Description

An original 1st stereo press of Aftermath on the Decca label from 1966. Matrix 2W/1W - very 1st cut. Stampers 1H/1-BC. Please note that the labels are perfectly consistent with very 1st press and still exhibit the Decca deep-groove. Also, bear in mind that the stereo format is yet to overtake mono in 1966 and so mono 1st press is much easier to track down. The heavy set vinyl comes housed in an original Robert Stace printed 'stereo' cover. Also included is a Blue and white stereo Decca inner sleeve from the time - not the one it came in, but from a couple of years later.
Vinyl (Ex+) In absolutely stunning condition and has only seen the very lightest use. Under close inspection there are a couple of light marks either side - but nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are absolutely silent and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. I can quite easily place this copy straight in at no.1 for audio - I have never seen another copy look or sound quite this good. Aftermath is a very fussy record and I tend to find that I'm often left a little disappointed with many copies that surface. They often lack the clarity or have background interference which impairs the rendition. But on this copy - Wow! It's like being sat in the studio - absolute purity of sound and not a whisker of interference. FINAL UPGRADE. Perhaps a couple of crackles are audible in a couple of isolated moments.Never heard it sound quite this good before...
Cover (Ex/Ex+) Again, who ever owned this LP must have been one fastidious individual! The rear is often the problem area, but on this copy it has entirely avoided the ageing process. All we can make out is some very low-level handling wear. Edge wear is very slight for this title and the openings are almost sharp. The spine is 100% intact. And overall the cover retains perfect rigidity. Don't think I'll be witnessing one at this kind of level for a while! FINAL UPGRADE.
Inner (Ex) No splits. No markings. No ageing.
