Deep Purple G1/G1 Self Titled 1st press Gramophone Rims UK A1/B1
SHVL 759
Very First pressing with laminated gatefold sleeve.
It should not be ignored how hard it is to find the very first of all the first pressings, G1/G1 are generally found on test pressings and promo's so to find it on a finished album is hard.
If you do not know what G1/G1 means, it related to the plates used to press the vinyl and all EMI related companies (which Harvest was) all start with G1/G1 during this period, as those pressing plates wore out the next set would have different stampers on.
Also included is the original Poly Lined inner sleeve from the late 60's.

I have played the record through both sides and the audio is Great, there are some light crackles in between the tracks and on occasions through some of the music but it is not obtrusive and is much more noticeable at the end of the sides.
I would visually grade both sides as Good (Harsh visual grading) and whilst there are some light marks they certainly do not cause the record to jump or stick and to be fair I did not hear hardly any clicks or pops at all.
This is the first time this record has been played for at least 30 years so may perform even better with a deep clean.
The sleeve still retains the gloss from the laminate but does show some wear to the corners. This overall a presentable sleeve but due to the corners I grade this as Very Good.
The inner sleeve with patent numbers and "MADE IN ENGLAND 087" is in excellent condition.
