFFIC'S "Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory"
ONE OF THEIR POOREST SELLING RECORDS, WHICH DIDN'T EVEN CHART IN THE UK
IN BEAUTIFUL ONCE PLAYED CONDITION - FANTASTIC COPY

PRESSED ON QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL
MATRIX: ILPS 9224 A - 3U / ILPS 9224 B- 3U (with "STERLING" stamped on both run-offs) - the lowest matrix set for this first pressing
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/GR and 2/O
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FULLY LAMINATED (deeply, deeply glossy) DIAGONAL CUT SLEEVE "Printed and made by Robor Ltd."
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL DIAGONAL CUT INNER SLEEVE (which has two rear flipbacks)

Side 1: Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory / Roll Right Stones
Side 2: Evening Blue / Tragic Magic / (Sometimes I Feel So) Uninspired

LABELS: MINT-
Clean, bright and factory-fresh labels with one light spindle trace on one side, none on the other.
The spindle hole is still tight - I would say this copy has only ever been on a turntable once
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen and appear completely unmarked in normal light with just wispy hairlines under bright light
VINYL Audio: MINT-
My play-check at loud volume revealed no real audio issues - the sound performance is crystal clear, clean, sharp and bright and the record plays pretty much flawlessly throughout - in keeping with it's once played status.
I did notice just one tiny 'pop' on Side Two but this is the only (impossibly minor) 'flaw' and the only thing preventing a full MINT audio grading. This is a really exceptional copy and I guarantee a better one would be hard to find - certainly the finest I have ever seen
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Again, superb and practically untouched with a deep, deep glossy sheen to the laminated front and back surfaces and crisp, square and straight edges and spine which display hardly any wear at all
INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Crisp, clean. white and factory-fresh with no seam splits (looks brand new!). There is a small spot next to the Island i on the flipback side but this is a manufacturing press mark
