ORIGINAL 1971 PRESSING OF THE ALICE COOPER LP:

"LOVE IT TO DEATH"

CBS PRESSED STRAIGHT LABEL

STS 1065

A1/B1 MATRIXES.

WONDERFUL LABEL AND COVER!! HIGH QUALITY UK PRESSING!!

MOST THAT WERE SOLD IN 1971 WERE USA IMPORT PRESSINGS DUE TO THE UK STRIKES OF 1971! 

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE/ACURATE GRADED  1ST PRESSING WITH THE GATEFOLD  COVER-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

 A NEAR MINT CONDITION DISC IN A VERY NICE COVER.

JUST HOW MANY COPIES OF THIS LP DO YOU SEE WITHOUT SURFACE MARKS? YES! VIRTUALLY ALL OF THEM HAVE SIGNS AND SOUNDS OF REPEATED USE! 

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY AND INDEED  BEFORE IN MY SHOP SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

DUE TO A LACK OF SPACE AND THE REALISATION THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO PLAY THE MAJORITY OF MY HUGE COLLECTION,I AM PRUNING DOWN SELECTED ITEMS.

NOW HERE IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL!

AN ORIGINAL 1ST EDITION FROM 1971 OF THE EXCITING ROCK ALBUM "LOVE IT TO DEATH"ISSUED ON THE STRAIGHT LABEL .  

  This is a THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings WITH ALTERNATIVE LABEL DESIGNS from a few months later-This ESSENTIAL LP pressed within the first months of issue in 1971 when ALICE COOPER'S BAND WERE ABOUT TO BE ONE OF THE  BIGGEST ROCK BANDS AND STILL KEENLY COLLECTED AND ENJOYED TO THIS DAY!!! 

THE GATEFOLD  COVER HAS  SLIGHT EDGE/SURFACE  WEAR AND TINY EDGE CREASES BUT  THERE IS NO WRITING/NO RIPS/NO REPAIRS!!

ONE NOTABLE CREASE HALF WAY DOWN AT THE RIGHT SIDE BUT THIS IS NOT A MAJOR FAULT.

  SO BACK TO THE DISC ITSELF>>>>>> 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THIS LP ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE HAS  HARDLY BEEN PLAYED WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AND PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY!

A GREAT EXPERIENCE INDEED!

Copies of this album were  sold in huge quantities but how many were preserved like this one?? USED BUT NOT ABUSED!!! 

THERE IS AMAZING BASS AND YET STILL CRISPNESS OF SOUND!  

Those buying LP's in 1971,were often using terrible equipment.  

Vinyl is still the best way to hear ALICE COOPER and always will be!

 GREAT  SOUND! MORE BASS THAN CD! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I PLAYED THIS TWICE TO BE SURE! 

There is NO spindle wear.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults OR WITHOUT THE DETAIL I AM PROVIDING WITH TOTAL HONESTY.

HOPEFULLY THE WINNER WILL FIND THIS A BIT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

THE DISC AT IT'S STRICTEST OVERALL GRADING IS NEAR MINT CONDITION.

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic Starting price with no annoying reserve.  

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A PIECE OF ROCK HISTORY. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
