PLUM AND RED LABEL. GENUINE FIRST PRESSING
WITHOUT A DOUBT A SUPERB LP RECORDING MADE BY 4 OF THE MOST TALENTED MUSICIANS ALIVE.
THIS LIVE PERFORMANCE IS IN MY OPINION THE BEST RECORDING MADE BY THIS BAND.
GETTING HOLD OF A GENUINE FIRST PRESSING IN SUCH IMMACULATE CONDITION IS A REAL JOY.
THE SLEEVE
A NON- LAMINATED GATEFLD SLEEVEWHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE SLEEVE RETAINS ITS VIBRANT COLOURS ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF SHELF WEAR IN THE FORM OF A FEW LIGHT CREASE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND A LITTLE RING WEAR.
A DIFFIVULT SLEEVE TO FIND IN PRISTINE CONDITION AS THE NON LAMINATED SURFACE IS VULNERABLE TO WEAR OF THIS SORT. HOWEVER HAVING SAID THAT IT IS STILL I GREAT CONDITION AND JUSTIFIES AN EX GRADE
THE ORIGINAL DOUBLE PAGE LYRIC SHEET IS INCLUDED, AND IS IN TOP CONDITION
THE VINYL
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. IT IS CLEAR FROM THE SECOND YOU LOOK AT AND THEN HANDLE THESE DISCS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR. FIRSTLY THE LABELS ARE IN NMINT CONDITION. NO SPINDLE HOLE WEAR AT ALL, AND THE SPIDER LINES TOTAL ABOUT 3 ON EACH SIDE, WHICH WOULD INDICATE THAT THE LP'S HAVE HAD VERY FEW PLAYS, AND THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ALSO VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE MEANS THAT THE DISCS WERE HANDLED WITH CARE AND ACCURACY.
FIRST PRESSING VINYL IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO BE TREASURED AS IT THE NEAREST PRESS YOU WILL GET TO THE MOTHER RECORDING.
THESE SURFACE OF THE DISCS GIVES THAT "AS NEW "GLOSS AND CLEANLINESS. I CANNOT SPOT ANY HANDLING MARKS UNDER DAYLIGHT, AND ONLY ONE OR TWO INSIGNIFICANT ONES UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION.
AS USUAL MY FIRST TEST IS TO PUMP THE VOLUME UP TO SEE OR RATHER HEAR IF THERE IS ANY DISTORTION CAUSED BY GREEVE WEAR. THERE IS NONE, AND I AM ALSO HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THE RUN IN GROOVE IS SILENT. ALL OF WHICH BODES WELL FOR THE REST OF THE REVIEW. HAVING NOT HEARD THIS LP FOR MANY YEARS I WAS REMINDED OVER THE COURSE OF LISTENING TO IT, AND PARTICULARLY ON SIDES 3 AND 4 WHAT GREAT MUSICIANS THESE GUYS WERE. SIDE 4 COULD WELL HAVE BEEN RECORDED BY CLAPTON OR HENDRIX, SUCH IS THE GUITAR MASTERY. SOMETIMES LIVE RECORDINGS ARE APOT LUCK AFFAIR WITH PRODUCTION AND THE MIX, BUT THIS HAS BEEN EXPERTLY RECORDED AND THE PRODUCTION, MIX AND STEREO SPLIT IS JUST SUPERB.I HAVE ENJOYED LISTENING TO EVERY MINUTE OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM.
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE AS SILENT AS THE RUN IN, AND DUE TO THE MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM IT IS VITAL THAT THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE.
THE PRESSING IS INCREDIBLE, NO NASTY UNWANTED BACKGROUND ANYWHERE, AND THE ONLY OTHER SOUNDS I HEARD WAS A COUPLE OF LIGH POPS ON ONE OR TWO OCCASIONS THROUGHOUT THE 4 SIDES.
THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A COLLECTIBLE GRADE VINYL OFFERING AND WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING, AND EASILY JUSTIFIES IT'S MINT MINUS GRADE.
IT'S SUPERB
