An original 1st issue of BFS on UK Parlophone. Matrix 3N/4N. So, its certainly worth going for a 1st issue as they were pressed heavy. Take a look at the label shots - particularly the 2nd one....you will see a satisfying bulge and that's the sign of a heavy pressing. Also note the perimeter text reads 'Parlophone' and 'recording 1st published' - this is indicative of a winter 1964 copy - whilst the record was charting. The vinyl comes housed in an original mono gatefold. We also have the original Emitex inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex) A lovely copy that has only seen relatively light use [expect a few spindle marks]. There are a couple of light marks both sides - but absolutely nothing that will get remotely close to that precious audio. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, EXCELLENT level of playback. Lovely quiet intros and inbetweens and the audio comes across with superb clarity. Really superb audio integrity. Yes, it's an early copy that will be helping. And yes it is heavy pressed by EMI. But ultimately what takes this copy up to the top-level is it has only seen light use. It's got a very delicate adept delivery - with hardly a whiff of background. Maybe a couple of crackles in a couple of spots per side - now that is an excellent strike rate on this title. Moonlight and Sun on side 1 are very tricky low-key tracks. They will play with a bit of background on most copies - but not here! The tracks play clean as a whistle - which is quite unusual. If you're looking for best audio - don't let this one drift out of your hands!
Cover (Vg+) A really difficult one to source in decent condition due to the way it was designed. But this example is in rather rude health. That front opening panel is usually knackered - but it's looking very crisp and clean. There's a couple of creases over toward the right. Ditto the rear - much better than usual with little creasing. The interior is looking real nice. Edge wear is relatively light for this title. A few stress creases [nothing bad though]. All text on the spine is still legible. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Ex-) Lightest ageing. No splits. One sticker on the rear.
