DEEP PURPLE
GENUINE UK 1ST PRESS WITH NO EMI BOX !!!!
THIS IS DEEP PURPLE AND THEIR BRILLIANT 2nd STUDIO ALBUM AND FROM 1968 !!!! SIDE 1 PLAYS AMAZING, BUT SIDE 2 HAS A COUPLE OF TINY MARKS WHERE YOU CAN HEAR SOME FAINT AND LIGHT TICKS, BUT ALL WILL BE REVEALED BELOW, AND THIS COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968  UK 1ST PRESS   ::   A-1G   ::  B-1G.
VERY EARLY MOTHERS AND STAMPERS   ::  1  R   ::  1 C M  .

ON THE HARVEST LABEL :: SHVL 751 .
NO EMI BOX ON THE LABELS .
HAS 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD'  RIM TEXT .
COVER  ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED PRINTED AND MADE BY ERNEST J. DAY & Co Ltd,. LONDON W.I, AND IN BEAUTIFUL SOLID CLEAN CONDITION, WITH NO RUB OR WEAR AND JUST TWO WRAP AROUND LAMINATE CREASE LINES ON THE SPINE SIDE EDGE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND THERE IS JUST THE VERY FAINTEST OF RING WEAR, SEEN ONLY WHEN THE COVER IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY, AND IT IS VERY FAINT. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE NO ISSUES, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE, A VERY, VERY, VERY STRONG  :: EX . IF NOT A TINY BIT BETTER !!!!

VINYL :: FIRSTLY THERE ARE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, AND IN FACT NOTHING REALLY THAT INTRUSIVE, BUT PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, AND I HAVE DONE A TRACK BY TRACK DESCRIPTION, WHICH MAKES IT EASIER, AND PLEASE REMEMBER WHAT IS NOT MENTIONED PLAYS FINE WITH NO ISSUES, THANK YOU >>>>>>>>>>>>

SIDE 1 :: PLAYS BEAUTIFUL WITH NO ISSUES !!!!

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 HAS FIVE LIGHT TICKS AND TWELVE FAINT TICKS JUST AFTER THE START ON THE INTRO.

TRACK 2 HAS TWO FAINT TICKS JUST BEFORE THE MIDDLE, AND FOUR FAINT TICKS A BIT FURTHER ON, AND SEVEN FAINT TICKS AT THE END .

TRACK 3 HAS TWELVE LIGHT TICKS, AND EIGHT FAINT TICKS AT THE START. THERE ARE ANOTHER TWELVE FAINT TICKS A BIT FURTHER ON, FOUR MORE AGAIN FURTHER ON AND THREE FAINT TICKS JUST BEFORE THE MIDDLE. 

NOW THIS DOES SOUND A LOT, BUT WHAT IS NOT MENTIONED PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES. NOW YOU ARE PROBABLY WONDERING WHAT CAUSES THE AUDIO TICKS, WELL THERE IS A VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE TINY SCUFF MARK AT THE START OF TRACK 1. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL THIN SCUFF LINE AT THE END OF TRACK 2 AND THE START OF TRACK 3, AND THE ONE AT THE START OF TRACK 3 IS SLIGHTLY FEELABLE. THERE IS A COSMETIC HAIRLINE AT THE END OF TRACK 2, AND ON TO TRACK 3. WHILE SIDE 1 JUST HAS THREE COSMETIC HAIRLINES, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AS WELL. AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, SO IT IS NOT COVERED IN MARKS, JUST THOSE ONES AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. 

SO REALLY IT IS THE START OF TRACK 1, THE END OF TRACK 2 AND START OF TRACK 3 WHICH HAVE ANY BEARING ON THE AUDIO, AND PLEASE REMEMBER SIDE 1 PLAYS SUPERB. SO A BIT OF A HARD ONE TO AUDIO GRADE, SO I WILL SPLIT IT IN TO GROUPS.

SIDE 1 :: AUDIO GRADE, A VERY STRONG :: EX+ .

SIDE 2 :: START OF TRACK 1 :: VG/VG- . THE REST OF THE TRACK :: EX .

START OF TRACK 2 :: EX . THEN FROM HALFWAY ON :: VG .

UP TO HALF WAY ON TRACK 3 :: VG- . OVER HALF WAY TO END :: EX .

AS YOU CAN SEE VERY HARD TO GRADE, AND I THINK AS WELL I WILL GRADE BOTH SIDES, SO....

SIDE 1  AUDIO GRADE :: EX+ .

SIDE 2  OVER ALL AUDIO GRADE  :: VG . 

AS YOU HAVE SEEN I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO BE HONEST AS I POSSIBLY CAN AND TRY TO GIVE A BETTER AUDIO DESCRIPTION BY BREAKING THE AUDIO DOWN INTO GROUPS, THANK YOU. 

LABELS :: NICE AND AND CLEAN WITH SOME FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX/EX+ .  

ORIGINAL INNER ::  NO WRITING, AND NO SPLITS JUST A BIT OF AGEING, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN ANOTHER INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL INNER  :: VG+ .

WELL THAT WAS HARD WORK, SO THINK I DESERVE A NICE GLASS OR SIX OF WINE, HA HA !!!! SHAME ABOUT THOSE MARKS AND TICKS, BUT IT STILL IS ENJOYABLE, AND PLEASE REMEMBER THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS VINYL FAIRIES, SO THE VINYL WILL ARRIVE THE SAME AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. MIND YOU PITY I DID NOT HAVE A FEW VINYL FAIRIES, THAT WOULD BE GOOD !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!! ROSE.
