Description
Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera 1968 - Direction - 8-63300
Side One Matrix #: S8-63300 A1 Side Two Matrix #: S8-63300 B2
This is the very rare UK stereo pressing of Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera's eponymous album. Released in 1968 this record really is an overlooked gem and a great example of quality British Pop-psych from the golden age. Copies in nice condition are getting harder to come by as we await a reissue at some point in the future.
The cover of this record is in Excellent condition with some minor creasing evident on the front. There are no seam-splits, tears, or writing and no major shelf or ring-wear. Both labels are bright and clean without any writing, tears or discolouration. The vinyl itself is graded as Very Good with a fair few hairlines and one feelable scratch (that doesn't affect audio). the record sounds great without any loud pops, skips or repetitive tickls, there is some surface noise audible during quieter passages but it does not overpower the music. I have provided a recording of the entire album which can be accessed from the link below so you can judge for yourself.
