Description
A genuine 1969 One-Box Emi copy of Pepper on the UK Parlophone label. Matrix 1/1. Please note One-Emi box copies, like this example were pressed during the autumn of 1969. The first batch of 'one-box' copies came housed in a stereo gatefold cover with 'patents pending'. The first batch copies are identifiable by the flipbacks which remain exposed in the interior - and also exhibit the colours red & blue just creeping over from the exterior. There are NO cut-outs, but the generic white inner with patent info is present.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) In lovely condition and has only seen light use. Under close inspection I could only make out a couple of very light marks per side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback with two slight deviations. Pepper really is quite a fussy record and only clean copies really are going to stand half a chance of doing the audio maximum justice. This copy is not perfect, but it's not that far from it either...Interference is both minor and infrequent. In fact, there was really only two tracks where I could detect anything much at all. And they are two of Pepper's most difficult tracks to find playing perfectly clean. WI64 + She's Leaving Home. Expect a few low level crackles in these two tracks. Nothing remotely invasive, or persistent -- they just won't play quite as damn clean as the rest of the LP. This '69 copy really does, by and large, offer a stellar rendition.
Cover (Ex/Ex+) Well, Pepper always did look like a visual feast, but on a well preserved high quality print that feast is all the more impressive. These '69 copies are quality from start to finish. Look at the front image...beautiful vivid colours - there's no ageing or dulling. The actual cover is constructed of very stiff card and retains perfect rigidity. All I can make out are a couple of thumbnail creases - which is stopping it getting a flat out top grade. The interior looks superb - no issues at all. The spine is relatively wide and has not deformed with all text perfectly legible. Edge wear is very light and the openings still sharp. Overall the cover lies totally flat and retains superb rigidity.
Inner (Ex) No ageing. No writing. No edge splits.
