Description

An original Mono 1st press of Pepper on the UK Parophone label. Matrix 1/1 - same as 1st cut. Really nice heavy-set pressing..nothing flimsy about this copy! The vinyl comes housed in an original gatefold cover with the flipbacks exposed in the interior. PLEASE NOTE - on the flipbacks there's the 'Fourth Proof' text identifying the very last proofing copies for what would be the FINAL design for ALL 60's original Pepper covers. Also included is the original cut-outs and an original flame 'patent applied for' inner sleeve. If you need a top level rendition - then do take a closer look>>>>>> So, 100% complete and 100% genuine.
Vinyl (Ex+) In superb condition and has only seen very light careful use. Under close inspection there are a couple of very minor superficial marks - nothing remotely troublesome or that would even vaguely enter the audio spectrum. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are VERY quiet and the audio comes across with superb clarity. This is without doubt one of the best renditions I've ever witnessed. This is unusual on a standard 1st press..but 4th proofs rarely appear in this top condition. Have a look at those label shots and the surface shots of the vinyl. I think the thing that sets this copy apart from nearly all original copies - is the sheer level of clarity. It is crystal clear reproduction. I'm picking out very very subtle instrumentation that I don't very often hear - or have perhaps never really noticed before. This is a sign of a very very little used LP. Which, let's face it, is quite unusual for a 60's Pepper. Interference is pretty much totally absent. And let's remember - Pepper, in places, is an incredibly fussy record. The cleaner you can go the better with this release - you'll hear everything possible in the mix. Even those tricky tracks like WI64, WIYWOY, and She's Leaving Home..all play supremely well and with quiet background. There are one or two very low-level level crackles in 'SLH' - but this copy is way cleaner than 90% of well preserved copies. WI64 & WIYWOY are like - "Wow".. absolutely off the scale for clarity and lack of background. So, this is a real keeper/players copy...look after it and it will deliver a fantastic rendition every time. Other than that expect nothing more than a couple of crackles in a couple of isolated spots per side. Yes, it really is that good! You will never better the audio on this copy - "period". FINAL UPGRADE...no sweat.
Cover (Ex) In lovely shape with a colourful shiny front and rear. Very little creasing evident - just very low-level handling. The interior is immaculate with very well preserved flipbacks - Sweet! Edge wear is very limited and the openings are still sharp. The spine is pretty much spot on with very little wear and all text legible. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity. A copy that would not be easily bettered!
Inner (Ex-) Light ageing and a one inch bottom edge split. Record shop stamp on one side. Purchased in Tottenham, London!
Cut-outs (Ex) Very nice. One slightest creases in one corner.
