UK ULTIMATE 1ST STEREO PRESSING
ORIGINAL AND RARE 1965 UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING.
WE ARE PLEASED TO OFFER FOR SALE ONE OF THE RAREST EXAMPLES OF THIS IST UK STEREO VERSION THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. A GENUINE 1ST ISSUE COPY WHICH FEATURES ALL KNOWN LABEL AND SLEEVE ERROR'S.
WHEN VERY 1ST ISSUED THIS ALBUM FEATURED A TOTAL OF FIVE KNOWN ERROR'S.
FIRSTLY THE LABELS FEATURED THE INCORRECT JOBETE CREDIT FOR "MONEY" (THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOMINION BELINDA) SECONDLY THE TRACK LISTING WAS INCORRECTLY LISTED AS "I REALLY GOTTA HOLD ON YOU" (THIS SHOULD HAVE READ "I REALLY GOT A HOLD.......) AND THIRDLY AND THE RAREST ERROR, THE CREDIT FOR "I REALLY GOT A HOLD ON YOU" SHOULD READ "DOMINION" BUT WAS INCORRECTLY PRINTED AS "DOMION".
ALSO THE ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE SLEEVES FEATURED TWO KNOWN ERROR'S... FIRSTLY THE TRACK LISTING WAS AGAIN INCORRECTLY PRINTED AS "GOTTA" AND ALSO THE FRONT PICTURE WAS PRINTED SO DARK THAT THE FACES OF THE BAND WHERE ALMOST COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT, THIS WAS QUICKLY CHANGED TO A LIGHTER VERSION.
THIS COPY FEATURES ALL FIVE OF THESE ERRORS.
AS PREVIOUSLY STATED THE RAREST OF ALL THESE ERROR'S IS THE INCORRECT SPELLING OF "DOMION", VERY FEW LABELS WHERE PRESSED WITH THIS ERROR AND THESE COPIES SELDOM SURFACE FOR SALE.
ALSO THIS UNIQUE COPY UNUSUALLY HAS NO STAMPER NUMBERS TO THE RUN OUT GROOVE. IT DOES CARRY GA & RD STAMPER LETTERS BUT NO NUMBERS!
PCS 3045

THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE IN STUNNING CONDITION. WHEN EXAMINED CLOSELY AND THROUGHLY UNDER A STRONG LIGHT THERE ARE NO MORE THAN ONE LIGHT SPINDLE MARK VISIBLE ON EITHER SIDE, THE LABELS ARE PERFECT WITH STRONG, BOLD LETTERING AND STILL DISPLAY THEIR ORIGINAL DEEP BLACK COLOUR. THERE IS NO FADING OR RUBBING EVIDENT AND THEY LOOK SUPERB!..... LABELS FEATURE "JOBETE" "GOTTA" & "DOMION" ERRORS
THE GLOSSY HEAVIER WEIGHT VINYL APPEARS MINT IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT AND ONLY WHEN IT IS CLOSELY EXAMINED UNDER A STRONG LIGHT IS IT POSSIBLE TO DETECT JUST LIGHT BUT WISPY SURFACE MARKS AND A FEW SIGNS OF PLAY . THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DULLING OR OTHER IMPERFECTIONS TO THE PLAYING SURFACE.
AUDIO IS FLAWESS, PRISTINE AND IMMACULATE THROUGHOUT. DURING ONE CAREFUL PLAY BY MYSELF (AND THIS COULD BE ITS ONLY EVER PLAY) I DID NOT DETECT ANY DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, BOTH RUN IN/OUT GROOVES ARE SILENT AS ARE ALL TRACK GROOVES, EVEN THE QUIETER PARTS OF THE AUDIO ARE FREE FROM ANY INTERRUPTION
THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT EMITEX INNER IS PRESENT AND IS SUPERB WITH JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING AND THE INEVITABLE CREASES WHERE THE VINYL HAS SAT IN THE SLEEVE, IT ALSO HAS "PCS 3045" NEATLY WRITTEN TO TOP CORNER WHICH ENSURES THAT THIS IS THE ORIGINAL INNER.
THE OUTER GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE "PATENTS PENDING" SLEEVE IS A STRONG EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.THE SLEEVE DISPLAYS SOME SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING. THERE ARE LIGHT EDGE WRINKLES PRESENT AND THE ODD LIGHT CREASE . THE FRONT ISEXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN, GLOSSY AND WITH NO RINGWEAR PRESENT. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL STRAIGHT BUT HAS A SYMPATHTIC REPAIR TO A PREVIOUS TEAR (SEE PICTURE). THERE ARE MINOR CORNER BUMPS PRESENT. THE REAR IS SUPERB AND IT ONLY DISPLAYS THE ODD SIGN OF AGE AND AGAIN THERE IS NO RINGWEAR PRESENT. ALL THREE FLIPBACKS LIE PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO CREASES AND JUST A HINT OF HANDLING EVIDENT TO THE BOTTOM FLIPBACK.. THE SPINE IS PERFECT WITH PERFECT WORDING AND THERE IS NO WEAR PRESENT. ALL WORDING IS PRISTINE...
OVERALL A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE AND VERY COLLECTABLE UK STEREO WHICH FEATURES ALL THE ESSENTIAL VERY IST ISSUE CRITERIA.... WITH ALL POSSIBLE KNOWN ERRORS AND THE UNUSUAL ADDITION OF NO STAMPER LETTERS THIS COPY WILL CERTAINLY APPEAL TO ALL COMPLETISTS!
