mono
PLAYS SUPERB WITH NO NASTY AUDIO ISSUES !!!!
HERE IS A RARE CHANCE TO GET DEEP PURPLE'S VERY FIRST LP, AND WHAT MAKES IT EVEN RARER, IS IT IS PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER AND EARLIEST FIRST STAMPERS !!!!       THIS IS THEIR FIRST ALBUM, AND SO HAS THE ORIGINAL MARK 1 LINE UP, WITH, ROD EVANS, NICK SIMPER, JON LORD, RICHIE BLACKMORE, AND, IAN PAICE, AND ANOTHER PYSCH ROCK, PROG ROCK, HARD ROCK1960's CLASSIC FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!! 

THIS OF COURSE IS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE ROCK BANDS ON THE PLANET, DEEP PURPLE, WHO WERE PART OF THE BIG FOUR IN THE LATE 60's AND 70's. THEY WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1968, AND THEIR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER !!!!    DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS MONO ::  XEX 689-1  ::  XEX 690-1  .

ON THE BLACK AND YELLOW MONO PARLOPHONE LABEL  ::  PMC 7055 .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER, WITH FIRST STAMPERS SO EARLIEST OFF THE PRESS  ::  1 G  ::  1 G .
'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' RIM TEXT .
'SOLD IN THE UK SUBJECT TO RESALE' LABEL TEXT .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK MONO WITH PURPLE COLOURED BACK, PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTD, PATENTS PENDING PMC 7055  PCS 705, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH JUST A FEW TINY SPOTS OF LIGHT RUB AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS. THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT, BUT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES WITH A FEW LONGER ONES IN THE CORNERS. THE BACK IS FREE FROM WRITING, WITH SOME LAMINATE CREASE LINES ON THE LAMINATED FLIP BACKS, AND THE OPENING EDGE, HAS SOME VERY LIGHT FEATHERING, AND AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS NOTHING SERIOUS, AND SO WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE A CLEAN AND SOLID   :: VG+ .

VINYL :: PLAYS REALLY WELL, AND YOU WILL BE GLAD TO KNOW, THAT THERE ARE NO, SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, CRACKLE, STATIC, CLICKS OR POPS, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS AS DESCRIBED BELOW...

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS FIVE FAINT TICKS JUST AFTER THE START ON THE QUIET INTRO .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 5  :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .

TRACK 2 :: THREE FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE AND FOUR FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 4 :: TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .

THERE IS NOTHING LOUD OR OVER THE AUDIO SO NOTHING INTRUSIVE, SO STILL A GREAT VINYL TO LISTEN TO !!!!

VISUALLY, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AS AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT, THE VINYL LOOKS FINE WHICH IS ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW HARMLESS COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED COSMETIC HAIRLINES, WHICH ONLY HAVE A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND NOT AN AUDIO EFFECT, SO FOR THAT ALL IMOPORTANT AUDIO GRADE, AND TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE OF THE AUDIO GRADE, AND SEEING HOW RARE THIS PRESSING IS, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX- . YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !!!!

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE, SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .

EMITEX INNER  ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST A BIT OF DAMAGE ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE  :: VG/VG+ .

YES ANOTHER DEEP PURPLE MASTERPIECE, AND THEIR VERY FIRST AND ONE OF THE EARLIEST OFF THE PRESS, 1 G / 1 G. PLAYS WELL, WITH COSMETICS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AND NOTHING NASTY, AND ONE NOT TO FORGET ABOUT !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
