A Stereo 1st press on UK Columbia from Xmas 1969. Matrix 1/2. Stampers 1M/1GR [excellent audio provenance]. Note the labels exhibit just one EMI box at the foot - this is as you would expect it at 1st pressing November '69. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original stereo cover with exposed flipbacks. And a generic white inner from the time.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex-) In really nice condition and has only seen reasonably light use. I can make out a few bag-rash superficial type markings, and a couple of other light marks per side - but seemingly nothing heavy or troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT level of playback with one deviation. Intros and inbetweens are lovely and quiet and the audio comes across with great clarity. By and large a really clean player with some fantastic energy. One solitary click in 'Mill Valley'....which otherwise plays pretty clean given it is a piano driven number. Beck is absolutely ripping it in parts here. Plynth -- sounds amazing. A super 60's title - not to be missed..<<<
Cover (Vg+) A massive pain in the derriere to find in decent condition. The original copies have large sections in white with no lamination to protect the papery surface. Consequently nearly all copies will exhibit ageing. The task is to try and find something which is presentable and doesn't look too affected. This example is just exhibiting a touch of foxing up in the section atop the front - but there is otherwise precious little surface wear. It looks smart. On the rear expect a bit more foxing in evidence - nothing really standout [But it is there all the same]. Number '39' written top right. Flipbacks are in excellent order. Minimal edge wear and sharp openings. The spine is 100% intact with no ageing - that has got to be unusual. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Vg+) Light ageing. No splits.
