JOHN MARTYN
~ SOLID AIR ~
(1973 ISLAND RECORDS – RARE UK FIRST PRESSING!)
ON OFFER HERE IS A VERY RARE ORIGINAL FIRST UK PRESSING OF THE SUPERB ALBUM SOLID AIR BY JOHN MARTYN ON THE “PINK RIM” ISLAND RECORDS LABEL.
THIS IS A HIGHLY DESIRABLE RECORD IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE BUT THIS COPY IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT - IT HAS TWO A-SIDE LABELS!!
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS ISLAND ILPS 9226
THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: ILPS 9226 A-1U / ILPS 9226 B-1U
OTHER ETCHINGS ARE: STERLING / STERLING
THE SLEEVE
THE MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR, SOME MINOR RUBBING AND SOME TINY SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE WIDE SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE BLUE POY-LINED ISLAND INNER SLEEVE WITH PINK “i” logo IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH SOME WEAR AND DISCOLOURATION. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT CREASES.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE HEAVY BLACK VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY MARKS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS GLORIOUS ALBUM AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT APART FROM ONE CLICK THAT I NOTED RIGHT AT THE END OF TRACK TWO ON SIDE TWO.
THE LABELS
THE ICONIC ISLAND LABELS, WITH PINK RIMS AND PALM TREE LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW TINY SPINDLE MARKS. UNFORTUNATELY THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS WRITTEN HIS NAME NEATLY ON EACH LABEL. NOTE ALSO THAT THIS RECORD HAS TWO A-SIDE LABELS!!
SIDE ONE
- SOLID AIR
- OVER THE HILL
- DON’T WANT TO KNOW
- I’D RATHER BE THE DEVIL
SIDE TWO
- GO DOWN EASY
- DREAMS BY THE SEA
- MAY YOU NEVER
- THE MAN IN THE STATION
- THE EASY BLUES
ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE “ENVELOPE STYLE” MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORDS AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.
