Astrud Gilberto
The Shadow Of Your Smile
MONO

ORIGINAL 1965 UK 1ST MONO PRESS, AND PLAYS SUPERB !!!!  
AS YOU MIGHT KNOW, I DO LIKE TO LIST SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT FROM TIME TO TIME. SO HERE IS 'ASTRUD GILBERTO', WHO WAS FROM SALVADOR IN BRAZIL, AND HER 2nd ALBUM RELEASED IN 1965, AND IF YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR FEET UP, TURN DOWN THE LIGHT, AND RELAX, THEN YOU WILL WANT THIS PLAYING IN THE BACK GROUND. ASTRUD GILBERTO SHOT TO INTERNATIONAL FAME IN THE MID 1960's WHEN SHE RECORDED, "THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA", AND CONTINUED PERFORMING UNTIL 2002. THIS IS A BOSSA NOVA, BRAZILIAN JAZZ CLASSIC, AND A BEAUTIFUL ALBUM TO LISTEN TO !!!!

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1965 UK 1ST MONO PRESS  ::  V 8629 A-1  ::  V 8629 B-1 .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH VERY EARLY STAMPERS  ::  1 H  ::  1 GG . 
ON THE 1ST PRESS BLACK VERVE LABEL :: VLP.9107 .
WITH 'SOLD IN THE UK SUBJECT TO RESALE' LABEL TEXT .
'MGM RECORDINGS LTD MADE IN GT BRITAIN' ON TOP OF THE LABELS .

COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE Ltd. PATENTS PENDING, WITH LOVELY SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS. LOVELY LAMINATE, WITH SOME SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF LAMINATE CREASE LINES DOWN THE OPENING EDGE SIDE, WITH ALSO A SMALL TEAR AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO. THE BACK IS REALLY NICE, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, AND MOSTLY TO DO WITH THE OPENING EDGE SIDE ON THE FRONT, I WILL HAVE TO GRADE  ::  VG+ . WITHOUT THOSE LAMINATE CREASE LINES AND SMALL TEAR THE GRADE OF COURSE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER . 

VINYL :: THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT IT PLAYS WITH NO STATIC OR CRACKLE ANYWHERE, ALSO NO SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, POPS, OR CLICKS !!!!!

ALL I HEARD WAS ........

ON SIDE 1 :: BEAUTIFUL CRYSTAL CLEAR MONO AUDIO, JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK .

ON SIDE 2 :: BEAUTIFUL CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO !!!!

NOW VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS AMAZING, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY HARMLESS COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A LONGER COSMETIC HAIRLINE ON SIDE 1, AND ALSO ANOTHER ON SIDE 2, AND AGAIN HARMLESS AND ONLY SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE THE BEAUTIFUL MONO AUDIO :: EX+/NEAR MINT .

LABELS   :: BEAUTIFUL :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL INNER :: NO SPLITS, OR WRITING VERY NICE, WITH A SMALL TEAR ON ONE SIDE EDGE ON THE OPENING SIDE EDGE, AND JUST A BIT OF LIGHT AGEING, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL  :: VG .

WELL THEY CERTAINLY DO NOT MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANY MORE, THE PERFECT CHILL OUT ALBUM, AND A TRUE BLAST FROM THE 1960's BOSSA NOVA PAST !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!  ROSE.

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
