ELMER GANTRY'S VELVET OPERA

THIS IS A VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, WHICH I AM SLOWLY SELLING. THESE ARE VERY HARD TO COME ACROSS AND THERE IS NO RESERVE !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS :: A1  ::  B2 .

ON THE YELLOW AND BLACK DIRECTION LABEL :: S 8-63300 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS, AS IT IS FRONT LAMINATED !! THE SPINE AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE SOLID AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO ISSUES. THE SPINE HAS SHELF WEAR THE FULL LENGTH ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT AND ONLY A FEW LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES :: THE BACK HAS SOME PAPER LOSS ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND SOME WRITING TOP RIGHT CORNER AND A STAIN DOWN THE SPINE EDGE ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO FOR BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION ) THERE ARE NO OTHER ISSUES AND A SHAME ABOUT THE PAPER LOSS ON THE BACK. THERE ARE NO OTHER ISSUES AND I WOULD GRADE :: VG . DUE TO THE PAPER LOSS OTHERWISE HIGHER. THIS IS STILL A VERY NICE ORIGINAL COVER EVEN WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED !!

VINYL :: VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE QUITE A FEW SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND A FEW FINE HAIRLINES, AND WHEN ANGLED AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THESE ALL DISAPPEAR SHOWING THAT THEY ARE ALL COSMETIC AND THAT THERE ARE NO NASTY MARKS OR SCRATCHES SO NO AUDIO PROBLEMS. DUE TO THE RARITY OF THIS ALBUM I WILL DESCRIBE TRACK BY TRACK>>>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 3 :: HAS A BIT OF VERY FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY START FOR ONLY A FEW SECONDS. 

TRACK 4  :: PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 5 :: HAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE START THEN A FEW VERY FAINT TICKS A BIT FURTHER IN. 

TRACK 6 :: PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES.

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 2 :: HAS ONE SOFT POP AT THE END .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 5 :: HAS A FEW FAINT TICKS JUST AFTER THE START .

TRACK 6 :: PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES .

ALL SOUNDS A LOT BUT IF YOU GO BACK AND READ IT AGAIN, IT IS NOT MUCH OVER THE WHOLE ALBUM. THERE IS NOTHING LOUD OR INTRUSIVE, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU NOTHING TO SPOIL THIS AMAZING RARE ALBUM !!! I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  EX/EX- . AND IN NO WAY WILL YOU BE DISAPPOINTED !!!

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN BUT THERE IS SOME LIGHT FOXING AND A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT :: EX- .

INNER :: NO WRITING AND WITH ONLY A TINY SEAM SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE ON ONE SIDE EDGE ::  VG+ .

VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS. THE AUDIO IS VERY ENJOYABLE AND THERE IS NOTHING TO SPOIL YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE. ORIGINAL COVER, AND ON THE ORIGINAL DIRECTION LABEL !!! THIS IS A BRILLIANT ALBUM AND WILL BE SADLY MISSED. BUT IT IS TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO ENJOY IT !!!!THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
