An original and genuine very 1st press of GOLD RUSH on UK Reprise. Matrix A1/B1. Take care with this title - there are a number of things you need to check for on a true 1st press. Let's start with the vinyl - 1st pressings are much heavier pressed [noticeably]. Those tan labels should NOT mention 'Made In UK' - those copies are from '72. They should NOT mention the new K pre-fix cataloguing that was introduced in '72. The original 1970 catalogue number for this title is 'R6383'. You should find this on the labels and on the front of the gatefold cover, and in the interior. ANY mention of the K prefix ANYWHERE means you don't have an original copy. Check your copy - does it say 'printed '72' at the foot of the rear? Well, It's not 1st then. We have an original inner sleeve and the quality paper original lyric poster quoting original cat no 'R6383'. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex-/Vg+) In lovely condition and has only seen relatively light use. Under close inspection I could only make out a few slight marks per side - nothing heavy or troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly NEAREXCELLENT level of playback with deviation in a couple of tracks.. 'Gold Rush' is painfully fussy - trying to find a decent player is difficult. This example manages a pretty decent standard, but not capable of hitting the top grades. Expect a bit of background in a couple of the fussiest tracks. That would in particular be - Goldrush and Birds. Overall still a very decent player for the majority of the time.
Cover (Vg+) The front is looking smart with just slight surface wear at the foot. The rear looks good to with minimal wear. The interior is looking real nice. There's a fair bit of edge wear in places - no wear throughs. Opening panel is rigid. The spine exhibits a fair bit of wear - and text is still 80% legible. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Vg+) Light ageing. No splits.
Lyric Poster (Vg+) Lightest ageing.
