Description

An original 1st press of QUAD on the UK Track label. Matrix A1/B2-A1/B2. Make sure you're getting a true first pressing... The labels should be Matt and flat...i.e. not shiny...and not ridged. Why is this a big deal? Because the 1st 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 both original inner sleeves. So, we're 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/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, one very superficial trail - 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 any background at all. I'll do the usual caveat - maybe you'll pick out a couple of crackles in a couple of isolated spots per side. Truly a superb rendition - it really is that good. 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-) Notoriously difficult to find in top condition. That front will normally exhibit a good bit of surface wear.... But this example seems to be exhibiting very little surface wear on the front. The rear is almost as good with just lightest handling observable. There's some light edge wear along the bottom edge - but its looking better than most copies. The spine is in very good order with just a couple of small patches of wear - all text fully legible. The interior is in excellent order. Very little sign of ageing. The main section of the internal booklet nearly always falls out. This example is just about hanging in there - which is better than most. The pages are all intact and have not been heavily thumbed. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity. A nice looking early copy of this highly sought after WHO classic.
Inners (Vg) Aged. Bags present. No splits.
