DESCRIPTION:
Genuine 1st Press on original black/yellow Parlophone label and front laminated sleeve with flipbacks rear. This version must have had a very short run before it was changed to the more common version with orange label Parlophone and with non-laminated and non-flipback sleeve. Very rare indeed, very difficult to find other examples on the web (I could only find perhaps one or two) and definitely first one I have ever found.
ITEM: VINYL LP
ARTIST: Deep Purple
TITLE: Shades of Deep Purple
COUNTRY PRINTED: Australia
LABEL: Parlophone
CAT No: PSCO 7055
VINYL: EX+ Very clean and lovely sheen, minimal light brushlines visible under strong light / lovely distortion free audio start to finish with the lightest surface noise audible between tracks and only light crackle on intos to sides and a few of the lightest backgound clicks (hardly any, literally 3 or 4 ) across whole listen. A lovely copy. FULLY PLAY TESTED!!!
COVER: EX Strong solid condition, the most minimal edge/corner wear / a few mild creases from and across fully readable spine / light 'rubbing' ring wear rear / track duration very neatly written next to each track rear (see photos)

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
