Description

An original 1st mono issue of BFS on UK Parlophone. Matrix 4N/3N [earliest 1st pressing is 3N/3N]. The labels exhibit 'Parlophone' and 'recording 1st pub' as you would expect at 1st issue. This LP would have been on sale during the Xmas winter period Dec64 to Jan65 - whilst this album was still charting. It's certainly worth going for the early copies - it will guarantee you a better pressing. The vinyl comes housed in an original mono gatefold. We also have the original Emitex inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex) A lovely looking copy that has clearly only seen light use. Check out those labels! There are a couple of very light marks per side. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, EXCELLENT level of playback. Lovely quiet intros and inbetweens and the audio comes across with superb clarity. Really superb audio integrity and has clearly only seen light use. It's got a very delicate adept delivery - with hardly a whiff of background. Maybe a couple of crackles in a couple of spots per side - now that is an excellent strike rate on this title. Moonlight and Sun on side 1 are very tricky low-key tracks. They will play with a bit of background on most copies - but not here! The tracks play clean as a whistle - which is unusual. A couple of crackles in a couple of isolated spots per side. Very impressive throughout.
Cover (Vg+) A really difficult one to source in decent condition due to the way it was designed. But this example is still looking pretty dapper. That front is usually knackered - but it's looking well preserved with just a couple of creases. The rear looks real nice with just a couple of creases. The interior is looking real nice - just a touch of lightest ageing on the flipbacks. Edge wear is relatively light. The spine is about average with all text fully legible. There is wear more noticeable at the top and bottom. Overall the cover retains very good rigidity.
Inner (Vg+) Light ageing. One edge has split and been taped up.
