This is the original form of the release, it has solid light blue prism LP picture labels with silver lettering, later forms have an empty prism. It has an orignal blue-tinged gatefold sleeve. Delivered with 2 posters and 2 stickers.
The Gramophone Co. text starts at 10 o clock on label.
A-2/B-2 matrix stamps appear in the runout area.
There is a distinct bluish tint/tinge in the black ink of the cover.
The right front opening of the gatefold cover is not sealed.
VISUAL CONDITION
This record comes with the 2 posters, inner sleeve and postcards.
The sleeve is in very good shape, some shelf or ring wear but light. Please see the pictures : you buy exactly what you see.
Barely one or two hairlines visible on Side 1 3 ticks on track A1, nothing more . Side 2 is quite immaculate : hardly some faint marks due to inner removal under strong light.
The LP is really in near mint visual condition and in greater shape than the cover or the inner they are in very good condition .
Matrix and stampers :
SOUND
This is for me the most important point. The sound is one of the best I have heard I own several copies of this issue . No distorsion or hisses.
Only very very occasional background noise on low level passages few seconds at the start of side one for example as on quite every copy of this LP .
The LP plays perfectly on both sides from start to end. No jumps or skips not concerned by the skip issue sometimes present on the track Money on the A2 / B2 pressings .
If you are looking for an LP to listen to and not only collect then THIS ONE IS FOR YOU.
All the tracks play fine, without any problems, skip or repeating noise only 3 tics on track A1 due to 1 hairline .
SHIPPING
Shipping with tracking number and LP carefully packed the LP will be in a separate MoFi inner antistatic sleeve .
The LP has been washed on my personal KLAUDIO ultrasonic washing machine.
Please feel free to ask questions before bidding. I can provide pictures or short videos with sound.
