JOHN LENNON & YOKO ONO - 'TWO VIRGINS'
1968 UK 1st STEREO PRESSING
*EXCELLENT COPY*
This excellent & rare 1968 stereo 1st pressing is on the UK dark green Apple/Track label: 613012 (SAPCOR 2)
Both labels carry the 'Sold in UK..' text and 'Apple Records..' rims.
There is no tax/price code is visible on either label.
Housed in a fully 'Technink' printed cover with the text on the rear panel.
Complete with its original die-cut, matt black inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: SAPCOR 2A-1 & SAPCOR 2B-1
Stamper numbers: 1/A & 1/M
Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS
Visual: EXCELLENT MINUS
Both surfaces are extremely clean, undulled & glossy, bearing just a single light non-feeleble hairline scratch in daylight on side 1.
Careful & close inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals only some minor sleeve removal hairlines but no other significant wear.
A slight edgewarp is visible when playing, but this does not affect sound or play in any way.
Audio: EXCELLENT
This copy has been hardly played all the tracks play without any background crackle or groovewear distortion.
Careful listening at volume reveals a few faint clicks lasting just a few revolutions on the first track on side 1, but absolutley no other audible faults.
Cover: VERY GOOD PLUS
A respectable example of this rare & fragile cover with clean panels which bear just slight discolouration but no major wear.
The front panel has a clean, fully intact laminate. The rear has some laminate lift towards the spine but no splits or tears.
There is some bruising to the corners but both opening edges are clean, unworn & undamaged.
Both seams and the unworded spine are strong and unsplit.
All discs are carefully play graded in their entirety on a Rega P9 deck with an Ortofon Kontrapunkt 'A' cartridge.
All records are 100% guaranteed. Full refunds given if you are not satisfied
