Marketed by B&C Records both on label and sleeve, A1/B1 matrix,  large Mad Hatter labels, with the gatefold E&J Day Group textured sleeve, Red Charisma Inner sleeves and the PORKY PECKO etchings in the dead/wax lead-out grooves indicating that this 1st press was cut by George Peckham (aka Porky).

 

The vinyl is graded VISUALLY in excellent minus (side 1) and very good plus (side 2) condition. Please see below a description of grades and note that this vinyl is 52 years old that has been played and will not transform into anything different to the condition stated.

It has the PORKY PECKO edging. Porky is a lacquer-cutting and mastering engineer and has an illustrious career that includes work on the BEATLES, GENESIS AND LED ZEPPELIN catalogue amongst others. He has well helped on the engineering aspects and done special cuts for artistes like JOHN LENNON - AC DC – WINGS – JETHRO TULL – FREE – WHO – TEN YEARS AFTER – TRAFFIC - YES or KING CRIMSON.

The Gatefold TEXTURED sleeve is in  near mint minus condition with some corner wear.

  Visually-graded vinyl: A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and can help determine whether a record has been cared-for properly. A visual grading will not identify noise or crackle caused by non-visible sources. Most of the records I sell are between thirty and sixty years old and so it is likely that there may be some background noise even if they look perfect.

Play-grading MONO records: Mono records and stereo records have different grooves. A stereo record produces a stereo sound via both lateral and vertical groove modulation whereas a mono record is not intended to produce any sound from vertical modulation. Playing a mono record with a stereo cartridge will create distortion because it is trying to pick-up the vertical (stereo) part of the signal, whereas this is not intended to be heard on a mono record and so is just noise.  Using a pre-amp with a mono switch will eliminate the noise caused by vertical modulation leaving just the lateral groove signal which is how the record was intended to be heard. If you do not have a mono switch on your amp or pre-amp you will be reproducing the noise from the vertical part of the signal and so the record will not sound as good. This is not any fault of the record, it is inherent to playing any mono record through a system that it was not designed for.
