THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP
" THE SECOND ALBUM "
Released in 1966 on FONTANA RECORDS,
Catalogue number TL 5295
The LABELS are in excellent condition with just the usual spindle trails around the hole, visible on these matt finish FONTANA labels in angled light.
The MATRIX numbers are; Side One 687362 1 L // 1 v 420 , Side Two 687362 2 L // 1 420 , indicating that this is one of the original MONO FIRST PRESSINGS !
VINYL
The VINYL is in NEAR MINT condition with a beautiful sheen and only a few barely visible very very light paper sleeve scuffs.
I have just play checked this LP and the sound is WONDERFUL, as you always get with these early MONO pressings, a rich punchy bass, piercing harmonica not to mention Steve Winwood's, Ray Charles influenced, vocals. Try to keep still when "Keep On Running" is playing !!! Side One play grades MINT on my system; Garrard 401 turntable with SME 3009 arm, Shure V-15 type III Cartridge going thru a Leak Varislope Pre-amp and Leak Stereo 50 Valve Amp then out of a pair of B & W DM 640 Speakers. MAKES YOU WANT TO DANCE !!! Side Two also play grades MINT, no clicks, pops or skips, SUPERB, this is BLUE EYED SOUL AT IT'S VERY BEST !!! Until you hear their third LP, that is.
SLEEVE
The front LAMINATED SLEEVE has a crease top right (see photo). The opening edges are nice and sharp with no feathering. The unlaminated back cover has some mild age discolouration. There is no noticeable shelf wear to the edges, and the spine is nice and straight/firm, it certainly warrants an EXCELLENT grading (see photo). LP comes in it's ORIGINAL poly lined INNER SLEEVE, also in EXCELLENT condition, with a little age discolouration.
