DEEP PURPLE
MACHINE HEAD
SUPERB AUDIO ON THIS ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS, A-1U / B-1U, AND THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD RIM TEXT, AND NOT LATER EMI RECORDS RIM TEXT !!!!
   THIS IS DEEP PURPLE AND THEIR BRILLIANT 6th STUDIO ALBUM RELEASED IN MARCH 1972, AND I MUST ADMIT MY FAVOURITE DEEP PURPLE ALBUM. NOW I FORGOT I EVEN HAD ANY MORE OF THIS ALBUM LEFT. NOW THE AUDIO IS AMAZING, HOWEVER THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETICS, BUT PLEASE READ ON AND I WILL EXPLAIN ALL BELOW, THANK YOU !!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1972 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  A-1U  ::  B-1U.

ON THE PURPLE RECORDS LABEL :: TPSA 7504 .
HAS EARLIEST 1ST PRESS LABELS WITH, 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' RIM TEXT .
COVER  ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED GATEFOLD, '7204 TPS PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTD PATENT No 1224339' PRINTED ALONG THE BOTTOM ON THE BACK. NO LAMINATE LIFT BUT THERE ARE SOME LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES , AND A LAMINATE CREASE LINE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER ON THE FRONT. VERY NICE SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NOTHING TO REPORT, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE A VERY NICE :: EX/EX- . 

VINYL :: WOW LOVELY AUDIO !!!! THE VINYL VISUALLY LOOKS VERY NICE AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT WITH NOTHING SHOWING, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND QUITE A FEW COSMETIC HAIRLINES, WHICH JUST HAVE A VISUAL AFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND NOT AN AUDIO AFFECT. IF YOU DID NOT LOOK AT THE VINYL AND PLAYED IT YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THAT THEY WERE THERE. ALL I HEARD WAS TWO VERY FAINT TICKS AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2 ON THE VERY QUIET INTRO, AND NOTHING ELSE !!!! SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A VERY STRONG AND IN NO WAY OVER GRADED :: EX+ .  IF NOT A LITTLE BETTER !!!! 

LABELS :: NICE AND AND CLEAN WITH SOME FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX .  

  

POLYLINED INNER :: NO ISSUES, BUT NOT THE ORIGINAL AS IT IS DATED 79 :: EX/EX- .

PLAYS FANTASTIC, AND AS IT IS A FIRST PRESS THE SOUND QUALITY IS EVEN BETTER. THERE ARE THOSE COSMETICS AS MENTIONED ABOVE, BUT THEY REALLY ARE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AND AS I SAID, UNLESS YOU LOOKED AT THE VINYL BEFORE PLAYING IT, YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THEY WERE THERE !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!! ROSE.
