ORIGINAL UK MCA (MDKS 8004) FIRST PRESS OF WISHBONE ASH'S 2nd LP.
PRESSED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH THE 1ST ISSUE MCA DOG BONE LABELS. THESE LABELS WERE FOUND IN SEVERAL OTHER COLOUR COMBINATIONS BUT THESE ORANGE / MAGENTA COPIES ARE THE HARDEST TO FIND AND CONSIDERED THE TRUE FIRST LABELS FOR THIS LP. "MADE IN ENGLAND, THE DECCA RECORD CO LTD" TEXT UNDER THE MCA ARROW ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LABELS. CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH NO MARKS OR WRITING, JUST A FEW SPINDLE TRAILS ON EACH SIDE. FIRST ISSUE MATRIX 7-LNMG-244-2L / 7-LNMG-245-1L. WITH JT TAX CODE ETCHED IN BOTH RUN OFFS.
ORIGINAL MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE "PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY ROBERT STACE" WITH FIRST PRESSING WIDE SPINE. THESE UNLAMINATED COVERS ARE QUITE FRAGILE AND ARE USUALLY HEAVILY WORN . THIS ONE IS AN EXCEPTION, A MILD CREASE ACROSS THE FRONT TOP RIGHT CORNER, THE SPINE IS FULLY INTACT , ALL TEXT PRESENT WITH SLIGHT SHELF WEAR AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM. THERE IS A LITTLE FEATHERING & WAVING TO THE OPENING EDGES OF THE GATEFOLD POCKETS BUT NO SIGNIFICANT DEFECTS TO REPORT. COVER GRADED CONSERVATIVELY AS VG+.
THE VINYL RETAINS MUCH OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN, SOME SLEEVE REMOVAL MARKS ON CLOSE INSPECTION. A FEW VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL HANDLING MARKS ARE EVIDENT. A CAREFULLY PLAYED AND WELL LOOKED AFTER RECORD. FAULTLESS PLAYBACK, SILENT INTROS. SOME BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC CAN BE HEARD BETWEEN TRACKS, THE VERY OCCASIONAL DUST POP IS ALL I DETECTED. VINYL IS GRADED : VISUAL - EX , AUDIO EX TO EX+.
SO, AN EXCELLENT GENUINE FIRST PRESSING OF THIS COLLECTABLE UK PROG ROCK ALBUM.
