An original 1st press of FIREBALL on UK Harvest. Matrix 3U/2U. Etchings Pek. Gramophone text. You're into near-master copies...this is where you need to be looking for amazing audio. Lovely heavy pressing as you find on the earliest copies. Note the label mentions the track ANYONES DAUGHTER - without apostrophe [which is technically incorrect]. The vinyl comes housed in a TRUE 1st issue cover textured inside and out. We have the Harvest inner and the lyric insert too. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete. Will ship in an anti-static inner.
For me...this is Purple at the height of their powers>>> Making amazing music at this point was EASY... you can hear it. They are so proficient at their art..it just F_L_O_W_S>>> I defy anyone not to be rather darn well impressed with this record! Even the throwaway Dylan ditty - you still can't help loving....For a hard rock album..it is funky as hell. Lyrically and Musically - this is the high tide mark.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) A superb looking copy and has only seen lightest use. Super preservation. A couple of faintest marks per side,  - NOTHING that would remotely trouble this really heavy pressing. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ of playback with one slight deviation. If you are a fussy so and so and only want the BEST the market has to offer...might be worth considering this copy. Super clarity and excellent reproduction ...it's all there. Hear deep into the mix. A beautiful player by any measure. Do you want to miss out on such a fine player..? Even into the fussiest moments of 'Fools'. I couldn't really make out any background. A couple of minor crackles very occasionally & two isolated ticks in FOOLS... literally that was it. The quiet sectors are just superb - rarely do you get this clean feed - consistently. Highly recommended. Listen to Richie wrestle with his Strat at the end of Fools..epic!
Cover (Vg+) A massive pain in the back side to find the true 1st copies in great condition. This one is in pretty decent condition - better than what often surfaces. Bit of surface wear on the rear - not too bad though. Some edge wear, but it has been sharpied in and - to be fair - looks pretty tidy. The interior looks good without issue. There's wear on the spine but it is in respectable condition. Overall the cover still retains excellent rigidity.
Insert (Ex) Not much sign of ageing..
Inner (Vg+) Some ageing. Bag present. No splits.
