DESCRIPTION: Deep Purple LP- Machine Head. Early UK press complete with A1U/B3 matrix , "EMI" label text and fold-ot poster insert. Laminated gatefold sleeve and EMI inner.It was kept in a heavy-duty PVC sleeve for many years. I will send the sleeve with the record.  Packed this weighs over 600gm so overseas postage is as for a double. 
LABEL AND CATALOGUE NUMBER: Purple/EMI TPSA 7504 
YEAR OF RELEASE: 1970s 
COUNTRY OF RELEASE: UK CONDITION (VINYL/COVER): NM/EX+. Vinyl is super clean with a deep dark sheen. I cant see any sign that this has been played previously. Played passages of both sides today on my budget deck. Sits flat on the turntable. Sounds pretty immaculate. Clean , clear, vibrant  and loud. Cover is in absolutely top shape.  It is firm and square and has negligible edgewear,  minimal cornerwear and minimal creasing (One crease to front of sleeve, bottom right hand corner is all that prevents NM grade). Insert is NM, no sign that it has ever left the sleeve. Inner is better than EX with minimal wear. Immaculately clean labels. No writing, rips, stickers or sticker tears.

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER PSYCH/PROGRESSIVE/CLASSIC/HARD ROCK LISTINGS IN MY EBAY SHOP. Grading system: I use UK’s “Record Collector” Grading system. I DO PLAY EVERY RECORD I LIST NOW even though its often just quite briefly. Please bear in mind you may get a touch of background sound, even if its just on intros and between the tracks on 40-50 year old vinyl records!! :: MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface mark or deterioration in the sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in the sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover, or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. I will at times use a + or - to indicate when a record falls between the grades.
