VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other
TEXTURED LABELS, G&L PATENT PENDING GF - SUPERB SOUND
VAN DER GRAAF GENERATORThe Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other
1971 UK CHARISMA (CAS 1007) EARLY 2nd PRESSING OF VAN DER GRAAF'S "The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other"
GREAT COPY - SEEN LITTLE USE - PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY THROUGHOUT AND SOUNDS SENSATIONAL
PRESSED WITH ROUGH TEXTURED LARGE 'MAD HATTER' CHARISMA LABELS WITH "MANUFACTURED BY B&C RECORDS LTD" STATEMENT
MATRIX NUMBERS: CAS 1007 +A + G / CAS 1007 + B + G (first pressing matrix numbers)
THE LP IS HOUSED IN A SOFT-BACKED MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents Pending" (again, the original first issue sleeve with the G&L "patent pending" text)
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE DIE-CUT INNER SLEEVE
Recorded at Trident Studios, London, December 11-14, 1969.
Trident was perhaps the most advanced studio in Europe at the time and the group made good use of the new technology to created a recording of outstanding technical quality.
Most of the album was recorded on an 8-track reel to reel machine. However, the song After The Flood was recorded on the brand new state of the art MM-1000 16-track machine built by Ampex. This makes it perhaps the first such 16 track recording ever made in the U.K.
The title of the LP is taken from John Minton: "We're all awash in a sea of blood, and the least we can do is wave to each other."
Side 1: DARKNESS (11/11) / REFUGEES / WHITE HAMMER
Side 2: WHATEVER WOULD ROBERT HAVE SAID? / OUT OF MY BOOK / AFTER THE FLOOD
LABELS: NEAR MINT
A clean, unmarked pair of labels - barely a spindle mark to be seen
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
In natural light both surfaces are unmarked with a deep sheen. Under bright light just some harmless wispy hairlines can be seen
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
In keeping with the records barely played status my one careful play-check at loud volume found practically nothing to fault - just an odd light tick - nothing really - otherwise, stunning sound quality - plays beautifully throughout
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Clean and unmarked - a touch of ring and some tiny knocks to the edges but overall a fine example of this soft-back and quite delicate original gatefold
