47 Years Old Like This! Absolutely Astounding Vinyl & Audio Archive Copy! Very Hard To Find Clean Original UK 1st Pressings Like This!
The labels The original 1st UK issue Harvest labels variation . Faint spider marks/trails around the spindle hole, the hole is perfectly round. Labels Immaculate No pen Marks or grubby finger marks clean Matte Very Well looked after new play graded for this listing. So rare for an album that is over 47 years old! Impossible to find like this! very very collectable! Early 1st UK pressing very rare in this condition!
The vinyl is absolutely superb! On initial visual inspection this looks like new and still retains its sheen from new! In the last 47 years this has been stored in a case with the vinyl separated from the sleeve and cover to prevent ring ware and damage and will be posted in the same manner with a extra protective paper sleeve from my Own Pink Floyd Collection Of which I will be posting more fantastic rare Albums for sale within the next coming Weeks so look back for more Rare Records .
The Audio Quality
Played through track for track prior to listing at very loud volume on a top system! The audio quality is as you would expect of a vinyl in this nr Mint Condition clear and extremely vibrant through out in fact this plays truly superb. Please note: This played through superb unbelievable audio separation, Even in between tracks this was generally lovely and quiet with just a hint of background static. This vinyl has been stored with original paper the cover in a poly sleeve for over 47 years! From My Private Collection The vibrancy of the audio on this pressing in my opinion is almost as good as it gets for this better 1st pressing , lies nice and flat heavy well pressed variation! I would class myself as highly critical and this is a truly exceptional sounding vinyl I would grade the audio at least excellent plus to near mint for the most part!
Please note! disclaimer ! Please allow for the odd isolated static/ /tick/pop that may be heard in quiet places or in between tracks, certainly not consistent throughout the audio. This is a genuine, over 47 years old vinyl
Points to note! Before Playing A build up of dirt and dust in the grooves from laying dormant causes static crackle\ticks! A constant clean before each play is recommended ! This would reduce any static and enhance the audio quality!
The Record Sleeve
This is the original harvest paper record sleeve, No splits or tears, light with age, this is the original. Patent N0. 1,125,555 Made In Great Britain Ex !
The Cover
The original 1st issue Textured Garrod & Lofthouse cover. Note These covers very difficult to keep in good condition and being primarily only thin card , these very prone to creasing and rubbing wear. There are no splits or tears and no nasty handwriting. Note: There are (no) real nasty creases. Just light crease lines at the spine on the inner gatefold edge to note and a minimal notch top . The spine is generally lovely and square with very slight creasing only. A truly superb example rarely seen like this.! No nasty rubbing or ring wear, any rubbing is light only light in my opinion. The rear is exceptionally clean as is the front I would grade the cover at excellent ++ in my opinion.
A Vinyl audio archive copy!
