Marvin Gaye, What's Going On? 1971 First Press Vinyl, Motown - RARE

	£		19
	$		25

Description

Marvin Gaye's beautiful 1971 classic ... on original 1st press vinyl.
It's complete, with lyric sheet and Motown inner sleeve.
The cover is very good, slightly textured. No rips or tears. Bizarrely, someone has previously covered the perimeter edges with sellotape (presumably for protection). This has long been safely removed, but it has left a discolouration mark about 1/2 an inch around the edges (except the side opening - see pictures). But it really doesn't detract too much.
The vinyl looks good and is thick and heavy. Side 1 vinyl has a mark and both sides have slight hairlines. But the labels are clean. The LP plays very well - that lovely rich deep sound, although I did detect a slight jump between tracks 1 and 2 only. That said, my machine is pretty lightweight and you may have more success with a clean and a better quality stylus.
The lyric sheet is very good.
In all, this is a really nice copy of a classic and brilliant album which is getting harder and harder to find in this state.
Happy bidding.
