THROUGH THE PAST, 

DARKLY

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS :: P-1W  ::  P-2W .

ON THE DECCA LABEL :: SKL.5019 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL 8 SIDED FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED GATEFOLD PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE INTERNATIONAL Ltd :: A CRAZY DELICATE COVER A BIT LIKE THE 'OGDENS SMALL FACES COVER', AND HARD TO FIND A SOLID ONE. MIND YOU THIS IS SOLID ONLY BY THE HELP OF CELLO TAPE AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE SPINE ON THE PHOTO. THE LAMINATE IS VERY NICE WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES . THERE IS SOME LIGHT RUB IN A FEW PLACES ON THE 8 EDGES ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO FOR VISUAL DESCRIPTION ) STILL A VERY PRESENTABLE COVER, BUT DUE TO THE SPINE REPAIR, I WILL HAVE TO GRADE THIS ORIGINAL AS :: VG .

VINYL :: VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW OF THE USUAL SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND A FEW FINE HAIRLINES. THERE IS A SLIGHTLY MORE NOTICEABLE THIN SCUFF LINE ON THE FIRST TRACK AND HALF WAY THROUGH THE SECOND TRACK ON SIDE 1, AND LIKE THE REST MENTIONED ABOVE IT IS TOTALLY COSMETIC, AND WHEN THE VINYL IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED DISAPPEAR SHOWING THAT THERE ARE NO NASTY MARKS OR SCRATCHES SO NO AUDIO PROBLEMS. 

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 PLAYS NO ISSUES .

TRACK 2 HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT BACKGROUND TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 3 HAS ONLY A FEW LIGHT TICKS AT THE START ON THE QUIET INTRO .

TRACK 4 HAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 5 HAS A LIGHT BIT OF STATIC IN THE MIDDLE. 

TRACK 6 PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES .

SIDE 2 :: PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH NO ISSUES .

AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS NOT A LOT WRONG WITH THE AUDIO AND SIDE 2 PLAYS BETTER THAN SIDE 1. THERE IS NOTHING OVER THE AUDIO AND NOTHING TO SPOIL YOUR LISTENING. AS SIDE 2 IS BETTER, I WILL GRADE OVER ALL AUDIO :: VG+/EX- .

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN WITH SOME LIGHT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT ::  EX . 

ORIGINAL 8 SIDED INNER :: THERE IS A NAME AND THE TITLE OF THE ALBUM WRITTEN SMALL ON BOTH SIDES AND SOME LIGHT CREASING :: VG .

AN ALBUM OFTEN OVERLOOKED AS IT IS THOUGHT TO BE A BORING OLD COMPILATION ALBUM. BUT THERE ARE NO BORING STONES TRACKS, AND THERE ARE SOME CORKERS ON HERE !!! VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETICS, BUT NOTHING TO SPOIL THIS SUPER ALBUM, SO NOTHING INTRUSIVE OR OVER THE AUDIO !!!  THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
