DEEP PURPLE

FIREBALL LP

UNPLAYED 1971 UK HARVEST LP SHVL 793 STUNNING DARKER TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' LABEL TEXT NO 'MADE IN GT. BRITAIN' LABEL TEXT
WE HAVE JUST PURCHASED A SMALL COLLECTION OF 1970'S ALBUMS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN PLAYED. MOST WERE BOUGHT ON THE DAY OF RELEASE BY THE FORMER OWNER, AND THEN STORED AWAY IN THEIR ORIGINAL SHOP BAGS (FLAT, IN A BOX).
HERE'S THE SECOND ONE FROM THE COLLECTION. SUPERB COPY - WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND AGAIN LIKE THIS.

VINYL

UNPLAYED, SUPERB. MOST WOULD GRADE THIS AS MINT, BUT I'LL GO SAFE, AS ALWAYS, WITH A STRONG NM. PLAY-TESTED - A STONE MINT PERFECT AUDIO ON MY LINN. THE VINYL IS BEAUTIFUL, WITH JUST THE VERY VERY FEINTIST OF STORAGE FROM THE PAPER INNER. HARDLY WORTH MENTIONING, BUT SHORT OF HARVEST PUTTING IT IN A POLY-LINED INNER, AND IT STILL BEING SEALED, THIS COPY IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT GETS. A WONDERFUL FINAL UPGRADE.

WE PLAY GRADE ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES. PLEASE SEE OUR 'GRADINGS EXPLAINED' SHOP PAGE FOR MORE INFO.

LABELS

MINT. AS YOU'D EXPECT, NOT A SINGLE SPINDLE TRACE.
SLEEVE

STUNNING EX++ BORDERING ON NM TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE, THAT AGAIN, MOST WOULD GRADE HIGHER. AS ALL PURPLE COLLECTORS KNOW, THIS IS ALMOST MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND IN THIS LOVELY CONDITION THAN THE VINYL ITSELF. THE TEXTURED CARD IS PRONE TO RING WEAR - THIS COPY HAS VIRTUALLY NONE. TRY AND FIND ANOTHER! THE TINIEST SHAPE OF THE RECORD ON THE BACK, SOME TINY LINES FRONT TOP FROM STORAGE, BUT THAT'S ABOUT AS NOTICEABLE AS IT GETS. THE COLOUR IS FAMOUSLY DARKER THAN SUBSEQUENT COPIES. MADE FROM ONE PIECE OF CARD, FOLDED AT THE BOTTOM, SEALED UNDERNEATH AT THE TOP. THERE IS THE TINIEST STORAGE TO CORNERS, AND (AGAIN SMALL) TO THE OPENING EDGE, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY MORE PROMINENT THAN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. TRIED TO BE AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE, IN REALITY - ONE OF THE BEST SLEEVES THAT YOU'LL FIND.
THE LOVELY PURPLE LYRIC SHEET HAS SOME SMALL STORAGE CREASING BOTTOM RIGHT FROM 'IMPERFECT' INSERTION INTO THE SLEEVE! ON ANY OF THE PHOTOS YOU CAN HOVER YOUR CURSOR OVER THE PHOTO TO SUPER-SIZE THEM.
SO THERE WE HAVE IT - A FINAL UPGRADE OF PURPLE'S CLASSIC 'FIREBALL'. PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON OUR LISTINGS FOR OTHER INCREDIBLE UNPLAYED FIRST PRESSES.
