Caravan: If I had to do it all over again, I’d do it all over you DECCA SKL 5052 UK
This is the mega rare original FIRST pressing of this great album with the even rarer WITHDRAWN cover that has the title mis-printed on the spine and the back…The first few hundred copies of this album left the pressing plant with the title mis-printed , the mistake was soon spotted and corrected….ONLY those have seen the daylight that were sold prior to being taken back from stores and destroyed….there you go, you’re looking at a true rarity – in the last 40+ years this is actually the VERY first copy I’ve ever seen and held in my hands..
cover: front-laminated cover printed by Robert Stace… front is superb clean and tidy, between MINT- and EX++ with few VERY small creases along the spine and one on the top edge..back is nice and clean with light rubbing, otherwise nice and WHITE,no issues .... the spine is square,clean and uncrushed with all the text clearly visible without any missing letters.. opening edges are nice and straight without signs of heavy use..…no rips,tears,splits or any other damages....
record,visual: nice and clean EX++ with VERY light sleeve removal surface hairlines,none of these are audible at all….the labels have SKL-R 5052 on both sides so this is probaly a slightly later pressing that the cover - however, the matrix endings are 2W/4W which denote first pressing.....it still retains it’s beautiful original sheen and it looks VERY NEAR NEW
record,audio: THE ENTIRE RECORD HAS BEEN TESTPLAYED FROM BEGINNING TO END - THE AUDIO IS GREAT WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT SOUND WITHOUT ANY SINGS OF GROOVEWEAR,WITH GREAT DELIVERY AND STEREO IMAGE…NO LOUD POPS/CLICKS OR ANY OTHER BACKGROUND NOISES, PLAYS GREAT..
labels: AS CLEAN AS IT COULD BE with 1-2 VERY LIGHT spindle hole marks on side A only…ZAL-9752-2W and ZAL-9753-4W matrix numbers.. no tears,stamps or any other damages...

VINYL WILL FIRST BE INSPECTED VISUALLY VERY CAREFULLY UNDER STRONG LIGHT..I DON'T HAVE TIME TO PLAY EVERY SINGLE RECORD FROM START TO END ( WHO DOES ? ) - HOWEVER,I TESTPLAY SKIPPING THROUGH TRACKS ON BOTH SIDES ( INCLUDING RUN-IN,RUN-OUT GROOVES AND THE SPACES BETWEEN TRACKS ) TO CHECK THE OVERALL PLAYBACK QUALITY.
