THE SMALL FACES FROM THE BEGINNING DECCA LK4879 MONO 1967
MATRIX SIDE 1. XARL - 7881 - 5B SIDE 2. XARL - 7882 - 8A
THE SMALL FACES LAST LP FOR DECCA AND RELEASED IN 1967 AFTER THE BAND HAD DEPARTED TO THE IMMEDIATE LABEL, NEVER THE LESS A GREAT ALBUM AND REGARDED AS CONTAINING THEIR FINEST EARLY DECCA RECORDINGS. VERY HARD TO FIND AS A UK PRESSING IN DECENT PLAYABLE CONDITION, WHILE NOT PERFECT THIS COPY IS IN GREAT LOOKING AND PLAYING CONDITION WITH A VERY NICE SLEEVE.
THE CLOUT AND BAKER FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE AND AS A RULE THESE EARLY DECCA SLEEVES ARE NOTORIOUSLY FRAGILE AND PRONE TO EDGE WEAR AND SPLITS, THANKFULLY THIS ONE IS IS IN GREAT SHAPE, NICE AND FLAT WITH NO SPLITS OR TEARS, THE FRONT ARTWORK IS CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH NO COLOUR FADING AND THE LAMINATE IS NICE AND SHINY WITH NO LIFT. THE REAR AGAIN IS CLEAN, BRIGHT AND JUST BEGINNING TO SHOW SLIGHT RINGWEAR, THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE GREAT AND THE SPINE IS FULLY READABLE, THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL STRAIGHT AND SHARP. STILL A FANTASTIC SLEEVE AND GRADED VERY GOOD+.
THE VINYL IS A CLASSIC UK DECCA MONO 1ST PRESSING, HEAVYWEIGHT AND THICK WITH RED UK MONO UNBOXED GROOVED DECCA MONO LABELS, THE PLAYING SURFACES ARE STILL VERY CLEAN AND SHINY BUT HAVE VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKING, CERTAINLY NOTHING DEEP AND NOTHING THAT INTERUPTS THE PLAYBACK, WHICH IS ALL THERE, WITH VIBRANT MONO REPRODUCTION THROUGHOUT ALL TRACKS ON BOTH SIDES NO SKIPS NO JUMPS JUST GREAT MONO, A LOVELY COPY OF A VERY RARE AND COLLECTABLE CLASSIC, GRADED VERY GOOD+
