Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Deep Purple called "Machine Head" and is an ORIGINAL 1972 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Purple label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE PURPLE LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'LYRIC' INSERT (SO OFTEN MISSING!)!!!! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS AN ULTRA RARE 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSING!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! 'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN A HUNDRED COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!), AND WERE ONLY EVER USED FOR 'IN-HOUSE' USE BY EMI / PURPLE THEMSELVES (FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES), OR VERY OCCASSIONALLY ONE WAS GIVEN OUT TO 'IMPORTANT VISITORS' TO THE FACTORY - SUCH AS PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS FOR EXAMPLE!!!! THEY WERE NEARLY ALWAYS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE (AS IN THIS CASE!) - AND ARE OF THE UTMOST RARITY!!!! BARELY ANY 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE EVER MADE - MAKING THIS THE RAREST & 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER!!!!

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! THE RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL (ONLY TWO OR THREE TIMES AT THE VERY MOST!) AND IS IN AMAZING CONDITION, THE INNER SLEEVE IS SIMPLY STUNNING, THE ULTRA RARE 'LYRIC' INSERT IS IN AWESOME CONDITION, AND THE GATEFOLD COVER IS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THE ORIGINAL 1972 UK 1ST PRESSING ON 1ST PRESS PURPLE LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1U/1U MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 'LYRIC' INSERT, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' GATEFOLD LAMINATED COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Purple UK 1st Pressing from 1972 and is in AWESOME condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is TPSA 7504 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Purple label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in AWESOME condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AWESOME!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade MINT(Minus)!!!! AWESOME RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in AWESOME condition!!!! THE ULTRA RARE 'LYRIC' INSERT IS IN AWESOME CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASNT EVER LEFT THE COVER!!!! The 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Gatefold Laminated Cover is in AWESOME condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour!), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), STUNNING shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the inside of the cover is in AWESOME condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Excellent++++ if not better!!!! AWESOME COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
