Description
YOU DO NOT NEED ME TO TELL YOU THAT THIS 1968 UK VERY FIRST PRESSING ON THE ORANGE WARNER BROS. LABEL IS VERY SCARCE INDEED. RECORD WS 1768 WITH A-2 & B-2 MATRICES. SIDE A HAS 'In The Beginning' Label credit & SIDE B has 'Afterwards' credit. THE INCREDIBLY THICK VINYL IS IN NEARLY EXCELLENT CONDITION BOTH SIDES. THERE ARE A FEW BUT NOT MANY AT ALL FEINT SURFACE MARKS WHEN VIEWED CAREFULLY IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT. THESE ARE SURFACE ONLY & VERY LIGHT. THEY HAVE NO AUDIBLE EFFECT ON THE SUPERB STEREO SOUND REPRODUCTION WHICH YOU ONLY REALLY GET WITH THESE VERY FIRST UK PRESSINGS. THESE FIRST VINYL PRESSINGS ARE REALLY THICK & CHUNKY, VERY DEEPLY GROOVED. THE LAMINATED COVER (Garrod & Lofthouse Patent No. 943,895) is VG to VG+. SOME LAMINATE CREASES, CORNER BUMPING & GRUBBY AGEING STAINING ON THE WHITE UNLAMINATED BACK. THE SPINE IS FINE.
