Fancy getting close to the audio quality of a solid-blue-triangle 1st issue copy without breaking the bank? There is a way... READ ON>>>>
An original 3rd issue of DSOTM on the UK Harvest label from Spring 1974. Matrix A3/B3. First released in March 1973 this copy comes just 12 months later..which in reality is very good provenance. How do we know that it's that close? Well, at the point that EMI changed the perimeter text from Gramophone to EMI in spring 1974 they also made a duplication error on the DSOTM labels. You will note how the labels on this copy manage to make reference to "Made in Great Britain" twice! This error can be found on these first new version labels and the error would have been spotted and modified fairly quickly. What these early copies do manager to offer collectors is a cheaper route into a heavy pressed early copy. You're getting within 12 months of the initial pressings without shelling out a fortune. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original cover with the hype sticker i the top right. Also included is the original generic white inner with patent info inner. There are NO posters and NO stickers. So, this copy really needs to go to an enthusiast who is after the best audio you can bag - for the best price.
Vinyl (Ex) In superb condition and has only seen light use. Under close inspection I could only make out a few very light marks per side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, EXCELLENT level of playback. Needless to say an early copy that has been well cared for really does sound terrific. It's a clean player and that's not always an easy find. Interference is very minor and infrequent. You might detect just a few crackles in couple of isolated spots, but in reality very little at all. E.g. the opening heart beats...and the intro to "Us And Them"...But it's all very minor in the grand scheme of things. This is about as clean as it's typically possible to go without sailing into the realms of unobtainable. Most definitely a keeper for someone just looking for best audio.
Cover (Ex-) Again, a really difficult cover to find in top level condition. But this example is well preserved and looking much better than many other examples that surface from this era. Lovely deep blacks with only minor signs of surface wear. I can only make out a couple of minor thumbnail creases on the front and two minors creases on the rear. The sticker on the front is in nice condition and is not peeling away. The interior looks immaculate to me - no issues at all. Edge wear is light with very little on the spine. The openings are still sharpish. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Vg+) A bit of ageing. And a one inch side split.
