Description

An original 1st press of QUAD on the UK Track label from 1973. Matrix A2/B2/A1/B2 [including V420 on each side]. Please note true 1st press labels are easy to identify - they must be matt and flat..not ridged! The real 1st press are heavy set and sound significantly better than later copies. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original soft-card gatefold cover with inner booklet. Also included are both original inner sleeves. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) In fantastic condition and has only seen very light use. Under close inspection we could only make out a couple of light marks per side - nothing vaguely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback across all four sides. Well, this is certainly a top-level copy if that's what you're hankering after. Beautiful quality audio as is only delivered from these true early copies. Interference is pretty much non-existent. All I could detect were a few crackles in a couple of isolated moments. Most certainly an impressive rendition from start to finish with very little to find fault with. FINAL UPGRADE.
Cover (Ex) These soft-card 1st issue covers are an absolute nightmare to find in top-level condition due to the way they were manufactured. This example, however, majorly bucks the trend and looks really sweet. Front and rear are really well preserved with hardly any handling at all. Have a look on E-Bay and see if you can find any other copies that look that good..I'd vouch that they are few and far between. Edge wear is very light for this title and the spine is borderline perfect [this is very unusual]. The interior looks very nice and fresh - no signs of ageing at all. The heavy booklet seems to have remained attached to the outer cover - not sure if it stayed like that [unlikely], or as is more likely someone has re-secured it in later years. Either way the inner booklet pages are all intact and in fabulous condition. A lovely example from any angle..and I'd suggest this is abut as good as it's possible to go without finding one that has never even been touched.
Inners (Ex) No splits and very little ageing.
