Description
An original 1st press of QUAD on the UK Track label. Matrix A1/B2-A1/B2. Make sure you're getting a proper 1st from '71.. The labels should be Matt and flat...i.e. not shiny...and not ridged. Why is this a big deal? Because the 1st issue copies are that bit nearer the original masters and they were pressed heavier. The net result - much better sound! The vinyl comes housed in an original soft card cover - these are the genuine 1st issue. Due to the way they were manufactured it is hellishly difficult to find an even ok looking copy. We also have the original plastic bag warning inner sleeves. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) A sparingly played copy - it has certainly been well cared for. Under close inspection I could only make out a couple of very light marks per side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback. I've had a couple of copies before like this one - and let me tell you 'they are a revelation'. The audio is to die for - everything is there in the audio. Detail, depth, energy and a lovely quiet background. All the ingredients for a mind-blowing rendition. Give a cheaper non-1st copy a go if you like. But I can assure you - if you care about your audio - money would be far better invested here. This baby plays clean into all areas - those slow builds are all lovely and clean. I'm struggling to pick out much background at all really. All I could detect was the faintest static presence in, perhaps, one very brief and isolated quiet moment per side. Truly a superb rendition. If you rate this Lp as highly as I do - you will not be wanting to compromise. Get the cleanest early copy you can get your hands on. Very Highly recommended.
Cover (Ex-) Really difficult to find this original soft card cover in anything approaching this level of preservation. That front will normally exhibit a good bit of surface wear.... But this example exhibits only the very slightest surface wear on the front or rear [unusual]. There's no creasing front or rear either. Smooth front and rear with no signs of ageing. Edge wear is slight for this title. The spine is in terrific order with practically no wear [highly unusual]. The interior is in excellent order - much better than you typically find. There's just light signs of handling - very little in reality. The main section of the internal booklet nearly always falls out - and this example is no exception. It has detached in one complete piece leaving the outer page in place. The pages are all intact and have not been heavily thumbed. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity. A very impressive original example of this highly sought after WHO classic.
Inner (Vg+) Two 1 inch side spits. But a bit aged in places.
