THE SEARCHERS - ‘IT’S THE SEARCHERS’

This strong EXCELLENT copy of their 3rd album is a UK 1st mono pressing dating from initial 1964 release.

It is the vivid pink & black Pye Records label: NPL 18092

Matrix numbers: NN 18092 A-1M & NN 18092 B-1M

Disc weight: 185g

Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover, complete with its original pink & black Pye advertising inner-sleeve.

CONDITION

Disc

Labels: EXCELLENT

A superb clean & bright with just a small number of faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.

Visual: EXCELLENT

Unworn deep-gloss playing surfaces which retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shine with just a few light surface marks, but nothing I would call a scratch. This massively heavy copy also lies 100% flat on the turntable when playing.

Play: EXCELLENT +

This copy has received just a few careful plays on good equipment and there is no significant deterioration to the sound quality throughout. In fact, apart from a hint of low-level vinyl background here and there, there is little to fault and much more to enjoy.

Cover: EXCELLENT

A well-preserved example which retains a pristine, unscratched high-gloss front laminate where just a single 'thumbnails' and a few small spine wrinkles prevent a higher grade.

The rear panel is clean & bright with the date of purchase and a small stain towards the opening edges being the only major blemishes. All flipbacks & seams which are both are smooth and unstressed. The fully worded spine is fully laminated and undamaged.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
