It has the Rare "DELTA PORK" and "PECKIE" etchings in the dead/wax lead-out groove indicating that this pressing was cut by George Peckham (aka Porky - Pecko Duck).
Porky is a lacquer-cutting and mastering engineer and has an illustrious career that includes work on the BEATLES, GENESIS and LED ZEPPELIN catalogue amongst others. He has helped on the engineering aspects and done special cuts for artists like JOHN LENNON - AC DC – WINGS – DEEP PURPLE - JETHRO TULL – FREE – WHO – TEN YEARS AFTER – TRAFFIC - YES or KING CRIMSON.
COVER - ORIGINAL GATEFOLD WITH SUPERB SPINE AND REASONABLE EDGES.
THERE ARE A FEW MINOR SCUFF MARKS AND STORAGE MARKS BUT NOTHING MAJOR.
This copy is graded VG as the sleeve is showing some edge wear and MINIMAL laminate creasing to the front cover
otherwise remaining in respectable shape for its 40 years of age
INSIDE GATEFOLD STILL BRILLIANT AND WITH NO OTHER ISSUES.
GRADED VG/EX DUE TO THE VERY MINOR SCUFFS
VINYL - UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE ONLY THE USUAL WISPY SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB FINE LINES, THESE ARE ALL COSMETIC AND THERE ARE NO STICKS, SKIPS OR JUMPS ANYWHERE!
The vinyl discs show
light spindle wear and several light cosmetic surface marks
- still a very respectable copy of this now very sought after
pressing! TPSP351
LABELS - PERFECT WITH ONLY LIGHT SPINDLE WEAR.
1972 Purple label 7-track with Gramophone Company perimeter text and GRADED - EX
A VERY WORTHY COPY OF THIS ALBUM!
NO RESERVE ON THIS ITEM!!!
This is an excellent sought after example of this release on this format which gives the sound an "edge" over other formats!
