Description

An original 1st press of QUAD on the UK Track label from 1973. Matrix A1/B1/A1/B2 - very 1st cut [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 - even the waste vinyl is still present in the spindle hole. Under close inspection we could only make out a couple of very light marks - 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. I'd say it performs within the top two I've ever auditioned - which is no mean feat. Beautiful quality audio as is only delivered from these true early copies. Interference is pretty much non-existent. All I could detect were a couple of crackles in a couple of isolated moments. 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. They are particularly prone to heavy surface wear, ring wear, tearing etc etc. But this copy is quite possibly the best I've witnessed. Front and rear are amazingly well preserved with barely any wear at all and no signs of creasing either. Edge wear is extremely light for this title. Even the spine is totally intact - and that really is a difficult find. The interior looks very nice and fresh - no signs of ageing at all. Please note that the inner book is coming away from the staples - this seems to occur on 99% of all copies so not surprising. The Booklet has come away all in one piece. Also worth noting that this booklet has not been heavily thumbed, or anything - it's in lovely condition. Overall a top-level specimen that really would be very difficult to replicate.
Inner (Ex-) Light ageing. No splits, or marks.
