Description
DEEP PURPLE "Come Taste The Band" UK 1st PRESS Nr MINT
GLOSSY GF w/LYRIC INNER, 1 PLAY, SUPERB AUDIO, TOP COPY
DEEP PURPLE
Come Taste The Band
ORIGINAL UK EMI/PURPLE RECORDS (TPSA 7515) FIRST PRESSING (October 1975) OF DEEP PURPLE'S "Come Taste The Band" - IN BEAUTIFUL, ONCE PLAYED CONDITION (the labels show only one light spindle trace on Side Two - none on Side One) AND THE AUDIO DELIVERY IS SENSATIONAL THROUGHOUT (with a fantastic cut) - A BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN PRESSING - GREAT COPY OF THIS SUPERB LP AND THEY DON'T COME MUCH BETTER THAN THIS - VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED INDEED
PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE EMI/PURPLE LABELS
MATRIX: TPSA 7515 A-1U (stamped "KENDUN") / TPSA 7515 B-1U (stamped "KENDUN")
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 3/LP and 2/HH
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL DEEPLY GLOSSY FULLY LAMINATED (inside and outside) GATEFOLD SLEEVE "Made and printed in Great Britain" - THERE ARE NO ACTUAL PRINTERS CREDITS BUT THE SLEEVE HAS ALL THE HALLMARKS OF A GARROD & LOFTHOUSE PRINT
AND COMES COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER SLEEVE (printed on textured paper with the characteristic first issue square cut corner)
Track Listing:
Side 1: Comin' Home / Lady Luck / Gettin' Tighter / Dealer / Need Love
Side 2: Drifter / Love Child / (a) This Time Around , (b) Owed To 'G' (instrumental) / You Keep On Moving
LABELS: The labels are clean and bright with no unwanted marks/writing and just one light spindle on Side Two (none on Side One) - Side One may have been played just the one time and Side Two not at all - MINT-
VINYL Visual: The vinyl still retains its original deep, like new, glossy sheen and is practically unmarked (there are some scuff/ hairlines on the edge of Side One but these have no audio consequence) - EXCELLENT+/NEAR MINT
VINYL Audio: Sensational audio on this first pressing - beautifully recorded and engineered with an incredibly strong, rich, warm and vibrant sound and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing and how this LP really needs to be heard) there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps and no loud clicks or pops (just some minor light ticks (not continuous) on the quiet bass/percussion intro to "You Keep On Moving" - very minor - this is still just about the cleanest pressing I have heard). The sound quality is sensationally strong throughout and the whole LP plays to an extremely high standard with all frequencies bright, no groove-wear and no distortion (it's hardly been played) and is critically graded a NEAR MINT for audio, as apart from the few aforementioned minor light 'ticks', it's flawless - great copy
SLEEVE: The fully laminated gatefold sleeve is also in superb condition - clean, unmarked, factory-fresh and practically as new. The surfaces have a beautiful deep glass-like glossy sheen with no rubbing, the edges are crisp and sharp with no wear and the spine is straight and true with all text clear and bold - beautiful sleeve - the only thing which prevents a full MINT grading are two little 'bumps' to the corners (very minor) - NEAR MINT
LYRIC INNER: The lyric inner sleeve is clean, bright and unmarked with just a small side split (2cms) and the beginnings of a tiny bottom split (1cm). These inners are virtually impossible to find without some degree of splitting (which commonly occurs in transit from the factory to the shop) otherwise, this one is beautifully clean and fresh - EXCELLENT. The LP is now housed - and will be posted in - a new inner (with anti-static liner) to prevent anymore 'knifing' damage to the original during transit

Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period.

Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers
