Earliest Possible
1st Pressing Matrix Numbers
Features.......
- A1/B1 1st pressing matrix numbers - considered to be a superior mix than later releases and incredibly rare.
- A8/A15 Stampers in run-out grooves
- The gatefold cover is matt 'textured' inside and outside.
- Indented red/green Atlantic labels.
- There is the 'witch' symbol in the bottom right corner of the rear cover.
- Green lyric inner sleeve with outer flip backs at the top and bottom of the rear.
- The labels do not have the Warner Brothers name or logo - later pressings do.
Cover: Textured 1st pressing gatefold cover. These are incredibly fragile covers and most have sticker marks or other disfiguring 'wear' faults. However, this one has been very well cared for and rates as Excellent+. Light wear to edges and spine - see photos.
Lyric insert: These lyric inserts are very fragile. Most you see have tears and seam splits. This one is in Excellent condition with some age spots and minor wear - see photos.
Vinyl: Play tested. Looks and plays Near Excellent. Nice sheen. No skips/jumps on my system. Plays with some light crackle at the beginning and just occasionally in the quieter parts. Lightly played and well cared for. A 40 year old piece of vinyl that still has many years worth of play from it.
Labels: Mint.
'SIGNED FOR' POSTAGE:
£4.50 (UK) £11 (EUROPE) & £15 (REST OF THE WORLD)
Gradings.......
Mint - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
Excellent - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
Very Good - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise, it may even jump.
Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc
Bad - The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
