An original 1st press of Argus on the UK MCA label. Matrix 1L/1L - very 1st cut. Stampers 1I/1A - placing it amongst the first few thousand copies ever pressed. The heavy set vinyl comes housed in an original gatefold cover. Also included is an original Decca styled inner sleeve from the time. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) Wow, a very nice looking copy that has seen light use. Under close inspection do expect a few very light/superficial marks - nothing remotely troublesome. After hearing several copies I've never really heard one that completely nailed Argus....until I gave this a copy a whirl! It's the combination of an early pressing and a well preserved copy - the combination seems to deliver another level of audio performance. Anyone familiar with this title will be aware that there are quiet segments and slow-build moments. You really need a well preserved copy to do it any sort of justice. And this is THAT copy.... lovely clean audio from the outset and it does a fantastic job of resolving all those complex passages. Interference is very minor and infrequent. All I could really detect were a few crackles in the super-quiet opening on side 2 which subsides quickly, and then nothing more than a couple of other crackles in a couple of isolated spots. A real beaut and a rendition that will leave you begging for more.
Cover (Ex) Again, anyone familiar with this title will know it is very difficult tracking down a well preserved original cover.  But this particular example acquits itself admirably. Lovely clean front and rear without the usual heavy creasing or wear. All I can spot is a couple of light thumbnail creases on the front and nothing else remotely unsightly. The interior looks great with only minor handling. Edge wear is very light for this title. The spine is looking great - way way better than what usually surfaces - with all text still legible. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Vg+) A bit of ageing in places. No splits.
