Description
This beautiful 100% verified 1979 UK original first pressing of Gang of Four’s post-punk masterpiece Entertainment! (EMI / EMC 3313) is in collector-grade Very Good Plus (VG+) condition across both the visual vinyl disc and the outer sleeve. It features every single definitive late-1979 archival marker, including the rare blue/teal star printed under the price code on the back cover, the correct original yellow lyric inner sleeve insert marked EMC 3313 (I), and the custom split-design center labels. Most importantly for audiophiles, the dead wax features matching machine-stamped -1U Hayes plant codes on both sides alongside the highly sought-after, premium hand-etched signatures of legendary mastering engineer Ray Staff (RAYS on Side One / Rays and OF THE PLAN... on Side Two), guaranteeing a punchy, dynamically superior sonic presentation. The vinyl retains a brilliant factory mirror gloss with only superficial diagonal hairline paper scuffs from storage that do not affect playback quality, while the crisp jacket shows only minor shelf scuffs and faint corner dings as pictured.
Please review all photos for your best idea of condition.
