WISHBONE ASH ARGUS
THIS IS A GENUINE UK 1ST PRESS WITH THE BLUE BLACK AND WHITE MCA HEXAGON LABEL !!!!
WISHBONE ASH LABELS ARE A NIGHTMARE AS THEY USED LOTS OF DIFFERENT LABELS ON DIFFERENT PRESSINGS, AND A LOT OF SELLERS TRY TO PASS OFF OTHER LABELS AS FIRST PRESS, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS IS A GENUINE UK 1ST PRESS !!!!
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER !!!!


THIS IS THE AWESOME 3rd ALBUM FROM WISHBONE ASH WHO WERE FORMED IN TORQUAY IN ENGLAND IN 1969. NOW ALTHOUGH IT HAS 1971 ON THE LABELS, IT WAS NOT RELEASED UNTIL APRIL 1972, AND HAS 1972 ON THE COVER !!!! THIS IS FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND THERE IS A SMALL SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARK THAT CAUSES 16 FAINT TICKS, BUT ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW !!!!

BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED.

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 :: 7-LNMG-256-2L  ::  7-LNMG-257-2L .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH VERY EARLY STAMPERS  ::  1  C  ::  1  C .
ON THE 1ST PRESS BLACK BLUE AND WHITE HEXAGON LABEL :: MDKS 8006 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS PRINTED AND MADE IN ENGLAND BY ROBERT STACE. FOR SOME REASON THESE COVERS ALWAYS SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF WEAR, BUT THIS ONE HAS SURVIVED RATHER WELL, AND HAS LOVELY EDGES AND SPINE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF BITS OF FAINT RUB ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. THERE IS SOME LIGHT SURFACE WEAR ALONG THE BOTTOM ON THE FRONT, AND ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES INSIDE THE GATEFOLD. NOW THIS IS ONLY LIGHT AND NOT FEELABLE IN ANY WAY, BUT IS VISABLE MORE THAN FEELABLE. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I THINK IT IS BETTER THAN VERY GOOD PLUS, SO I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+/EX- .

VINYL :: PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS !!!  THERE ARE SOME TICKS BUT NOTHING TERRIBLE, AND TO GIVE YOU THE BEST DESCRIPTION I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION.

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: THERE IS A TINY BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY START. A LITTLE WAY INTO THE TRACK THERE ARE 16 LIGHT TICKS WHICH ARE CAUSED BY A SMALL SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARK. THERE ARE ALSO FOUR FAINT FAINT TICKS AT THE END .

TRACK 2 :: JUST THREE FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 2 :: TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 3 :: A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 4 ::  A LIGHT POP IN THE MIDDLE .

OF COURSE WHAT IS NOT MRNTIONED PLAYS SUPERB. THERE IS NO STATIC OR CRACKLE.

NOW VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, AND WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THERE ARE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME VARIOUS SIZED COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND THAT SMALL SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARK ON TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1. NOW THE AUDIO IS DIFFICULT DUE TO TRACK 1, SO I WILL SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE .

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 ::  I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: VG .

THE REST OF SIDE 1 AND ALL OF SIDE 2 ::  I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX/EX+ . 

LABELS :: JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER :: WITH NO WRITING OR SPLITS :: VG+/EX- .

BRILLIANT 1970's CLASSIC ROCK ALBUM, AND GETTING HARDER TO FIND ESPECIALLY AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS. PLAYS WELL WITH JUST THOSE LIGHT TICKS ON TRACK 1 OF ANY NOTE !!!! VERY NICE SOLID ORIGINAL COVER AND INNER !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
