Description

An original 1st press on the Purple label from '72. Matrix 1/1/1/1 [al the 1's]. Etchings 'Porkie/Pecko etc'."Gramophone" in perimeter text. Noticeably heavy this copy is built to last and has only seen light use. Demand was high at 1st issue and some copies were contracted-out and not pressed by EMI [like this example]. Don't let that put you off - every contract pressing I've ever tested has played as good or better than the EMI ones! They made an extremely good job of the audio. And why would you want to compromise on this all time classic live album? The contract-out copies will show stamper "3" at 9 o'clock and also exhibit a dip in the label. Genuine inners from the time too. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) In beautiful condition having seen only light use. Under close inspection I could only make out a couple of very lightest marks per side - nothing troublesome though. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback with a couple of slight deviations. Intros and inbetweens are beautifully quiet and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. Playing really clean even into those quieter passages. There are some very low-key noodling passages - only a really well preserved example will manage these cleanly. All I could detect was a few crackles in, perhaps, just two isolated spots across the whole of four sides. That's an extremely good strike rate. A cracker of a copy. Lazy live is absolutely amazing. Listen those individual hand claps in the crowd. Wait for the hi-pitch organ/synth to whir in against a perfectly quiet background. Listen to some incredible riffola by Blackmore. A super standard throughout.. Why compromise on one of the greatest of all time live albums.
Cover (Ex-/Vg+) In very nice condition with just a couple of minor blemishes front and back. The interior looks impeccable. Firm openings and only light edge wear here and there. Text on spine is 95% intact - with a couple of stress creases. The cover retains excellent rigidity. 
Inners (Vg+) Light ageing. No splits.
