Description
This is an original, 1967 UK pressing of the classic Pink Floyd 7inch single See Emily Play - B Side is Scarecrow
One of Syd Barrett's greatest, surely!
This record is on the Columbia record label, number DB 8214 and comes complete with original red and white Columbia sleeve
MATRIX NUMBERS : Side 1 7X CA 30214 - 1 stampers "1" at 10 o'clock and "G R" at 4 o'clock Side 2 - 7X CA 30215 - 1 stampers "1" at 10 o'clock and "G 0" at 4 o'clock : a true very first pressing!
The condition of the vinyl is Very Good: much of the original vinyl sheen has been retained and the appearance of the vinyl is impressive; under a bright light there are many very thin, surface only spindly hairlines but absolutely nothing deep rooted and no nasty scuffs. The quality of the audio is also Very Good. There are no clicks, "pops", skips, or jumps and the level of crackle is minimal to negligible - in fact the only audio blemish is some slight sound distortion when played loud and even this only becomes noticeable on side 2 when played at higher volume - this is typical of a mass produced single of this type from this year. The record labels are both EXCELLENT with barely any blemishes at all, apart from a couple of very small, light scuffs which only become apparent upon close inspection when held up to a bright light. The original Columbia red and white sleeve is in Very Good condition - not perfect, however, since there is some mild creasing around the edges and is a little tatty; it also has the number "8607" written in biro in the top right hand corner.
Not perfect then, or even near mint, but definitely a strong "Very Good" and an increasingly rare and sought after piece of progressive rock history that will only increase in value and that would enhance any serious collector's collection!
A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 40 years and have a huge collection. A combination of space requirements and a need to help fund my retirement has prompted me to "rationalise" my collection and sell some of my much loved gems. My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I'll sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item, by the way. Richard
