Second Issue.
These copies were produced for a short time only, between first pressing and first repress, featuring earliest use of the new black Harvest "blue outline prism" label design. These early transitional pressings, still have on labels the rim text starting as "The Gramophone Co. Ltd", and have been found with vinyl matrix A2/B2 or A3/B2 or A3/B3.
Gatefold cover of these copies come with two shade of color: very dark blue or black. Many copies have been released with a sticker on front, although some do not have it. The front cover has two different types of front openings: - The right front opening of the gatefold cover is sealed with the two sides glued together. - The right front opening of the gatefold cover is not sealed. Rear top right corner has the text (IE 064 o 05249) between SHVL 804 and "stereo" centered (later copies have it left aligned).
Original set includes two A2-sized posters and 2 stickers. Stickers have two different types of text on the back: - "FasPrint Permanent" & "Crack Back Patented". - "Permanent". ABOUT THIS COPY
Matrix / Runout (Side A Runout, variant 1): SHVL 804 A-3 Matrix / Runout (Side B Runout, variant 1): SHVL 804 B-3 Mother indicators 2/2 - see photos
The gatefold sleeve is solid, nice inside; a bit of corner/edge rubbing and handling/storage wear generally as you'd expect. - has a lovely blue/black tinge too... (tried to show in photos)
Has 2 glossy posters (band and pyramids - correct cat. no and colours for first year press) - there is only fold creasing on them - never hung
2 stickers with correct markings for the release in fantastic order
Labels on both sides show small signs of use, no major scratches/marks, writing etc. just spindle marks
The vinyl is very clean generally, - no deep feelables - a few light usage marks / hairline surface lines from past use and a few scuffs (tried to show an idea in photos). There is Nothing that causes any issues, plays with no jumps or sticks or loud background...great!
There is light background crackle, at build ups and quieter spots etc. it's more prominent, but does not spoil the listneing experience - just what is usual for a copy of this age; - overall it still sounds punchy and fantastic. A great listen. WATCH THE 1 MINUTE CLIP OF TIME!
PLEASE VIEW THE PHOTOS AND THE CLIP; MESSAGE WITH ANY QUESTIONS NO RESERVE, LOW START...FOR PAYDAY/END OF MONTH
