Another from my personal collection. Savoy Brown "A Step Further"1969 The original Stereo 1st UK pressing! This album was originally only ever played a few times and then to record to tape and then stored in a case with the vinyl separated from the sleeve and cover for protection. This is how I have always stored my records. This is one of the earliest stereo 1st UK variations  Features the earliest  -1W & -1W matrix endings variation with  "1"to "1" Mother stampers on both sides. The audio is clear and very vibrant absolutely stunning through out! On initial inspection the vinyl looks superb I can't see any nasty needle or audio sounding marks that would cause any loud constant clicks or pops. Super Vibrant Audio Only heard like this on earliest UK pressings! Note: There are initial noted on the label side one but only really noticed if looked for and very feint. The original 1st issue  laminated front only (Laminated with Clorifoil) cover has no splits or tears super straight and clean graded better than excellent to excellent plus with just very light storage wear with age only. Very Rare after 49 years!
WOW! a fantastic rich and vibrant Blues album.

Very rare and collectable in this exceptional condition after 49 years!

The labels.

The original 1st UK issue UN-BOXED DECCA  labels!    Minimal spider marks/trailsnoted only, even when angled to the light and of coarse little if (no) spindle ware the hole is perfectly round. This has only ever been played a minimal amount of times only. Note: There is very small feint initials noted on side1 only really noticed if looked for in my opinion. Other than that the labels are clean.

The vinyl.

This is the original thick and heavier type of vinyl only found like this on the original earliest pressings. On initial visual inspection this looks clean and still retains its sheen from new!In the last 45 years this has been stored in a case with the vinyl separated from the sleeve and cover to prevent ring ware and damage. This is how I have always stored my records, and of course I played this again to play grade at very loud volume on a top system!  In fact even when I look at the playing surface angled to a strong light I find it hard notice no more than minor whispy surface sleeve removal marks/scuffs/scratches. (Importantly,, Nothing that would cause any nasty loud constant clicks or pops that I heard). 

The Audio Quality

 I have played this through track for track prior to listing at very very loud volume on a top system! The moment the needle hits the playing surface it is obvious this vinyl has only ever been played a minimal amount of times only!  The audio quality is superbe, TOP, TOP, TOP! cristal clear and extremely vibrant through out in fact this plays truly superb    This played through superb unbelievable audio seperationVery vibrant sounding audio separation only found like this on the earliest pressings. Early pressing makes all the difference! Note: Earliest "1" to"1" Stampers! Any interferance noted was minimal in my opinion Note: some isolated static may be heard in quieter places on in between tracks only. This vinyl has been stored separately from the cover in a poly sleeve for over 40 years! This is the way I always  have stores my records! The vibrancy of the audio on this pressing in my opinion is superb for a very early 1st issue variation!  I would class myself as highly critical and this is a truly exceptional sounding vinyl   Please check my completed listings of records that i have sold of this quality and you will see that i normally get it right! I would grade the audio at least excellent plus to very near mint! It is noted that debrit was seen on the playing surface after play indicating this will need constantcleaning after each play.

Please note! That i always make this disclaimer! Allowances must be made for these late sixties pressings. Dirt and grit trapped in between the record sleeve and record causes surface scratches. Please allow for the odd isolated static/ pops/ticks heard as mentioned previously, certainly not consistent throughout the audio. This is a genuine 49 year old vinyl that would have originally been played on a 49 year old system! Genuinly only ever played a minimal amount of times ever!

Points to note! This has been stored in a case laying dormant for at least 45 years! 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 1st issue blue and white Decca poly lined record sleeve. no splits or tears. very clean. Lightr creases with age only. Very straight and clean.

The Cover

This is the original and earliest 1st UK issue laminated front only cover! (No Barcode) .

Note: This is generly exceptionally clean and straight with no edge splits or tears. All text is readable.. Minor thumb creases are only noticed in the laminate if looked for in my opinion Any other storage wear marks are minimal and again not really noticed unless looked for inmy opinion. The rear is generally clean and straight any fading is minimal only. Overall truly exceptional 49 year old cover. Now always kept stored in a case with the vinyl removed from this cover for protection. This is how I have always stored my records. Cover graded at least excellent to excellent plus in my opinion!

Very collectable and soght after 1st UK pressing. 49 Years Old Vinyl / Audio Archive Final Upgrade Copy!
