Description

An original Mono 1st press of THE SECOND on the UK Stateside label from 1968. Matrix A-1G/B-1G. Stampers 1-R/1-R - putting it within the first 1,000 copies ever pressed. The heavy set vinyl comes house in an original mono cover printed by Garrod & Lofthouse with flipbacks.
Vinyl (Ex-) Looks in really nice condition and has only seen light use. Under close inspection there are a couple of light marks either side - nothing troublesome though. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a NEAR EXCELLENT level of playback. Intros and inbetwens are quiet and the audio comes across with great clarity. Interference is only light and pretty infrequent. You'll only notice a bit of light static in a couple of the quieter tracks - nothing remotely invasive. As one of the last Mono copies to roll of the presses it's a testament to how great the format was at resolving sound. Being so close to the original masters is, no doubt, also helping here..
Cover (Vg+) In very nice condition and has been cared for down the years. Nice shiny front with only a couple of creases. The rear, as is so often the case, is exhibiting a bit of ageing and a few creases - nothing unsightly though. Please note there's a name in the top-left. Edge wear is reasonably light except for a 1 inch section on the bottom seam where it has worn through. Overall the cover retains very good rigidity.


Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
