Another from my personal collection of records that I have accumulated over a period of more than 45 years. This is an original 1st UK pressing 1977 ACDC "Let There Be Rock" Looks in virtually unplayed condition. This was pre ordered and purchased by me from new. I initially only ever played this album a hand full of times to record to tape and then it was stored with the vinyl separated from the cover and sleeve for protection. This is how I have always stored my records. As you can see from the photos this looks almost as good as the day that I purchased it. I have recorded the complete album for you to listen to in the played below! The audio is absolutely stunning crystal clear and vibrant through out! Audio is graded almost as good as it gets Excellent plus to near mint on my systems. The 1st issue Shorewood Packaging cover is also in amazing condition very rarely ever seen like this!

Let There Be Rock is the fourth studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released on 21 March 1977. All songs were written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott.




It was originally released in Australia on the Albert Productions label. A modified international edition was released on Atlantic Records on 25 July 1977.




Let There Be Rock was also the last AC/DC recording to feature bassist Mark Evans, who previously played on T.N.T. (1975) and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976).




On 3 April 1977, AC/DC filmed a live performance of "Dog Eat Dog" for Australia's Countdown.




In July 1977, the band further promoted Let There Be Rock by filming a music video for the album's title track. Recorded in a church in Sydney's Surry Hills known as the Kirk Gallery, it featured Scott as a priest and the rest of the band as altar boys.




The album cover features an image of Buffalo's Chris Turner's fingers on a guitar neck. This edition was eventually repackaged with the international version's cover (see image), marking the first time an Australian AC/DC album cover was matched to its corresponding international edition.




In 1980, AC/DC released a live concert motion picture titled AC/DC: Let There Be Rock. In 1997, an expanded audio recording of this concert was released on CD as Let There Be Rock: The Movie, on discs 2–3 of the Bonfire box set.

The Vinyl

 
The vinyl lays perfectly flat on the turntable and is free of any warps and looks like new condition. I can't even see a blemish on the playing surface what so ever!
 Any marks that possibly could be seen in strong light would be light wyspy sleeve removal type but too be honest I can't see any at all! importantly no audio sounding marks or needle marks at all, at least none that would cause any loud constant clicks or pops even static ticks that I heard at all!




The Audio Quality

I have played this track for track at very, very loud volume prior to listing at very loud volume. From the moment that the needle hits the playing surface , it is obvious that this vinyl not only visually but audibly has only ever been played one time before ever! The audio is stunning cristal clear and vibrant, very bright and clear throughout without any signs of distortion at all and plays with a lovely deep bassey feel only found like this on early pressings! Amaizingly, even in between tracks this is nice and silent very very rare copy like this! I would grade the audio at least  Near as mint as I could possibly hope in my opinion! An Audio Archive copy Never Need To Upgrade!

Please note! I always add this disclaimer. Please allow for minor isolated static/ticks perhaps heard in very isolated quiet places only,, but nothing constant throughout the audio. Please remember that this vinyl is an original 34 years old and would have been originally played on a 36 year old system.
Points to note! This album has been stored in a case laying dormant for over  36 years or more. A build up of dirt and dust in the grooves causes stat ticks/crackle.  A constant clean before each play is highly recommended. This will reduce any static and enhance the audio quality.  It is noted that I saw debrit left on the playing surface after play, indicating this will need further cleaning.. ((To be honest I never hear any major problems perhaps very minor static ticks to mention only!))

The Labels

These are the original black Atlantic labels There's not much to say but these are almost like new in my opinion. If you look very hard you may just about see a hand full of spider marks only no wear no spindle marks that I can see at all! The spindle hole is free of any wear and of course is perfectly round!

The Record Sleeve

This is the original plain paper sleeve patented made in England no splits or tears very clean indeed.

The Cover

This Is The Original early 1st issue/ Shorewood Packaging 1st UK Press un laminated  UK cover in absolutely tip top superb stunning Very Near Mint condition! These are almost impossible to keep in near perfect condition like this! No real rubbing wear at all, No real crushing to mention at the spine and no real rubbing wear that is often seen. Amazingly  no ring wear on the front or rear. There is a very minor scratch mark at the rear only noticed if looked for in my opinion. The vinyl has always been stored in a case separated from the cover which has protected this for nearly 34 years! Any indents or marks that may be noticed only if looked for in my opinion. This cover is graded at least excellent plus to Very Near Mint the best that you could find in my opinion.
