- Matrix / Runout (Variant 1 - Runout side A): 127 Do what thou wilt 2401002 A-5
- Matrix / Runout (Variant 1 - Runout side B): 122 So mote it be 2401002 B-5
The original poly lined sleeve , 70 date stamp, correct patent no.s (see photos) - often missing, this has a little discolour and creasing but no rips and in fantastic condition
The labels look excellent, very little signs of past wear and tear - with Peter Grant credit as per above 1st press reference
The vinyl is clean, on very close inspection there are a few light cleaning marks I believe , hardly noticeable, no outstanding scratches and in great visual condition for its age
How does it play? Side one has a little light background noise between tracks , nothing overpowering, no loud pops and the powerful bits sound excellent! Side two starts with a bit of crackle, as it gets going it sounds great. There are a few light ticks on the last couple of tracks, nothing overpowering and , again, really powerful in the main. A great listen all round!
Please view all the photos.
More vinyl listed please take a look, happy to combine p&p for UK sales.
