Description
WHEN THIS WAS FIRST PRESSED IT HAD THE A1 / B1 MATRICES, THEN A2 / B2 THEN A2 / B3 AND SO ON, ALL ON THE SOLID PINK LABEL, THEN WENT TO A3 / B4 & so on , ON THE PINK RIMMED LABEL.
THE A1 / B1 MATRICES ARE WELL KNOWN TO COMMAND OVER 5K ON EBAY, THIS VINYL I BELEIVE IS AS RARE ASTHE A1 / B1, SURLEY A CROSSOVER FROM THE A1 / B1 to the A2 / B2 WITH THESE VERY EARLY MOTHERS,I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AN A2 / B2 WITH SUCH LOW NUMBERS, YET I HAVE SEEN A A1/B1 TWICE IN MY YEARS OF COLLECTING VINYL
THE MATRICES ON THIS VINYL ARE, ILPS 9111A/2 14 / ILPS 9111B/2 15. AND THAT IS ALL THAT IS ON THE DEAD WAX,(NOTHING ELSE WHATEVER !!!!!!! ) NO OTHER LETTERS OR OTHER NUMBERS. MOST A2/B2s FOLLOWING NUMBERS ARE IN THE HUNDREDS I.E. 3 NUMBERS FOLLOWING.
THE VINYL HAS THE JUST PRESSED DEEP SHINE, LOOKS AMAZING. IT VISUALLY GRADES AT EXCELENT+ / NR MINT.under very strong light i can make out 3 MINUTE & I MEAN MINUTE scuffs, UNDER NORMAL LIGHT YOU WOULD HAVE A JOB TO KNOW THEY ARE THERE, & THATS ONLY BECAUSE I HAVE NOW TOLD YOU.
PLAYGRADES AT EXCELENT, some slight dust crackle but not much & only in the quiet parts, WITH A PROFFESIONAL CLEAN, IT WOULD COME OVER AS NR MINT.
AN AMAZINGLY EARLY VINYL AND IN THIS CONDITION IT IS UNHEARED OF.
THE LABELS GRADE AT EXCELENT, just a few spindel lines.
THE EARLY GATEFOLD SLEEVE, PRINTED AND MADE BY ( E.J.DAY, LONDON ) AND WITH THE BASING STOKE ADDRESS, I WOULD GRADE AT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN VERY GOOD+ AND EXCELENT concidering its age. SOME SLIGHT SHELVING, AND THE INNER NR THE SPINE HAS A SLIGHT CREASE LIFT, THIS COULD EASILY BE FLATTENED OUT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL. A VERY SLIGHT MARK ON THE REAR TOP RIGHT CORNER please see images.
I HAVE OWNED THIS VINYL FOR QUITE A WHILE BUT WAS ALWAYS TOO FRIGHTENED TO PLAY IT DUE TO ITS RARITY, BUT I HAVE NOW PURCHASED ANOTHER COPY, SO ITS TIME THIS WENT TO A COLLECTOR WHO MAY APPRECIATE ITS RARITY.
JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER WITH SUCH LOW NUMBERS, I HAVEN'T IN OVER 30yrs.
I AM STARTING THIS AT A VERY LOW STARTING PRICE & EXPECT MUCH INTEREST IN THIS what can only be described as " A MASSIVE PROG ROCK MONSTER"
ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK IN THE NORMAL WAY ( NO QUESTIONS OR ANSWERS WILL BE LISTED, so feel free to ask what you will.) & ALL BIDS WILL REMAIN ANNONIMOUS TO OTHER BIDDERS.

" ADVERTISED ELSEWHERE, SO HAVE THE RIGHT TO END LISTING unless it is already bidded on then i will leave it on " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
