**INCREDIBLY EARLY 1st PRESSING HERE**
"PORKY / PURPLE PECKIE" etched into both run-out grooves....Showing this to be the very 1st pressing.
The Vinyl:
EX+
QUALITY 124g
BARELY PLAYED slab of quality vinyl here!
I have just finished playing her all the way through -LOUDLY- and WOW, what an audio reproduction...Wonderfully clear, providing deep, DEEP bass and screetchingly high, highs! The keyboard on Rat Bat Blue was exquisite as they ran from left to right on my speakers (making my eays go left to right, to follow the keys ;)!
I can only see a few very feint marks on the vinyl-nothing at all to affect playback.
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN.
SUPERB
The Labels:
EX+.
The spindle marks are only visible when angled towards the light, where I spotted a handfull of light marks-but only when angled.
ALL ORIGINAL BRIGHT WHITE 'P' ON THEIR OWN DEEP PURPLE LABELS.
The labels show this to be the very 1st press as they have the rim text statement satrting with "The Gramaphone Co. Ltd..."
FRAME THIS BABY-AFTER LISTENING TO HER!
The Sleeve:
EX+
Again, as with the vinyl-this is a very 1st print run of this gatefold sleeve. It is laminated to the back and the front.
To the inside panel is the statement "File Under POPULAR: Pop Groups"
Made by Garrod & Lofthouse.
SIMPLY PUT-FRAME THIS BEAUTY!!
I have never seen a 1st edition of this sleeve in such simply magical condition! FULLY LAMINATED-with just a few tiny fingers of spidering emanating from the spine...That really is all!
The spine remains strong and perfectly legible.
The corners are just very gently rubbed.
The white card in the middle is still white.
IT IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN AND IS TRULEY A VAULT COPY.
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES AND CLICK ON THEM FOR MORE DETAIL-WHY NOT HAVE A LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK FOR HONEST GRADINGS AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS...
The Insert:
EX.
It is the ORIGINAL insert - Purple to the front and blank white to the back.
At some point this has been pined, very carefully, to the wall as there is one small pin hole to each corner....Other than that, it is in wonderful condition!
The Inner:
Near Mint!
ALL ORIGINAL die-cut EMI Inner. With the poly-lining still intact, which is why this album has survived so well after all of these years.
"MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN"
AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS YOU'D EXPECT TO GET AFTER 40+ YEARS!!
So, PURPLE HEADS...YOU REALLY CAN'T DO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS COPY!!
ALL COMPLETE
VERY 1st PRESSING
THE BEST COVER I HAVE EVER SEEN
SUPERB AUDIO
GRAB HIS BABY WITH BOTH HANDS AS THEY DON'T TURN UP IN THIS CONDITION VERY OFTEN
SIMPLY PUT-AN UPGRADE!
