The MATRIX numbers are; Side One, 228 029 A v 1 , Side Two, 228 029 B v 1 indicating that this is one of the original FIRST PRESSINGS, renowned for superior audio quality.
VINYL
The VINYL is in near MINT condition with a beautiful sheen and NO noticeable marks, scuffs or scratches.
I have just play checked this LP and the sound is MAGNIFICENT and POWERFUL, as is the norm with these early pressings. Side One play grades MINT on my system; Garrard 401 turntable with SME 3009 arm, Shure V-15 type III Cartridge going thru a Leak Varislope Pre-amp and Leak Stereo 50 Valve Amp then out of a pair of B & W DM 640 Speakers. From the opening chords of "Need Love" the term HEAVY ROCK springs to mind and stays in mind. This album needs to be played LOUD and there is no better format nor issue than this !!! Side Two also play grades MINT, no clicks, pops or skips, SUPERB, this REALLY is in great condition !!! So good, that I imagine that it will be a long time before one as good as this becomes available again, if at all !!!
SLEEVE
The LAMINATED SLEEVE has a few small creases. The spine itself is straight and firm and like the edges has no shelf wear (see photo). The opening edges are nice and sharp with no feathering, there is a small "ding" to the lower left corner only, justifying an EXCELLENT grading (see photo). LP comes in it's ORIGINAL poly lined INNER SLEEVE, also in EXCELLENT condition, with a little age discolouration, and a few light creases.
