Description
A 1st pressing of SBS on the UK WWA label from 1973. Matrix 1/1. Please note 1st issues show the logo in silver - later reissues all use white [and the labels are flat - not ridged]. The heavy set vinyl comes housed in an original gatefold cover. Importantly first issue covers do not credit the printer on the rear and the image in the interior stretches right to the covers edge [i.e. it is not cropped]. Also included is the original inner sleeve with lyrics and credits. 100% original and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) In superb condition, shiny like new, and has clearly only seen light use. Under close inspection we struggled to make out a single mark. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are nice and quiet and the audio comes across with great clarity and minimal interference. We only detected a touch of light static in FLUFF and even this is slight. So, this is the de facto original pressing and it really delivers in spectacular form.
Cover (Ex) A truly difficult cover to find in top condition as both front and rear are very very susceptible to ageing and/or wear. This copy, however, is in unusually fine form. That iconic front cover is in great condition with only light handling wear. The rear, which so often fades, is still nice and white and unmarked. Edge wear is minimal and the spine in pretty much totally intact. The interior is immaculate and overall the cover retains excellent rigidity. A very fine example indeed.
Inner (Ex-) Slight ageing and one tiny side split - otherwise very well preserved.
Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
