STEAMHAMMER

1969 UK STEREO CBS 63611

A1 - B1

Here is a very rare original uk stereo first pressing of 'Steamhammer's' excellent 1969 debut Prog-Blues-Psych album. This is a really nice clean playing copy, both sides of the vinyl have a great original sheen and are in EX to EX+ condition and all tracks play and sound excellent throughout with barely any surface crackle/pops at all. The original E.J. Day matt gatefold sleeve is also in really excellent clean and tidy condition and simply looks stunning. This is just a excellent original uk stereo first pressing that will definitely not disappoint.

This 'Steamhammer' album has just been professionally cleaned on a Moth MK.11 vacuum record cleaning machine, the vinyl comes in a brand new poly-lined inner sleeve with sticker attached with cleaning service details. The new poly-lined and the original paper inner will shipped to the winning bidder.

THICK STEREO VINYL = EX to EX+

This 'Steamhammer' album has just been professionally cleaned on a Moth MK.11 vacuum record cleaning machine, the vinyl comes in a brand new poly-lined inner sleeve with sticker attached with cleaning service details. The new and the original paper inner will shipped to the winning bidder.

The thick stereo vinyl is visually in EX to EX+ condition, both sides are very clean with a nice original sheen with just light signs of careful play. There are certainly no nasty scuffs or scratches or any other noticeable surface marks to cause any problems, at first glance this album still looks close to new, when studied you will only find some very light top surface hairlines and some very tiny light top surface scuffs, all of which have no affect on play. This album plays and sounds superb throughout with just the tiniest amount of occasional light background crackle and just the very occasional sporadic static pop, there are only a few pops on the entire album. There really are no bad surface marks at all so there are no areas with continuous clicks or pops or annoying loud crackle. This album has been well looked after and only rarely played on a decent turntable so there is no lessoning in the sound quality, all tracks play and sound very near faultless with a really excellent clean and clear sound quality that is free of distortion or any other audible faults. This is just a brilliant clean playing original uk stereo pressing that will not disappoint in any way.

ORANGE CBS LABELS = EX

Both labels are in excellent clean and tidy condition with just a few light spindle traces on each due to careful play.

E.J. DAY MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE = EX+

The inside center-loading matt gatefold sleeve was made and printed in the uk by E.J. Day Co.Ltd, London. This gatefold cover is in excellent+ condition inside and out with no bad flaws at all, there is nothing more than some extremely light creasing otherwise this E.J. Day cover is very near perfect. The edges are nice and straight and the spine is excellent with all text clear and easy to read. This matt gatefold cover is in really superb condition and shows barely any traces of wear or handling at all and like the vinyl it too will also not disappoint.

I pack my records very well, the album will be removed from the outer cover to avoid seem/edge splits in transit, plenty of rigid cardboard support will be used to avoid corners bending, this album will reach you in the same condition as advertised.
