The "Angry" Young THEM !
MONO

PLAYS LOVELY AND CERTAINLY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT !!!!
THIS WAS A VERY BIG DECISION TO PUT UP FOR AUCTION, AS HERE IS A VERY RARE CHANCE TO GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS EARLIEST UK 1ST PRESS. WHEN RELEASED, ON THE BACK OF THE COVER ABOVE THE DECCA LOGO BOX, PRODUCTION WAS CREDITED TO JUST, 'TOMMY SCOTT', BUT ALMOST IMMEDIATLEY AFTER RELEASE THE COVERS WERE REPRINTED, AND ADDED 'BERT BERNS', AND DICK ROWE, TO THE PRODUCTION, SO ONLY A FEW GOT RELEASED WITH JUST, 'TOMMY SCOTT' AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ORIGINAL EARLIEST COVERS. ALSO PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER, AND 2nd AND 3rd STAMPERS, AND EARLIEST LABELS, WHICH WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW !!!!

THIS IS 'THEM' AND THE LAUNCH OF MR VAN MORRISON. FORMED IN BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND IN APRIL 1964, THIS IS THEIR FIRST, AND BRILLIANT DEBUT ALBUM, AND IF YOU LOVE YOUR RHYTHM AND BLUES, GARAGE ROCK, AND BLUES ROCK, THEN THIS IS CERTAINLY A MUST HAVE. AS THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSES I KNOW IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ANOTHER, SO ANOTHER VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND ONE HELL OF AN ALBUM !!!!    DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL EARLIEST 1965 UK 1ST PRESS :: ARL-6819-4A  ::  ARL-6820-3A .
PRESSED OF THE FIRST MOTHER, WITH 2nd AND 3rd STAMPERS  ::  1  U  ::  1  C .

ON THE EARLIEST DEEP GROOVED UNBOXED RED DECCA LABEL, WITH THE N.C.B BOX ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF  LABEL 2 ONLY  ::  LK.4700 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL RARE EARLIEST NON FLIPBACK, WITH 'PRODUCED BY TOMMY SCOTT', ABOVE THE DECCA LOGO ON THE BACK, SO THERE WERE NOT MANY RELEASED LIKE THIS, BEFORE 'BERT BERNS' AND 'DICK ROWE' WERE ADDED !!!! ALSO PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY JAMES UPTON Ltd, BIRMINGHAM & LONDON. THE FRONT IS IN GREAT CONDITION, WITH NO LAMINATE LIFT, JUST A FEW SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND A BIT OF VERY FAINT RING WEAR SEEN ONLY WHEN THE COVER IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY UNDER LIGHT. SUPERB SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND JUST A COUPLE OF WRAP AROUND LAMINATE CREASE LINES. THE BACK IS FREE FROM WRITING, BUT DOES HAVE SOME AGEING, SO I THINK IT IS BEST TO LOOK AT THE PHOTO FOR A FAR BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU. SO WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP, I WOULD GRADE A VERY NICE  :: VG+ .

VINYL :: THE AUDIO PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, NO CRACKLE, STATIC, AND IN FACT NO CLICKS, OR POPS, SO AWSOME AUDIO !!!! DUE TO THE RARETY OF THIS VINYL I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK DESCRIPTION OF THE AUDIO.........

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 4 :: ONE FAINT TICK TOWARDS THE END .

ONE FAINT TICK BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 5 :: TWO VERY FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .

TRACK 6 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 7 :: TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: ONE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 2 :: TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION . 

ONE FAINT TICK BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 5 :: ONE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 6 :: ONE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 7 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

SO AS YOU CAN SEE JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS, AND THEY ARE IN NO WAY INTRUSIVE AND DO NOT SPOIL YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE !!!!

VISUALLY 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s HEAVYWEIGHT DECCA VINYL. SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE AND I AM GOING TO PLAY IT SAFE AND GRADE THE AUDIO, A WELL DESERVED  :: EX .

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, AND WITH THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS LABELS, JUST SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE  :: EX .

POLYLINED INNER  ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST A BIT OF LIGHT CORNER CREASING, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE  :: VG+/EX- .

A BLAST BACK TO THE 1960's AND I THINK ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS FROM THAT ERA, PLAYS WELL AND AS DESCRIBED, SO CERTAINLY ONE NOT TO MISS !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
