PURPLE RECORDS (TPSA 7515)
1975
RECORD WEIGHT: 125G
MATRIX Nos: A-1U/B-1U
SLEEVE CONDITION: EX-. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1st PRESS GATEFOLD SLEEVE, FULLY LAMINATED ON BOTH THE OUTER AND INNER COVER. JUST A LITTLE VERY LIGHT 'FOXING' ON THE INNER.
EDGES TOP & BOTTOM: NO SPLITS OR TEARS AND NO OBVIOUS SHELFWEAR. JUST A LITTLE VERY LIGHT 'BUMPING' TO THE CORNERS.
SPINE: NO SPLITS OR OBVIOUS WEAR. LAMINATE FULLY INTACT. VERY LIGHT CREASE WHERE SLEEVE HAS BEEN OPENED AND SHUT. NO COMPRESSION. STILL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
FRONT: JUST THE ODD TINY CREASE ALONG THE SPINE EDGE AND THE ODD LIGHT COMPRESSION LINE. NO CREASES ANYWHERE ELSE AND NO RINGWEAR. NO SPLITS, RIPS, WRITING OR TEARS. LAMINATE IS FULLY INTACT WITH NO LIFTING. A LITTLE VERY LIGHT DISCOLOURATION HERE AND THERE BUT STILL IN VERY NICE CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE.
REAR: AGAIN, JUST A COUPLE OF LITTLE CREASES ALONG THE SPINE EDGE AND ONE SMALL CREASE ON THE UPPER OPENING EDGE. JUST A VERY LIGHT HINT OF RINGWEAR WHICH IS ONLY REALLY SEEN WHEN TILTING THE COVER IN THE LIGHT. NO SPLITS, RIPS, WRITING OR TEARS. OPENING EDGE IS STRAIGHT WITH BARELY ANY FEATHERING. LAMINATE IS FULLY INTACT. AS WITH THE FRONT, THERE IS A LITTLE DISCOLOURATION BUT STILL IN NICE CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE.
INSIDE GATEFOLD: NO RINGWEAR AND NO SPLITS, RIPS, WRITING OR TEARS. LAMINATE IS FULLY INTACT WITH NO DAMAGE. NO OBVIOUS CREASES AT ALL. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THERE IS A LITTLE 'FOXING' IN THE WHITE AREAS AND ALONG THE TOP EDGE BUT OVERALL IN NICE CONDITION.
LYRIC INNER: VG++ CONDITION. ONE SMALL (1 INCH) SPLIT ON LOWER EDGE OTHERWISE NO SPLITS, RIPS OR TEARS. VERY LIGHT RINGWEAR. A LITTLE LIGHT DISCOLOURATION (FOXING) AND A NAME WRITTEN IN ONE CORNER. ONE BOTTOM CORNER CLIPPED. NOT SURE IF THIS WAS FROM THE FACTORY OR NOT.
RECORD CONDITION:
OVERALL THE RECORD IS A STRONG EX TO EX+ WITH NO OBVIOUS MARKS OR SCRATCHES WHATSOEVER. BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN PLAYING SURFACES THAT HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH USE AT ALL. MOST PEOPLE WOULD GRADE THIS AS NEAR MINT OR MINT. EVEN IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT THERE ARE BARELY ANY SLEEVE REMOVAL TYPE HAIRLINES. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1st PRESSING FROM 1975 WITH A-1U/B-1U MATRIX NUMBERS.
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT PLUS WITH NO OBVIOUS SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE. NO STICKERS, WRITING OR OTHER UNWANTED MARKS.
OVERALL, PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. PLAYS WITH STRONG, DISTORTION FREE SOUND. THERE IS THE ODD LITTLE SOLITARY STATIC TYPE TICK ON THE RUN IN'S AND A LITTLE FAINT 'FLUTTER' BETWEEN TRACKS BUT BASICALLY NOTHING TO SPOIL THE SOUNDTRACK. THERE MAY BE THE ODD LITTLE TICK IN ANY QUIET PASSAGES BUT THESE ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. ABSOLUTELY NO AUDIBLE SCRATCHES OR OTHER AUDIBLE MARKS AT ALL. NO REPETITIVE CLICKS OR POPS. THIS IS A REALLY NICE COPY.
SO NICE TO SEE OLD 1970s LPs IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION AS THEY ARE BECOMING HARDER TO FIND.
POSTAGE WILL BE SIGNED FOR WITH TRACKING
