VALENTYNE SUITE

ORIGINAL PHILIPS EARLIEST 1ST PRESS !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS 

WITH CORRECTED MATRIX NUMBERS :: 1Y X 1  ::  2 X Y X 1.

STAMPERS  :: 11 17  ::  11 14 .

ON THE LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL :: 847 900 VTY .

THIS WAS THE FIRST LP TO BE RELEASED ON THE SWIRL LABEL :: VO 1 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL EARLIEST 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD WITH 'A PHILIPS RECORDS PRODUCT' , BOTTOM CORNER INSIDE GATE FOLD ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ). THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE SOLID BUT HAS MODERATE SHELF WEAR TO BOTTOM EDGE, AND SOME HEAVIER SHELF WEAR TO TOP EDGE, AND SOME RUBS IN PLACES ALONG THE SPINE ( PLEASE SEE SPINE PHOTO ). THERE IS A SMALL STICKER AND A BIT OF PAPER LOSS TOP RIGHT ON THE FRONT ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) . INSIDE THE GATEFOLD IS VERY NICE AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP AND WITH NO OTHER ISSUES :: VG/VG+ .

VINYL :: THE THICK 1ST PRESS VINYL PLAYS THROUGH SUPERB WITH NO AUDIO PROBLEMS, AND THERE ARE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS ANYWHERE. PLEASE WHEN YOU READ VISUAL DESCRIPTION, PLEASE DO NOT BE PUT OFF AS WHEN YOU READ THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION, YOU WILL SEE HOW WELL THE VINYL PLAYS !!!!

VISUALLY THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND A FEW FINE HAIRLINES SEEN MORE UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. THERE IS A SCUFF LINE ON SIDE 1 WHICH GOES FROM THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1 TO THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 3 . IT IS SLIGHTLY FEELABLE ON TRACK 3 ..................BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY GREAT EFFECT ON THE BRILLIANT AUDIO......THESE 1ST PRESS VERTIGO SWIRL VINYLS ARE SUPERB AND A GOOD JOB THEY ARE, AS A NEWER VINYL AND THIS WOULD BE IN THE BIN !!! THIS DOES SOUND BAD , BUT I CAN I ASSURE YOU THAT IF IT WAS BAD, I WOULD NOT EVEN PUT IT ON MY DECK, AND IT WOULD NOT BE LISTED HERE !!!!! NOW FOR THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  THIS REALLY DOES PLAY AMAZING, AND THERE IS ONLY A FEW VERY FAINT TICKS, BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND 2 AND TRACK 2 AND 3, AND THIS IS NOT ON THE AUDIO !! TRACK 3 HAS A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT HARD TO HEAR TICKS JUST AFTER THE START, AND TRACK 4 HAS TWO FAINT TICKS JUST AFTER THE START :: SIDE 2 PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES . AS YOU CAN SEE THAT SCUFF MARK HAS NO SERIOUS EFFECT, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX+ .SUPERB ALBUMT !!!! 

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN WITH ' A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT' ON LABEL 2. THERE ARE SOME TINY LIGHT FOXING SPOTS, AND SEEN ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND A FEW SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE, ALSO SEEN WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ::  VG+/EX . 

ORIGINAL SWIRL POLYLINED INNER :: NO WRITING, BUT THERE IS A TINY STICKER WITH 'VALENTYNE SUITE' WRITTEN ON IT. THERE IS A TINY SEAM SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE SIDE EDGE, AND SOME AGEING AROUND THE EDGES :: VG .

WOW, A VERY EARLY 1ST PRESS PHILIPS ORIGINAL VINYL WITH PHILIPS GATEFOLD, AND ORIGINAL INNER !!! IF YOU DO NOT MIND LOOKING AT THE VINYL AS IT IS NOT THE BEST VISUALLY, THEN YOU ARE GOING TO GET YOURSELF A PIECE OF VINYL HISTORY, WITH SUPERB AUDIO. THIS IS A 45 YEAR OLD VINYL, AND IT STILL PLAYS AMAZING !!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
