Description
A SUPERB COPY OF THE FIRST PRESS OF THIS VERY SPECIAL LP!
Discogs lists these features for a First Press:
"Original copies include inner sleeve promoting Motown releases.
Earliest pressings were on dynaflex vinyl.
Catalog# on spine: TS310"
The original inner sleeve is present, unsplit, and that catalog number, as written, is on the spine. This feels like dynaflex - thin and a bit flexible, but I am not an expert on dynaflex pressing vs. other pressing.
These matrices are present:
Matrix / Runout (Runout A): A4RS-2682-2-D TS-310 HS-1867 S-1 dh TVC Matrix / Runout (Runout B): A4RS-2684-2-D TS-310 HS-1868 S-2 dh TVC
There are also etchings like a sideways V after ...67 and ...68 on each matrix.
The gatefold has light corner wear, little to no edge wear, no marks, rings or splits. As noted, LP stored in original inner sleeve unsplit. The vinyl LOOKS VERY CLEAN and I'd grade it NM except for a few light, and lightly feelable scuff marks on the first cut of Side 2. I am unable to play test the song, but given these light marks, I'll grade as VG++.
