SMALL FACES THIRD LP AND ARGUABLY THE MOST VALUABLE. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS ON THE LILAC LABEL. IN MONO
THE SLEEVE IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT OT DESCRIBE AS IT IS BOTH BRILLIANT AND FLAWED. I WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN. IT WAS KEPT FROM NEW IN A THIN LAYER OF PLASTIC, NOT SHRINK WRAP BUT SIMILAR. ANYWAY THIS WRAPPING BECAME TORN AND HALF OF IT WENT MISSING. THEREFORE HALF WAS KEPT AS NEW AND HALF WAS EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. CHECK OUT THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE.VE TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN. IT HASN'T AFFECTED THE FRONT AT THE COVER IS VERY DARK, BUT THE WHITENESS ON THE BACK IS HALF TOTALLY MINT, AND THE OTHER HALF SHOWS AGEING. HOW VERY FRUSTRATING, BUT IT DOES SHOW WHY RECORDS SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM NEW. ANYWAY BACK TO THE FRONT SURFACE. NON LAMINATED IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO HEAVY CREASES AT ALL OND ONLY A COUPLE OF THUMB LINES WHERE THE RECORD HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE SLEEVES. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS THE ONLY AREA THAT SHOWS ANY SHELF WEAR, OTHER THAN A SMALL NICK AT THE OPENING EDGE OF THE TOP. THE SPINE IS PERFECT AS IT WAS STILL IN THE WRAP. THE OPENING EDGE HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED HAS A BAND OF AGEING, AND TO PROVE THE WRAP WAS PLACED ON AFTER PURCHASE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS NAME IS NEATLY WRITTEN ON THE BACK HALF IN THE LIGHT AND HALF IN THE SHADE. OVERALL THIS IS VERY VERY ACCEPTABLE SLEEVE IN VG+ CONDITION, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN EX+ WITHOUT THE TWO TONE!!!
THE LABELS ARE THE LILAC IMMEDIATE DESIGN WHICH BECAUSE THEY ARE LIGHT DO SHOW ANY MARKS MORE THAN MOST. THEREFORE I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT THERE IS NO SPINDLE HOLE WEAR ONLY A HANDFUL OF LIGHT SPIDER LINES . NO WRITING OR MARKS. THERE IS A TAX CODE KT ON SIDE ONE
THE VINYL IS GENERALLY IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE IS SOME EXTREMELY LIGHT HANDLING MARKS AND ONE OR TWO LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS, BUT OVERALL A PLEASING LP TO LOOK AT.
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RECORD I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE NEAR SILENT RUN IN. THE MUSIC WHEN T STARTS IS BOTH CRISP AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM DISTORTION. THIS SAYS THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO A HEAVY OR WORN STYLUS, AND THAT THE RECORD WHILST HAS BEEN PLAYED A FAIR FEW TIMES HAS BEEN TREATED KINDLY AND PUT ON A DECENT SYSTEM. THIS SUPERB PERFORMANCE CONTINUES ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND ONLY THE VERY LIGHTEST F BACKGROUND IN PLACES AND THE OCCASIONAL LITTLE LIGHT POP INTERFERE WITH TH OVERALL PERFORMANCE.
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE VINYL EX AND AM CONFIDENT WILL BE WARMLY APPRECIATED BY THE NEW OWNER
