The Vinyl:
EX-.
142g
Cleaned with Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record cleaner.
She carries just a few very light marks to either side-CERTAINLY nothing at all to make it skip or jump. I have just listened to all of her-as I do with all my vinyl I sell-and WOW...it sounds like the Stones at their raw best!
Barely any background noise-SUPERB QUALITY!....These albums, when first pressed, were made to a much higher standard than later pressings, making them able to take more abuse than normal...But this copy has had very little play over the last 56 years!!
EVEN THE FADE INS AND OUTS BETWEEN TRACKS ARE LOVELY AND QUIET.
She is lovely and flat-a real beauty to listen to and hear the start of something which would become huge!
VERY RARE TO FIND THIS PRESSING IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION WITH A GLORIOUS CLEAN AND CLEAR MONO OUTPUT
THE SONGS STILL SOUND DEEP, RICH AND FULL OF BODY!
The labels:
EX.
They are clear, with hard to see spindle marks, visible only when angled towards the light and looking for them. Barely any hole wear.
NO WRITING!!
Side 1 has the rarer "MONA" track credit for song 3-this was later changed to the correct "I Need You Baby" (however, DJ's back then still used to refer to the track as Mona).
UNBOXED DECCA-TRUE-1st PRESS
The Sleeve:
VG+
It remains intact and free from rips/tears or writing. There are some spidering areas to the laminate. No fading to the front picture-lovely and deep in colour. The back card is a little discoloured, but nothing terrible at all-please see the photo.
McNeill PRINTED COVER.
This is the VERY 1st PRINTING RUN OF THIS ICONIC COVER:
The first cover can be identified by the forth song that has the title “Mona”. The credit for Honest I Do is for Hurran and Calvert and one of the names for crediting Can I Get A Witness was wrongly spelt as well. They even left out the IF in You Can Make It If You Try....The mistakes are in BOLD RED below:
Side One
ROUTE 66 (Troup)
I JUST WANNA MAKE LOVE TO YOU (Dixon)
HONEST I DO (Hurran, Calvert)
MONA (McDaniels)
NOW I GOT A WITNESS (Like Uncle Gene and Uncle Phil) (Phelge)
LITTLE BY LITTLE (Phelge, Spector)
Side Two
I’M A KING BEE (Moore)
CAROL (Berry)
TELL ME (You’re Coming Back) (Jagger, Richards)
CAN I GET A WITNESS (E. & B. Holland, Bozier)
YOU CAN MAKE IT YOU TRY (Jarret)
WALKING THE DOG (Thomas)
Inner:
EX+!
ORIGINAL 1st DECCA Plastic lined STARRED inner "Made In England" & "Foreign Patents Pending."
Very, VERY nice indeed....Just some light creasing (don't we all ;?)
NO WRITING
ALL ORIGINAL
*SUPERB*
Certainly done her job in keeping the record very well preserved & just adds to that complete package.
All in all this is a VERY EARLY pressing, with 1/1 MOTHERS, 1ST PRESS LABELS AND 1ST PRESS COVER, WITH 1ST PRINTING INNER TOO!!
Not to mention it sounds great up loud too...An ALL ORIGINAL & ALL COMPLETE piece of history!
