LP
Cover/Disc: EX++/EX++
Ralph     RR0274
MONO
1st original USA 1000 copies limited press from 1974
matrix numbers: B 12993-A  /  B 12994-B
Transfer date on the trail off vinyl: --------- | Labels: M-/NM

The original thing, the first LP from the Residents and Ralph Records, too.
The original Beatles cover with the early Ralph logo.
The original mono mix, longer than all the other editions.
Note that all subsequent presses have the new stereo mix, no exceptions for the reprints with the Beatles cover or the CD versions (but I don't know about possible new releases).
The back cover states "Residents, Unic.", not "The Residents" like the reprints and the original liner notes have quite important differences.



In great conditions:
album conserved in plastic bag and vinyl in added antistatic thin inner sleeve since my purchase.
The cover
is clean, has a couple of very little minor signs at the opening side seam; a little wear on both the right corners, very minor on the downer one; an almost invisible indentation on the spine, under the middle, but you can see the 5 photos on this page.
[I'm talking about hardly visible things, just beacuse of the rarity and the great interest people have on this LP]
I can see no other flaws, except, maybe, the upper side of the jacket is slightly yellowing, or is it the kind of paper?.
A beatiful vintage jacket, conserved with care.
The vinyl
has no scratches or major flaws at all but some of those hardly visible signs due to inner sleeve or similar, very very supercial, I see them under a transversal light only.
The labels
seem in Near Mint or Mint conditions, I don't see any sign or spindle mark but, of course, this doesn't mean the record has not been played.
There is a little skull stamp (see photos) on the side A label and on one side of the inner sleeve. No infos on this stamp, sorry.
The playing
tells me the record has been played with care, you will hear some background pops in the most silent parts, but this is true in most copies of this record: I bought my personal one new and sealed from Ralph Records many years ago and it had some pops here and there, the vinyl is not of the best quality and there is no way, I guess, to be honest, to get a perfect copy.
Again, I remind you, these are minor things most of sellers hardly talk about.

Copertina/Disco: EX++/EX++
1a stampa originale USA, limitata a 100 copie, del 1974 | Etichette: M-/NM

In condizioni molto buone. Conservato sin dal mio acquisto in busta di plastica, vinile in busta antistatica sottile aggiunta.
La copertina ha un paio di piccolissimi segni di usura dalla parte dell'inserimento del disco, lungo il bordo, un po' di usura ai due angoli.
Il vinile non ha alcun graffio ma alcuni di quei segni molto superficiali, di solito causati dalla busta interna e visibili solo sotto una luce trasversale.
Il vinile che fu usato per questa stampa non era della migliore qualità, qualche "pop" di fondo nelle parti più silenziose è inevitabile e comunque il disco è stato usato ma certamente con molta cura.
C'è un timbretto con teschio sulla etichetta del lato A e su un lato della busta interna originale.
