Issue : RARE UK 1st PRESS ED1 Label : COLUMBIA Catalogue No : SAX 2467 Matrix : YAX 951-13 / 952-13
This UK rare 1st press is on the earliest light blue and silver Columbia label. It is complete with the very earliest YAX 951-13 / 952-13 matrix, the original Columbia EMI inner sleeve and laminated flipback Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve.
The vinyl is in Very Good condition. There is a sensational jet black gloss, every track still gleams. There are a couple of wispy light marks on both sides and a couple of small marks. The label is superb, the light teal blue is exceptionally bold and the silver text is immaculate. There is just a little spindle wear. It is complete with the original polylined inner sleeve in Excellent condition.
The sound quality is Very Good. The vinyl lies completely flat on the turntable and the sound is exceptionally rich and vibrant. There is superb separation and clarity, just moments of very light occasional background noise and a a couple of clicks on the marks. This is brief and this rare stereo 1st edition can still be enjoyed throughout.
The laminated flipback sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. It is extremely clean and bright. The image is unworn, the lmainate is glossy, the black is bold and the white is crisp and bright. There is a little corner and opening edge wear. The whole sleeve is very solid and the spine is firm with clear text.
