Description
Yes - Close To The Edge ( 1972 UK Atlantic A1/B1 FULLY textured very first pressing. K50012 ). Here's a beautiful example of the one that all serious YES vinyl collectors all desperately want still !..... A1/B1 is THE ONLY way to hear this classic. Sounds totally different to all subsequent versions either analogue or digital. Much warmer and more dynamic from the original first generation master tape. Hence the reason collectors have been paying a lot of money for this !... Beautiful FULLY textured ( inside and outside gatefold as only on first pressing runs ) leather effect cover is still very smart indeed. Usually always badly rubbed this one has only minimal bottom edge rubbing . Very very light indeed. As good as you will find on this soft cover. Clear fully readable spine. Nice crisp clean opening edges. No tears stains or writing anywhere. Silver outline on the front titles ( only on first pressings ). No ringwear or spine creases. A true beauty !. EXCELLENT PLUS. Original dark green lyric inner bag is present also. Very clean. Only one corner has some diagonal corner creasing. Still a nice EXCELLENT. DARK green and DARK orange ( only on the first generation A1/B1 ) labels show practically no signs of use and the colours are still vibrant and clean . No WEA references of course. EXCELLENT PLUS. Medium weight vinyl lies flat and true on the platter. Beautiful gleaming playing surfaces on both sides. Only very light sleeve removal traces only seen under harsh direct spotlight. Wonderful loud dynamic warm audio that you will ONLY hear on the A1/B1 very first pressings. Well worth paying the extra to obtain this. Investment piece for sure !. A fantastic acquisition for the serious YES collector. Disc is : EXCELLENT PLUS. Gradings as per : Record Collector Grading System definitions . Dealer/collector since 1974. All items guaranteed. All photos are of actual item for sale. No Paypal charges passed on to customers . Worldwide customers very welcome however please bear in mind that customs delays in Russia are currently up to two months. Any questions please get in touch. Thanks. Gordon.
