SAVOY BROWN ONE STEP FURTHER V.RARE 1ST PRESSING MONO 1969 EXCELLENT CONDITION









Description

SAVOY BROWN: A STEP FURTHER LK5013 1969 1ST PRESSING.

HERE IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A FIRST PRESSING COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM FROM 1969.

NOT ONLY IS IT RARE TO FINE A MONO COPY BUT IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION TOO!! THIS WAS NOT ONE OF SAVOY BROWN'S TOP SELLERS AND I BELIEVE VERY FEW MONO COPIES WERE MADE BEFORE BEING DELETED, MAKING THIS VERY RARE AND AS A LOT OF MINTERS HAVE DISAPPEARED INTO COLLECTIONS I SUSPECT THAT IT WILL ONLY GET RARER!!  I HAVE OWNED THIS RECORD SINCE 1970 AND IT HAS HAD LITTLE PLAY OVER THE YEARS.

THE SINGLE SLEEVE OUTER JACKET BY CLOUT AND BAKER LTD HAS A LAMINATED FRONT WHICH HAS A GOOD SHINE WITH VERY MINOR CREASING WITH ONLY A FAINT RING MARK. IT IS CLEAN WITH NO WRITING OR STICKERS.

THE BACK COVER SHOWS A MORE EVIDENT RING AS IT IS AGAINST A WHITE BACKGROUND AND THIS ALSO SHOWS SOME STAINING WHICH I HOPE IS EVIDENT IN THE PICTURES. THERE ARE NO CREASES. TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE ARE CLEAN WITH NO WEAR. SPINE HAS PINCHED ENDS AS MANUFACTURED AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION ALL THE WRITING BEING CRISP, CLEAN, AND READABLE. CORNERS HAVE BARELY ANY WEAR AND THE OPENING EDGE SHOWS MINIMAL FEATHERING.  ON SCRUTINY THERE IS A PIN HOLE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER AS INDICATED IN THE PICTURE. 

THE UNBOXED DECCA LABELS ARE BOTH IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO WRITING ON, THERE ARE A FEW SPINDLE MARKS AROUND THE HOLE, BUT HARDLY NOTICEABLE. THE HOLE IS GOOD SHOWING NO SIGNS OF WEAR. THE COLOUR IN THE PICTURES MAKE THEM LOOK FADED BECAUSE OF THE FLASH, THE COLOUR IS ACTUALLY A NICE RED COLOUR, JUST AS IT SHOULD BE!

SIDE 1 IS STAMPED ARL-9037-P-1A, HAS A GOOD SHINE AND PLAYED EXCELLENTLY WITH HARDLY ANY STATIC NOISE, A REAL TREAT!

SIDE 2 IS STAMPED ARL-9038-P-1A, AGAIN THERE IS A GOOD SHINE AND PLAYED THROUGH WITHOUT FAULT. SOUND QUALITY APPEARS LESS THAN SIDE ONE BUT THIS IS BECAUSE IT WAS A LIVE RECORDING.

THE ALBUM IS OF HEAVY VINYL AND DOES SHOW MINOR SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS UNDER STRONG LIGHT BUT PLAYBACK IS NOT NOTICEABLY AFFECTED, IN FACT IT PLAYED BACK WITH HARDLY ANY UNWANTED NOISE ON MY SYSTEM.

THE PAPER SLEEVE IS ORIGINAL AND HAS NO RIPS/TEARS.

PLEASE READ ALL THE CONDITIONS OF SALE BEFORE BIDDING!!

I EXPECT THIS ALBUM TO EXCEED £40 AND WILL THEREFORE REQUIRE INSURANCE FOR POSTING PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE COST OF THIS BELOW.

PS. THE PICTURE OF THE CORNER WAS TAKEN TO SHOW THE GENERAL CONDITION OF THE CORNERS AND THE WRITING ON THE SPINE, SOME WILL NOTE THAT THE SPINE CAT. NUMBER IS FOR THE STEREO VERSION, SO BEFORE YOU ASK THE SLEEVE IS PRINTED FOR BOTH STEREO AND MONO, THE MONO NUMBER BEING JUST OUT OF SHOT.

SO ACCORDING TO THE GRADING BELOW I RATE THE SLEEVE EX, THE VINYL PLAYBACK EX+ VINYL VISUALLY EX-

"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplaced should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

 I  TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ITEM DESCRIPTION IS AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE HOWEVER GRADING VINYL IS SUBJECTIVE. I GRADE ON THE BASIS THAT THERE WILL BE A DEGREE OF BACKGROUND NOISE AND THE OCCASIONAL POP, PARTICULARLY ON THE QUIET SECTIONS, BETWEEN TRACKS AND FADE INS/OUTS.SUCH NOISE WILL NOT MEAN A DEGRADING OF QUALITY RATING.

I AM NOT A DEALER BUT I AM DOWN SIZING SO I AM SELLING OFF A LOT OF STUFF, AS AND WHEN I HAVE THE TIME TO LIST IT. THIS  INCLUDES A LARGE COLLECTION OF VINYL WHICH CONTAINS SOME RARE ALBUMS  DATING FROM THE SIXTIES TO THE EIGHTIES MANY OF WHICH WERE BOUGHT NEW OR NEARLY NEW AND ENJOYED BEING PLAYED ON EQUIPMENT FROM THAT PERIOD. I HAVE ALSO INHERITED A COUPLE OF HUNDRED ALBUMS FROM A RELATIVE. BOTH HE AND I ENJOYED OUR MUSIC AND THE RECORDS WERE PLAYED WITHOUT CONSIDERING THEM BEING A COLLECTORS PIECE, HOWEVER WE ALWAYS ENDEAVOURED TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR PRECIOUS ALBLUMS!
