A GENUINE FIRST PRESS EMI LIVE IN JAPAN CAN EASILY BE INDENTIFIED.
THE MATRIX NUMBERS MUST END -1U ON ALL FOUR SIDES
THE LABELS MUST HAVE 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO' RIM WORDING
THE EMI WORDING IDENTIFIES A LATER PRESS.
INTERESTINGLY THIS IS ALSO A CBS CONTRACT PRESS WHICH WAS ALSO A FIRST PRESS, HAVING THE -1U MATRIX NUMBERS AND THE GRAMOHPHONE CO RIM WORDING. THIS WAS SIMPLY DUE TO THE DEMAND PLACED ON THE HAYES EMI FACTORY. THIS CONTRACT PRESS HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT LABEL LAYOUT
THIS SET IS WITHOUT A DOUBT OF INVESTMENT GRADE QUALITY
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PURPLE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, . THE BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
BEING A FIRST PRESS THE 'GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' IS WORDED AROUND THE RIM. LATER PRESSES HAD 'EMI RECORDS' IN ITS PLACE
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORDS HAVE HAD VERY LIMITED PLAY IN THE 51 YEARS SINCE IT WAS RELEASED
THE VINYL
BOTH DISC ARE THE ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS ISSUES. THEY BOTH GLEAM LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOK ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS DISC ONE SHOW SOME EMBEDDED DULL SPECKLES WHICH HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE SOUND WHATSOEVER. DISC TWO IS PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP'S PLAY THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS SET SOUNDS.
IN PARTICULAR ITS WORTH LISTENING TO CHILD IN TIME AS THIS STARTS VERY QUIETLY AND GIVES A REAL FLAVOUR OF THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL.
BOTH DISCS PLAY ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT ON EITHER DISC, SHOWING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS SUPERB SET HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED AND WEIGHTED STYLUS AND ALSO ONE THAT WAS UNWORN OR DAMAGED.
THE CLARITY AND LOUDNESS OF THIS STEREO PERFORMANCE IS JUST INCREDIBLE, AND EVERY NOTE AND SCREAM IS HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS INTENDED. AGAIN CHILD IN TIME MORE THAN DEMONSTRATES JUST HOW MAGNIFICENTLY THE VINYL REPRODUCES THE LIVE PERFORMANCE
AT NO POINT IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR ANY OTHER VINYL NOISE FOR THAT MATTER. NO STATIC EITHER. THE SILENT PASSAGES ARE SILENT
JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPLIT SECONDS OF LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND ON DISC ONE AND A COUPLE OF STATIC TICS
I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS A CLEANER AND BETTER SOUNDING COPY OF THIS GENINE FIRST PRESS 1972 LIVE SET
THE REPRODUCTION EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED GATEFOLD IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL HYPE STICKER
ONE OF THE HISTORICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS SLEEVE IS SERIOUS RING WEAR AND HEAVY CREASING TO THE LAMINATE. HERE WE HAVE ONE THAT IS IN MAGNIFICENT UNBLEMISHED CONDITION, AND IS JUST ABOUT AS PERFECT AS YOU WILL EVER FIND THIS SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND VERY CLEAN AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE
THERE IS NOT ONE CREASE OR CREASE LINE ANYWHERE ON THIS SURFACE
THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE ON THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR, OR RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP EDGES ONLY SHOW A TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE REAR SURFACE NEAR THE LEFT CORNER.
THE BOTTOM FRONT EDGE HAS SOME RUB
THE SPINE IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT, AND THE TYPEFACE LEGIBLE COMPLETELY, NO LOSS OF THE LAMINATE ANYWHERE. THIS IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS SPINE I HAVE SEEN, AND THE TWO TIPS ARE 100% UNRUBBED
THE REAR SURFACE IS ONCE AGAIN IMMACULATE WITH AN ULTRA GLOSSY SHEEN. ONCE AGAIN NOT ONE CREASE OR CREASE LINE ANYWHERE, AND ONLY ONE MINUSCULE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE NO RING WEAR AND DEFINITELY NO RECORD SHAPE
BOTH OPENING EDGES ARE SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OIF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INTERIOR, WITHOUT ANY OF THE USUAL PAPER LOSS RIGHT ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE WHERE THE GATEFOLD LAMINATE TUCKS OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE THE ORANGE SURFACE IS PRISTINE
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
