First UK pressing of this magnificent vintage album !

Vinyl-Thick cut heavyweight giant.

Small faces were formed in London and within ten weeks of their formation had a smash hit with their record “What cha Gonna Do About It”? Took many months to produce this first album and the tracks are unbelievable. Even at this early stage in their career and development, they were acclaimed as the most exciting group on the pop scene. They had their own unique sound and did it sound good. This first LP exemplifies their talents and their individuality.

Laminated front, James Upton ,very first issue, single flip back sleeve. Minimum creasing and no laminate lifting /Slight corner crease in one corner. No hand writing on reverse. Not much edge wear at all . No significant ring wear. Very Good+ condition .

Audio

Plays very near, perfect. Low level static detected between tracks, but as soon as music commences, each track is delivered with exceptional clarity and the grooves maintain clear channels throughout play. There are NO repetitive ticks and this vinyl offers the listener an absolute dream of a delivery. There is the slightest blip on sound which endures for a split second where I have located one tiny ,invisible scratch on the penultimate track Side 1. No other aural discrepancies to mention and this vinyl delivers like no other. A virtually near perfect aural delivery !! The monotone perspective operates in sensational style, with a sharp definition and a razor sharp edge .The depth of sound is quite unbelievable, with no distortion detected. Plays exceptionally well and is rated at least excellent in accordance with the RRPG, the UK collectors catalogue. Absolutely superb!

Vinyl

Several surface marks visible if angled against a strong light .The vinyl still retains a deep lustre and an excellent sheen. Very good + visual ! Beautiful sheen. A pleasing visual.

Labels

Rare red open Decca first issue format, in excellent condition with several spindle lines observed. No lifting/peeling, nor rips nor tears. Slight spindle wear visible. No crusting and no graffiti of any kind. No damage to report .

A superb example of an elusive album release .
