DEEP PURPLE MACHINE HEAD G/F UK-72 1ST STEREO INSERT * MINT * TPSA 7504 

Gramophone text, A1-U, B1-U

Impossibly rare in this condition. I was stunned when I took it out of the sleeve.

DISC/S: MINT. Vinyl looks unplayed. No mold, no lines, no scuffs, no residue, no dust, perfect original GLOSS.  

LABELS: NM. Near perfect labels. See photos. Note the sharp spindle holes and full colour. You cannot see it in the photo but there is one faint spindle line on side 2, so NM not MINT.

Earliest possible original UK pressing.

Matrix: TPSA 7504 A -1U /  TPSA 7504 B -1U  

Mothers: HA  / HG 

POSTER & INNER: Both original. Poster looks flat and clean with one faint fold line on one corner only, have to grade it EX+, and inner is the original Made in Great Britain polyliner with Patent Nos. 1125555 and 1072844. Inner has no tears but some discolouration which is unavoidable in this damp country on acid-free paper, and a strong indication of authenticity; so I grade it VG+. Also I always clean every disc no matter how they look on a Loricraft RCM 4 and then place the disc into a brand new anti-static inner. I suggest you also remove any static with an anti-static gun on arrival. 

SLEEVE: EX+, stiff and strong original Patent No. 1224339 1972 Garrod & Lofthouse  laminated gatefold, clean all sides, minor wear, a few small laminate creases and very tiny amount of laminate lift in place, very slight rubbing on opening slit (perfectly acceptable and to be expected from 40 year old G&L sleeves, any sleeve without this age is a bit suspicious in my book!). 

AUDIO GRADE: Perfect audio. Final upgrade here folks.
