Description
THIS IS THE FIRST PRESSING OF THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK ISSUE OF DAVY GRAHAM’S “HAT” LP AND IS SERIOUSLY RARE IN THIS CONDITION! THIS WAS ONE OF DAVY’S DECCA LPs THAT SOLD FAIRLY POORLY AT THE TIME AND IS CONSEQUENTLY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION! THE VINYL IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE COVER IS OUTSTANDING FOR ITS AGE. DONT MISS THIS VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY!
The Catalogue Number is SKL 5011 on the blue Decca stereo label. Matrix numbers are ZAL-8991P-1W and ZAL-8992P-2W
The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see picture) with NO wear, NO writing, and ONLY THE VERY VERY LIGHTEST (ALMOST INVISIBLE) spindle marks. I BOUGHT THIS RECORD SHORTLY AFTER IT CAME OUT AND IT HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED AND THEN ONLY ON TOP QUALITY HI-FI EQUIPMENT. The vinyl is in SUPERB condition with NO scratches, NO scuff marks and NO signs of wear. THE RECORD STILL RETAINS EVERY BIT OF ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK! The record sounds as STUNNING as the visual! It plays with CRYSTAL CLEAR UNDISTORTED SOUND, NO sticking, NO jumps, and NO crackle! The record plays SUPERBLY with ZERO DISTORTION! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way! Brilliant!!
The cover is NOT in mint condition! It has been subjected to being placed in a record rack in the shop prior to sale. There is a small patch where there was a shop sticker in the top right corner of the front cover (see picture). The front and back covers have seven horizontal creases from the spine due to being stored in a record shop rack. The longest crease is 1.5cm and the shortest 0.5cm. The top of the front cover has two vertical creases - the longer crease is 1.5cm and the shorter 0.5cm. The bottom of the front cover has five vertical creases - the longest crease is 1cm and the shortest less than 0.5cm. There are two very light thumb creases to the front cover which can be seen under strong light. There is some light minimal fluttering to the right hand edge.
There is a 2cm hairline scuff to the left hand edge of the back cover (the open side of the cover where you insert the disc) 11cm from the bottom left hand corner and a 3cm hairline scuff at the bottom left hand edge of the back cover.
There is some SLIGHT scuffing to the main part of the front cover but it mostly retains its INITIAL GLOSSY look. The back cover is a little scuffed near the bottom (see picture).
PLEASE SEE MY REVIEWS FROM RECENT BUYERS BEFORE BIDDING. THANK YOU.
THIS IS A MASSIVELY RARE AND LEGENDARY UK LP AND VERY HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION! DONT MISS OUT!
For packaging I use strong record boxes with extra stiffeners to stop damage and bends to the cover. All LPs are sent out with the record packed separately from the original cover to stop splits and damage to the cover.
