LABEL / LABELCODE MATRIX NUMBERS EXTRAS GRADING RCA NEON 10 AGBS0688 1E & 0689 2E Matt Laminated Gatefold Cover VG+/VG++ DESCRIPTION Metropolis was composed during 1968-9. It had been played in various forms by bands ranging from 4 to 25 musicians. This version for big-band was written with the assistance of an Arts Council bursary and was first presented by the London Jazz Centre Society at the Mermaid Theatre, London on May 18, 1969. CONDITIONS RECORD: Visually both sides have marks, although they are mostly superficial, seen in critical 100W light! The record plays much better (!) with only a few faintest clicks and pops, and occasional light surface noise. None of these detracts from or overwhelms the music!! Only on side one there is one scratch which cause clicks fo over a minute! Otherwise it plays EXCELLENT++! Overall must be therefore grade as VERY GOOD +(+) or better!! LABELS: Both labels in NEAR MINT (M-) condition with no spindle marks. COVER: Matt laminated gatefold cover with some rubbing and ringwear. Apart from that nothing else. No tape. No splits. No writings, no stamps, no stickers. Almost no edge and no spine wear! This legendary cover must be grade VERY GOOD++! SUMMARY Another NEON classic!!! And a milestone in the UK prog jazz history at the end of the 60s!!!! Â© 2006 www.recordcollector.org Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
